Montecristo No. 4 Cigar - 1 Single
by David
Ah! the good old monty no 4,cant go far wrong with this one, a great smoke after a good hearty meal, you've just poured yourself a nice clean bottle of pale or golden real ale, and got yourself comfortable in your favourite armchair, and what's that in the background(silence), perfect!, sit back and chill with this rather tasty spicy little number, with oodles and oodles of rich smoke to tantalise your taste buds. Beautiful

Montecristo Petit Tubos Cigar - 1 Single
by Joshua
I found this cigar to be very well constructed, easy to light and experienced no issues keeping it alight. This coupled with an excellent draw and plenty of smoke made it a trouble free experience, but not one I'd personally go for again. This cigar came with a reputation of consistency, and in this instance I found that to be a bit of a handicap, finding the smoke somewhat uninspiring, with little excitement, but then I suppose that does come hand in hand with consistency, however! All in all, a good, well built smoke, but not the most exciting.

WOW, really enjoyed this one, (if you read my review on the Sancho Belicosos you probably said , "theres no pleaseing this guy" ) well this one is now going to be one of my regulars.
Excellent flavor, lightly spicy(not overbearing,would say its a light side medium), definately some cocoa and expresso hints in here that made it a pleasure to taste, and was never to rough through out the whole smoke (down to the nub)medium spicyness on finish.
Burn was nice and even and at a good pace, aroma is a tad stronger but pleasing. Smoke production was PERFECT!
If you want a 35-45 minute smoke that you want some flavor but don't want you eyes bugging out when you finish. Its good with literally anything from bottled water to a fine burgundy or Scotch. (mine was with a plain coffee and was great, second one was with a glass of ice water and lemon....again great) then definately worth buying a couple to try.

I recieved one of these in a gift box and when I first lit it, I can't say I really enjoyed it. I must of had a dud, or it probably tunnelled, because I cut the burning end off (shun!) and went back to it the next day, lit it up, and WOW. All of the flavours kicked in and completely brought my mouth to life! My stick must have been a dud, as I'm sure they are normally fantastic. All in all, great Cuban cigar for beginners.

I'm new to the whole cigar smoking experience and thought I would give these a try as a cheap alternative to a good size montecristo. I found that they heat up very quickly and the smoke can become somewhat harsh. A peppery and leather taste throughout with little change. I don't think I will smoke these cigarillos again as they don't compare to the real thing.
