The Monte number 4 is one of the easiest cigars to smoke. I keep mine slightly more humid than other cigars as I find this improves them for my taste. Any one wanting to try a Cuban for the first time should go for a Monte number 4, they are great and not overly complex or too long.

I didn't enjoy these! I only had room in the humi for four, and so smoke the fifth one first. It was just harsh. There was no subtle interplay of flavours, just a smokey burning charcoal type flavour. I did think I may just have had a bad one, so smoked the others some time later and although better, they still left a lot to be desired. They have a great price point, but once you try them, you very soon understand why the price is so low. Not for me.

THIS WAS A SUPRISE. I was thinking these were not going to be great shakes. I picked some up in cuba a while ago and brilliant they were. There were fantastically inexpensive out there (£2.50). The burn was nice and even. The burn was very slow for that matter. The ash held on well. Flavour wise they were a bit bitter and grassy (young tobacco) but a pleasant flavour profile followed; light spice, cedar, coffee and weirdly mustard (gave a nice little kick). Buy some, put away for 6 months and they will be ace, authentic, cuban smokes. BA HUMBUG to those cigar snobs who turn there nose up to anything that isn't a cohiba or a trinidad (both of which i tried).

Being new to smoking cubans i can now see what all the postive noise about this cigar is about. Had my first one a couple of days ago and i have only good things to say. Excellent construction, good consistent eay draw and burn with generous mouthfuls of smoke. Started creamy with chocolate, then progressed to nuttiness for the remainder of the smoke. Overall an excllent intro to the world of cubans, shall always try and keep some in the humi!

Wasn't really impressed with this. There are cigars of 'lesser' brands which are just as good for far less. I found it to be a very mediocre smoke.

Has a really bad experience with the Cazadores, so i wasn't expecting much from this. I'm glad i wasn't. It wasn't as harsh as i'd feared, but it was totally plugged somewhere towards the head, so i had to cut it in the middle and smoke it from there. Found it to be almost just as unpleasant as the other cigar i've tried of this brand, and don't plan on trying them again.
