When theyre good they are very good indeed, but they seem to have a real issue with quality control with them. It is extremely rare to get a pack where all 5 cigars are up to standard, and i have indeed had packs where all 5 were of poor quality... but, like i said, when theyre good they are excellent.

Montecristo Open J Tubed Cigar - 1 Single
by Patrick
This cigar was very tight to draw and left a very bitter taste on the lips and in the mouth. For me it was tangy and very metallic in the mouth and had a light ammonia smell to it. I had to give up a third of the way through as it began to taste of ash, (likely due to the tight draw). This was my first experience of the Montecristo range. I will not be venturing further.

Great Cigar and just as the description in the tasting notes, I thoroughly enjoyed with an espresso in the afternoon. No issues at all with the draw, in fact it burned a tad to fast but not noticible enough to ruin the smoke, nice creamy white plumes of smoke and a leathery slightly peppery aftertaste, particularly in the final third. Excellent value.

Loved this one. Nice 40 minute smoke with lots of flavour took my time as I normally smoke only lighter cigars needed to spike it through with a wooden skewer as it was a bit juicy but it didnt put me off like some cheaper smokes. Will be buying more.

Montecristo No. 2 Cigar - Pack of 3
by Anthony
My first time trying the No2, i usually smoke the No3 or 4, this is without doubt the best cuban cigar Ive had to date. Bit pricey buying the pack of 3 but worth every penny when you smoke it.
Definitely recommend

Montecristo Linea 1935 Dumas
It’s not often that you get to try an entirely new cigar, especially one from a range as hotly anticipated as the Linea 1935. I am a fan of Montecristo in general and as I have matured as a cigar smoker, I have always found myself relying on the old stalwarts like the No2. Having tried the Open series and enjoyed them, but not ‘loved’ them, I was really looking forward to a chance to smoke a Linea 1935.
I ordered two of each of the Leylanda and Dumas and they were delivered a couple of weeks ago, by the team at CGars. I would normally put my cigars away in the humidor for at least 6 months before I smoke them, but the anticipation was killing me and I was unable to wait that long. I picked a Dumas, as this is the size closest in size to a robusto, my favoured smoke.
Construction is almost as good as it ever gets, a truly lovely wrapper, nut brown but with with an oily sheen and some darker depth to it. The cap was beautifully constructed and almost looks seamless from a distance, but when you get close you can see real precision to the workmans
