Montecristo Especial Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Tuesday 01 March, 2022 by Austin

The mid-late 2018 boxes have been particularly amazing and well-constructed. They tend to draw far more easily and consistently than in the past these days. Sometimes a little firm on the draw, as is kind of how they should be really, but still producing plenty of smoke and the flavours are all there. Rich, complex and showing great legs for aging. Predominantly woodsy, creamy coffee, baking chocolate, gingerbread and hints of cinnamon and citrus. They start mellow and subtle and slowly develop through the length of the cigar to the darker flavours. Still some power in the final third but smoked to the nub before getting at all hot. Magnificent cigars, often overlooked along with the also excellent Especial No.2.

The Montecristo especial has always been a favourite of mine. However... From my experience, the Montecristo Especial is a risky cigar. It is a 50% chance it smokes and has a 50% chance of being plugged. On the 30/11/2020 i purchased a Montecristo especial from cgarsltd for £21.19. On the 14/11/2021 the Montecristo Especial from cgarsltd is priced at £29.99. The Montecristo Especial from cgarsltd is a risky 50/50 and now over priced. Weekends in Barcelona... book a cheap flight and you will find all cgarsltd Cubans at half the price.

Lanceros are getting popular again more and more again and this is not an exception. Great colder experience montecristo cigar. Smooth, earthy, leathery and coffee notes. David - C.Gars Ltd Cigar Ambassador

I'm not a huge fan of Monticristo's and these didn't do anything for that opinion. The ash only held for less than half an inch and fell on me at least 3 times. The draw was very hard and the taste is nowhere near that of a Cohiba siglo IV which is a similar size cigar. Rather disappointed for the price of this cigar. It's looks mighty classy though.

Im not a fan of smaller ring gauges but, Ill make an exception in this case. The wrapper was silky and smooth. The draw was excellent with a good volume of smoke. There are hints of cedar, chocolate, spice, and leather. The finish was long and very pleasent. written by Michael

The especial was a perfect cigar in construction and in flavour.This size is Fidel Castros most favourable size though he smokes the Cohiba brand.This cigars started mellow at the first but got stronger as I smoked it.This is a great cigar to smoke during daytime. written by Tarkan Nevzat GBR
