Montecristo Edmundo Cigar - 1 Single by Grant

The Montecristo Edmundo is a classic Cuban Robusto that delivers the brand’s signature balance and refinement. From the first light, it shows why it remains a favourite among aficionados. Construction & Burn This cigar is beautifully made — a firm, evenly packed roll with a smooth, slightly oily wrapper and a neatly finished triple cap. The draw is generally easy and the burn stays even throughout, producing a generous, clean smoke. Flavour Profile The flavor starts with soft cedar and a subtle earthy tobacco base, soon joined by creamy cocoa and a hint of sweet cedar sweetness. As the cigar progresses, those early notes give way to richer tones: dark cocoa or dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and gentle baking-spice undertones. Some smokers also detect walnut, cedar, and delicate nutty or woody nuances, particularly as the smoke deepens. Mid-way through, the smoke can offer a pleasant nuttiness or warm coffee-cedar mix, balanced by Montecristo’s hallmark smoothness. Toward the end, subtle spice or a slightly bitter cocoa note may emerge — but it remains well-controll

Montecristo Puritos Cigar - Pack of 5 by Tomasz

Nice little cigars I've ordered Romeo y Juliette witch had a very bad construction. This where much better tighter and very tasty I liked drag on them. That said I don't think puritos are not for me I prefer a bit longer smoke. If you looking for 10-15 light smoke they're quite good.

Mitchellero Novellini Cigar - 1 Single by ASHLEY

Since I purchased these previously the the construction has definitely improved. Excellent smoke, burns very well and has almost a Cuban-like taste.I was impressed with my previous comparison of the whole range, which seems to have undergone a construction and taste improvement. Impressive !!

Mitchellero Torcedor Cigar - 1 Single by Stuart

I had high hopes for the Mitchellero Torcedor, thinking it might become my new everyday smoke. I took it out of my cedar humidor about six hours before lighting up and it burned beautifully, lasted the perfect amount of time as advertised and started off really nicely. The first half was smooth, rich, and full of flavour, but by the second half it turned a bit too spicy and peppery for my personal taste. It’s still a very good cigar for the price, and I can see why people enjoy it. I’ve got another one resting in the humidor and plan to try it again soon to see if it was just this particular stick. For now, I’d call it a solid effort, but my favourite from the Mitchellero range is still the Robusto, that one’s tough to beat.

Montecristo Shorts Cigar - 1 Single by Shaun

I picked a couple of Montecristo Shorts expecting that classic Montecristo refinement in a quick, convenient format—but this one missed the mark for me. From the first light, the flavor came across a bit harsh, with a sharp edge that never really mellowed out. I was hoping for that creamy smoothness and balance Montecristo is known for, but instead, it leaned bitter and slightly acrid, even when I slowed down my draw. About halfway through, things went further downhill as the wrapper started to unravel. It’s frustrating when construction issues interrupt what little enjoyment you’re getting, especially from a brand with such a strong reputation. I tried to nurse it along, but the burn became uneven and the draw tightened up, making it more of a chore than a pleasure to finish. To be fair, the aroma had a pleasant woody note and there were glimpses of the signature Montecristo earthiness underneath the rough exterior—but they were fleeting. Overall, this cigar felt rushed and unrefined compared to their larger formats. Maybe I just got a bad stick, but for me, the Montecristo Sh

Mitchellero Sporty Cigar - 1 Single by Paul

Recently bought twelve of these as part of a flash sale humidor top-up. I generally prefer a robusto size but for the price these were good value for money. First cigar seemed a little harsh, but second cigar was very pleasant. Ideal as a smoke for pottering in the garden.
