Montecristo Open Regata Cigar - 1 Single by Daniel

This was a really enjoyable cigar. Good size for the money, lasted around 50 minutes. It burned well and had a smooth, mild woody taste.

My Father Flor De Las Antillas - Robusto Cigar - 1 Single by Thomas

Great start, creamy, nutty and sweet with that distinct Nicaraguan taste. Half way it got bitter, the draw was very loose and I think it caused the cigar to burn too hot. I bit down on the head to restrict the airflow which helped keep the flavour. It was pleasant but nothing really special. Would I buy another? No, for me non Cubans are always missing that tangy cuban taste, and without it, a cigar just doesn't satisfy me the same way. For £12/13 you can get diplomaticos and bolivar lonsdales, bolivar Royal corona, Ramon specially selected, Trinidad coloniales, Vegas robaina familiares, the list goes on... So to summarise, nice, but not nice enough to choose it over Cubans in the same price range. If you are bored of Cubans and want something different, it's worth a try.

Montecristo No. 5 Cigar - 1 Single by alexandru

Decent 35-40 mins smoke. Consistent and most of the time even burn. However I found it too strong for my taste. Leathery and spicy, tasted a bit like dark chocolate paired with a tawny port. Unfortunately the draw was tight, especially the last inch or so. Because of that became a bit hot and harsh. I will not buy again as I prefer milder cigars but if go past the tight draw it makes a good smoke.

Montecristo No. 4 Cigar - 1 Single by Alan

Quite a good smoke but made my head spin (hence the 2 ) . Prefer R & J Cedros de luxe No 3

Montecristo Media Corona Cigar - 1 Single by Staff

The Montecristo Media Corona (Half Corona) has now arrived and of course, we had to sample this one as well. This size is becoming more and more popular since we first saw the H. Upmann Half Corona and this really does show you why. Fantastic little smokes for when time is short, plenty of classic Montecristo flavours and just look at those wrappers! Medium in strength, this cigar is perfect for a breakfast smoke with a nice cup of coffee. Of course, they are also sporting the new Montecristo band, which is subtly different but still a vast improvement.

Montecristo Edmundo Cigar - 1 Single by Henning

Absolutely lovely smoke. Perfect construction and very good draw. Plenty of smoke and complex flavours throughout. Be aware of the interesting spicy kick in the last inch.
