I have a stroke so words are not easy for me. If you are new to cigars these are the best I also rich but love to smoke a good cigar. 40 minutes of bliss anytime of day from just after breakfast to just before bed.

Montecristo Petit No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single
by Samuel
Unfortunately I spoiled my first experience with the Petit No. 2 due to a slip of the hand during lighting which incinerated the wrapper and led to burn problems, but I had 3 more and so onwards and upwards.
My second experience however was divine, the first third was actually the best part of the whole cigar with a lovely creamy, buttery and spicy taste. Past the 2nd third these flavours made way and I got rich flavours of wood and nuts but with a mellow smoothness about them, never overpowering. in the 3/3 the signature buttery flavour showed it's face again in combination with a balanced and no nonesense rich Cuban tobacco taste. Simply superb.
I wish I could smoke these every day but my bank would strongly disagree.

Montecristo No. 5 Cigar - 1 Single
by Michael
For me this was a terrible smoke, construction and draw ok, but as for the taste there was not even a hint of sweetness, it was very harsh and tasted of bad strong burnt liquorice (I normally like liquorice) Anyway a double thumbs down Monte No.5

Montecristo No. 4 Cigar - 1 Single
by Samuel
After my previous bad experience with this cigar I decided to give it another go and I am so glad I did; what a cigar. Fantastic flavour with notes of wood, earth, spice, roasted notes and a distinctive tangy character with other flavours appearing throughout the smoke. A perfect burn all the way down with great smoke output. Simply superb.

I received this stick and as part of the tubed sampler. I found it a very smooth smoke with some nice flavours. The draw was good and my initial thought was the construction was too. Unfortunately the wrapper split about 1cm from band which was disappointing.

Montecristo No. 4 Cigar - 1 Single
by Samuel
I was quite disappointed with my cigar and was expecting more based on the reviews and status of this cigar. For the first inch I got a nice complex spicy flavour but after that the cigar started burning down the side and would not return to an even burn no matter how much I nursed it, nor would it stay lit. It had an extremely tight draw too. I ended up having to throw the second half away as it was too difficult an experience to enjoy. The cigar was dry boxed and checked for signs of being at the correct humidity before smoking as I do with all my cigars so that definitely wasn't the problem, all other cigars from the same humidor were fine. Must have received a bad one.
