I received this as part of a 'short but sweet' sampler & found it to be the tightest cigar I have ever encountered. The band came away as soon as I touched it & having toasted & lit the cigar it went downhill from there. Unsmokable, a very disappointing experience which I allowed to expire & disregard. Needless to say I shall not be purchasing again. I thoroughly enjoy the Montecristo Purito as a 10 minute 'beer garden' smoke & my experience of the 'Open Master' was delightful. Unless you enjoy trying to suck a golf ball through a hose pipe, buy something else...

There's a reason why Montecristo's have a formidable reputation when it comes to cigars. First time trying the No 2 and I'm completely sold. The draw on this was heavenly (straight cut). Burn is consistent as expected from Montecristo's. Construction flawless, and if that wasn't enough this stick produces some of the best flavours that one's palate can indulge: I got nutty and spicy notes with the last third slightly creamy. A must-try people, you will not regret it!

I opened a new box of Montecristo Petit Edmundo from 2013 and I just loved the beautiful oily wrapper and the look of the old band. A lot of people don’t like the old band because they feel that it looks ‘’cheap’’ but I love it because is a simple design.
Many cigar companies focus more on the decoration of their bands and boxes than on the quality of their cigars.
Some of the best cigars I ever smoked used simple bands and come inside simple boxes.
The cigar begins quite earthy as usual with a Montecristo, fresh herb notes and very smooth.
The flavour developed into a woody and black pepper taste but with a sweet smoke at the same time.
The cigar finishes with a full bodied strength, very rich earthy and herb taste with the classic Montecristo pepper notes.
This is a great sized cigar for 35-40 minutes smoke, which I found smother in comparison with other Montecristo sizes.
Perfect with an espresso or a dram of C.gars Cigar Malt after lunch.

Issue: Cigar Aficionado, Oct 01, 2016 - Score: 90. Rolled with a reddish, Colorado wrapper, this robusto has an easy draw and even burn. Rich notes of caramel and maple segue into pleasant chariness on the finish.
