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!

Montecristo Petit No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single by Jason

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.

Montecristo Media Corona Cigar - 1 Single by Chris

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.

Montecristo Media Corona Cigar - 1 Single by Shanker

First time smoking this cigar, and it was.. OK. The construction of this cigar is great so no problems there, completed this in about 25 minutes, only ashed out twice and pared this with some coffee in the morning. For me though it lacked in flavour, I mainly picked up some sharp pepper on the lips that faded quickly, a slight grass and hay aroma, and a very flat earthly tobacco throughout, not much change. My only gripe with this cigar unfortunately was that moments after finishing it my mouth felt very dry, almost like drinking gin and tonic and having that overall dry sensation, which I didn;t expect. I personally wouldn't pick this up again, but i think if was aged for a few weeks or months maybe some flavours could of matured

Montecristo No. 5 Cigar - 1 Single by Mark

I must admit this was a little disappointing. It started out really well and had a mature, spicy taste but about halfway down became rather tight and difficult to draw. It also started to burn unevenly and I had to relight a couple of times. By no means unpleasant, but not as nice as I had hoped for. I am sure I will give it another go in future but I have plenty on my wishlist to try in the meantime.

Montecristo Double Edmundo Cigar - 1 Single by Paul

Just layed this cigar to rest and it certainly didn't disappoint, great construction, about 1 hour smoke, medium leathery earthy taste, would defiantly get this cigar again.
