Montecristo A Cigar - 1 Single

This is a big cigar so have alot of time on your hands. It not the greatest cigar of the Monte line but ok for something different. It seems if you can get them aged their better. The taste will change throughout the cigar wiht alot of earthy and wood tones. Not my favorite but I will try once in a while. written by Roy

The ultimate celebration cigar. The A is well known to be exactly what it is... a big Monte. If youre looking for an everyday cigar, this isnt it, but if youre looking for something for a special occasion, or perhaps just a lazy day with a lot of time on your hands, this is a good choice. written by mmeadows

So how does the song go? Oh, yes: 1 Cohiba siglo I, £6.50. 1 Cohiba Lanceros, £15. 1 Bolivar Bonita, £5. 1 Montecristo A, I dare not say it! Coming up with a fantastic story to feed your wife in order for her to believe the necessity of your expenditure on a Monte A which is only worth half as much? Priceless!! No, not a wonderful smoke for this kindda money. A superior cigar of course, whose festive quality is much too overated though. The flavour, I admit, is special but down to its last 2,5 inches is almost impossible to smoke due to harshness and severe spiciness. Not that one has to go that far, but you may as well with such festive (apparently) cigar. written by Mihai

What a let down! After all the hype, the parades, and small countries being named after it I finaly had an "A". The cigar wrapper appeared dull, and dry with an ominus lack of oiliness. The draw was slightly tight. The smoke was a combination of coffee, and woodiness. For such a legend I found little complexity, and only mediocre taste. written by Michael

A very nice smoke and due to its size, the tast changes the longer you stay with it. written by Murray Bridgmount GBR
