Montecristo Mini Cigarillos - Pack of 10
by Nathan
These cigarillos by Montecristo were quite enjoyable; however, they aren't close to the quality of a full gauge in terms of flavour profile. The taste is somewhat similar to a generic Hamlet cigarillo you would find in a corner shop (sad, but true). Not that Hamelets are the worst kind, but for those who want a Motecristo experience, these cigarillos don't quite compare to bigger cigars. Also, the craft of these cigarillos are beautiful in design: slim with a 8-12 minute smoke.

Not impressed as the wrapper came undone. Was cut perfectly well yet this still happened. Ruined the smoke for me.

Montecristo No. 5 Cigar - 1 Single
by Matthew
After a very dissapointing experience with the Montecristo No. 4 I thought I'd pull this out and give it a wirl. Straight away I noticed the cigar felt very tight like the No. 4. Lit it up and found the same very tight unsmokable draw. I have heard good things about these cigars but they seem to be rolled very tight and for me just unsmokable. A real shame. I will continue on in my experementing adventure :)

Montecristo No. 4 Cigar - 1 Single
by Matthew
Like others that have tried these, I found the draw to be extremely tight, to be honest it was just too tight to smoke and enjoy. Ended up wasting the entire cigar and lighting up a Cohiba :( shame

Montecristo Open J Cigar - 1 Single
by James
I don't have much to compare this to, but it was a very enjoyable smoke; lasting around 40-50 minutes. Fairly mild smooth smoke, not sure I could pick up much in the way of distinct flavours, except maybe some almonds (marzipan) about 2/3's in but that faded quite quickly and was replaced with straight tobacco taste.

Nice oily sheen on the wrapper, smelt quite strong and dark before lighting. Quite a tight draw. The first 3rd was strong dark coffee with not too much change. Second third, I got some cinnamon floral flavours mixed in with the strong coffee flavour. Final third became quite spicy and peppery whilst maintaining it's strength. Ash held well and was a nice white colour. Burn time was just over 40 minutes. This was only my 2nd real Monte having tried the number 4 and several packs of the lovely little puritos. Quite an enjoyable smoke which does not receive the full 5 stars due to it's slightly tight draw.
