Montecristo Edmundo Cigar - 1 Single
by Staff
Reviewed by Stuart Dixon (December 2005)
Last June (2004), whilst working in York, I tracked down the local cigar emporium in the centre of town. This small and well-stocked tobacconist provided 30-minutes worth of "Ooohs" and "Ahhs" as I pressed my nose against the glass door of the walk-in humidor.
I decided immediately upon seeing them that one of the (then) newly-released Montecristo Edmundo's should grace my humidor with its presence, and so picked out the best example.
Substantial in girth, the cigar is dressed in a mid-brown, sheeny wrapper. Solid the entire length, there is a certain toothiness about it, veins evident from top to bottom, and it's double-capped.
It is excellently balanced and feels exceptional in the hand. On the nose, there is leather and fruit, and some pepper to the lips.
It is altogether a very good-looking cigar.
I did read that the cigar was a tad "green" back in the summer of 04 and that it required between 6 months and 3 years to age. I put this single onto the bottom shelf of the humidor and tried to forget about it.

Montecristo Edmundo Cigar - 1 Single
by Jason
My last Cristo was a Petit No.2 which I loved. Surprisingly the Edmundo I am smoking as we speak is falling way short of the Petit No.2. The main taste sensation I am experiencing is very very sweet and one dimensional. he burn of the first half was erratic enough to be annoying. A one off? I don't know.If this is a fair comparison of the two then count me in for the Petit No.2 every time. Disappointing considering all of the glowing reviews and the fact that the Edmundo is about £2 more expensive!

Pretty much perfect little 40 minutes of enjoyment. Nice strength, no bitterness, enough complexity to make it a grown ups cigar. This is definitely going on my favourites list from now on in. Would thoroughly recommend.

Quite simply a lovely cigar to enjoy during summer nights.
Delivery was just as great. Ordered and delivered within 2 days.

Montecristo Petit Tubos Cigar - 1 Single
by Krisztian
This is by far my favorite cigar. I'd get a box of 50 if I could afford it! I'm no expert on cigars but I have tried a few and I have not had a better tasting cigar than this one, I will keep coming back to it.

Until now my opinion of Montecristo cigars was somewhat negative. I'd tried a couple but with bad results. The first was a "tubed," no. 4 which I smoked only half of and then left because I didn't enjoy it whatsoever, maybe it was a dud.The second was from the "Open," range and again I wasn't impressed at all so it was with trepidation that I approached this cigar. It was, however, third time lucky. Right from the start I knew this was something special. Wonderful mellow flavours that only a Cuban can provide. In the past I'd tried the H. Uppmann version but this is the "real deal." Could become my cigar of choice. Thoroughly recommended. I must now try the Petit Edmundo though.
