Montecristo No. 5 Cigar - Box of 10

Date Added: Saturday 04 March, 2017 by Gary

I received this as part of a 'short but sweet' sampler & found it to be the tightest cigar I have ever encountered. The band came away as soon as I touched it & having toasted & lit the cigar it went downhill from there. Unsmokable, a very disappointing experience which I allowed to expire & disregard. Needless to say I shall not be purchasing again. I thoroughly enjoy the Montecristo Purito as a 10 minute 'beer garden' smoke & my experience of the 'Open Master' was delightful. Unless you enjoy trying to suck a golf ball through a hose pipe, buy something else...

Fairly new to cigars but tried quite a few over the years. The No. 5 lights up easily enough and the burn is the most even I've seen. The draw was quite tight. Any more and would be pointless to smoke. Good cigar for a walk. 3 stars as has nothing on the No. 4 's but still a worthwhile satisfying smoke but will probably stick to No.4's on next order for inexpensive montecristos.

Not impressed as the wrapper came undone. Was cut perfectly well yet this still happened. Ruined the smoke for me.

After a very dissapointing experience with the Montecristo No. 4 I thought I'd pull this out and give it a wirl. Straight away I noticed the cigar felt very tight like the No. 4. Lit it up and found the same very tight unsmokable draw. I have heard good things about these cigars but they seem to be rolled very tight and for me just unsmokable. A real shame. I will continue on in my experementing adventure :)

Creamy, with leather and hints of spice. I tried two of these; the first was fine with a slightly tight draw, the second had a very tight draw and uneven burn. The flavour's nice, but I won't return to this size Monty; there are numerous better and cheaper options available. My score is an average of the two cigars.

I had one of these with a morning coffee on the weekend and the 2 went very well together. Loads of smoke for such a small guy, great flavour and burnt well. For some reason I got a bit of a menthol taste, has anyone else experienced that? No idea where it came from but still I enjoyed the cigar from start to finish.
