If this were a food it would be a decadent chocolate cake! I can’t give this cigar enough praise, stunning presentation, excellent construction, perfect draw. The dark obscuro wrapper promises, and delivers, a remarkably deep and intense smoke. There were veins and it did burn a little unevenly, however this didn’t detract from what was truly a delicious smoke, one that I burnt my fingers and lips trying to enjoy right to the bitter end. Flavours I detected were chocolate, wood, coffee, and a delicate whiskey aftertaste. It even had a somewhat peppery spice giving it a slight Cuban hint. Knocking off a star for uneven burn but other than that, a tremendous stick that I strongly urge you try!

Excellent cigar and one of my favourites. Smoke lasts about 45 minutes, with a slow but consistent draw. Band comes apart easily. Ash holds together well with a light to grey colour. The flavour is excellent and I would definitely recommend it. 4 stars only because I dont know what a 5 star cigar is.

I love these! Didn’t buy these from CGars, purchased from a local tobacconist, and they are amazing. Smoke with purpose, you’ll finish one in 15 mins, but smoke leisurely, and these can last you 25-30 mins! As others have said, despite being machine made, they look rustic, almost hand rolled. All the nutty, spicy flavours of a Cuban in a pocket sized pack. Give them a go!

Montecristo No. 4 Cigar - 1 Single
by Chris
Im relatively new to smoking cigars so keep that in mind when reading this review. I purchased a box of 5 and my first impression was that these cigars smell fantastic, very rich and chocolately. As for the construction the wrappers on at least 2 of the 5 are wrinkled in places and look like they could easily tear and seams are quite visible, the binder/filler look fine however all 5 cigars feel very firm, almost rock solid. The draw is incredibly tight and I found myself having to really fight to get a decent smoke output, which for me takes away from the experience. As a cigar newbie I found the flavours to be very pleasing to begin with, earthy and woody with hints of spice that become more prominent on the retrohale however the spice was never overwhelming and the smoke was silky smooth. Unfortunately I hit serious problems about half way into the cigar, the draw remained very tight and I had to relight twice in 10 minutes! When it went out for a 3rd time I admitted defeat and gave up. The 4 remaining cigars will go in my humidor to be aged, I really hope I have a better experien

Had this as part of the Jack Frost Sampler. I’m new to cigars but so far I find you can’t go too wrong with a Montecristo. The draw on this one, however, was a bit tough but it did become easier and I was rewarded with more defined flavours later in the smoke. Though enjoyable, this won’t be my go-to cigar as overall it was mostly mild, the cigar equivalent of a Latté, if you will.

Originally purchased this from the main shop in Liverpool as recommend by Evan.Very tasty enjoyable smoke.
With this in mind I ordered a further two more online along with a few other cigars. After receiving I noticed some green discolouration on one of the cigars. After emailing Liam (with images attached, including humidor readings which were fine) I was advised that this was just superficial and would not affect the overall experience of the smoke.
Unfortunately in my opinion the smoke for some reason was very different. The burn was not even at all, the cigar needed constant re-lighting, and the drag seemed poor. Now I don’t claim to be any sort of expert, however I have smoked a fair few cigars. This was definitely one of the worst.
Still tempted to try another No5 but perhaps from another supplier, although I will still purchase from here unless the issues Im having continue.
