Montecristo Especial No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Sunday 30 June, 2024 by David

This cigar was a very pleasant suprise. Initially I thought this would be a quick and underwhelming experience due to the vitola and gauge. However, my experience of this cigar was wonderful. It is not very complex in terms of flavour. But you do have the classic cream, hay and spice that is distinctive to a high quality Cuban cigar. Overall smoking time was approximately 1 hour. I would highly recommend this cigar. It paired very nicely with a sweet and buttery Chardonnay.

You wont be disappointed with this perfect example of a Montecristo. Very smooth, quintessential Cuban flavours - delivered in a smaller ring gauge which keeps it a mild to medium in my opinion. A classic. A go to. Will 100% be ordering more of these.

First time with one of these reputed sticks. A nice long smoke. Has to be smoked slowly. Very nice. Lovely flavour. Smoother than a Cappuccino. Some may think they are a Punchy price for a single but Not overpriced for the quality. Looking forward to the next one!

Good draws on all of these so far, thank goodness. And the flavours are out of this world! Rich yet delicate, creamy with a touch of pepper and exotic spice. Layers of woods, fresh ground coffee beans, cream and cocoa with hints of citrus, nutmeg and cinnamon. A slow and subtle progression of strength into the final third where I was surprised further with a little sweet but dark leather and a touch of shortbread and clove. These still have plenty of strength and richness in the back half to indicate they will only get better and better with more age too. All are smoking to my fingertips before getting hot. Milk chocolate wrappers and gorgeous format. Heavenly box aroma. Pure class and highly underrated cigars. Box code: REG JUL 18

Beautiful smoke! I normally prefer the chunky cigars but this one was great for a light midweek smoke. It burned with a lovely consistency and not too much of a kick. Quite mild indact. I would definitely get one if these again. I love the montecristos and this is no exception.

Great cigar, nice smoke, great draw and a lovely sweet flavour. Given 4/5 however because the wrapper started to peel and there was a nasty gash on the side of the cigar, splitting the wrapper. Didnt effect too much however, was rather annoying. On the whole a lovely cigar!
