Date Added: Friday 21 February, 2025
I haven't been smoking cigars long, and this is only my second Montecristo (the other being an Open J, which I really enjoyed), however I had to abandon all hopes as it was almost completely unsmokeable.
I was expecting good things, however it seemed so tight that I was unable to get any sort of useful draw from it.
From other reviews I'm guessing this is more of a consistency issue than anything. Bit at the price point I've had better luck (or at least not as bad luck?) with other cigars.
Quite disappointed

Very mild. Little discernable flavour. Uneven draw. Not much to recommend to be honest.

Pity this has been discontinued as it was a very nice cigar. Good amount of smoke, good flavours, I got sweetness and cream and wood overtones towards the end. Paired it with a 10 year old Macallan sherry oak cask single malt.

The perfect introduction to Cuban Cigars
The Montecristo No.4 is one of the best selling cigars in the world, and for good reason. The catalyst for beginning a lifetime obsession with cigars for many, at the price point (currently around £20), you’d be hard pressed to find a better value Cuban in this vitola.
If anyone looking to try cigars for the first time comes to me asking for a recommendation, this will always be my first choice for them, almost always well constructed, with an impressively wide ranging flavour throughout the burn, without being full bodied. For me, Montecristo are the jewel in the crown of Cuban cigars, and the No.4 is the standard that all others should measure themselves against

I love cigars with a Mexican San Andres wrapper, especially combined with Nicaraguan binder and fillers. This cigar had a good taste from light up and I enjoyed the typical flavour notes you would expect from this blend of tobaccos. Unfortunately the construction let this cigar massively. I'm not sure if this is typical of this brand or if I was unlucky. The draw was slightly tight and the burn line was terrible. I had to correct the burn after every few draws. It was also trying to go out if I didn't smoke on it every 15 - 20 secs. I had to relight it fully again at one point. It is a pitty because it definitely had nice flavours but I give up before I reached the band. I will stick to the EP CARILLO La Historia from now on, it has the same tobacco combinations but slightly more prominent flavours and a perfect construction.
