Meharis by Agio Red Orient Cigar - Pack of 10 by Josh

Cigarillo's are something I buy when I have little time to enjoy are larger Cigar, these little things are quite delightful, chocolate and vanilla aromas come off of this cigar quite a lot, which leads me to believe they are most likely infused with some kind of top dressing, when lit, the flavours are less like the aroma, much more earthy to start with, then as it goes down the sweetness starts to build and then you realize why they are called "Sweet Orient". I have about 15 minutes out of mine, as I tend to go slower, this keeps the smoke cool and more flavourful, while being quite mild, they have a bit of oil in there and leave that slick mouth feel that I actually like, not expected from a small machine made stick, but very nice indeed.

Montecristo Open Regata Cigar - 1 Single by Ian

Purchased as part of a Monty sampler and as with most of my cigars went into the humidor to settle for a month before I tried. I have to say, whilst I typically favour a 50 gauge or slightly larger, this 46 was a perfect late morning smoke- about 35 mins. The ash seemed reluctant to leave and I was well into the 2nd third before it departed. No real burn issues, slight sidedness but corrected quickly all on its own. Slight spice, no real ammonia, good flavours but a little kick and into the final third some very pleasing sweetness. I enjoyed the transitions though they were subtle, at least to my pallet. I'll happily purchase again, though some H. Ups. Magnum 50's are on my next purchase list.

Montecristo Open J Cigar - Box of 20 by Roger

I have just finished my first box of these cigars and ordered a replacement box of 20 from this website. Although there are various negative reviews of these cigars I have found them to be very enjoyable, and easily shared amongst my friends. A smooth, rich and complex set of tastes from beginning to end, I find these open juniors a very pleasant smoke, particularly after a meal.

Montecristo Open J Cigar - 1 Single by Edward

The general consensus of this range has been negative but smoked my with an open mind. Not a patch on the other cigars in the Montecristo range. Found the flavours a little bland and uninspiring. Having said that it was enjoyable and smoked very well. If your new to cigars then this would be a very pleasing introduction to this brand, which I feel was the factories initial intention! As far as this goes the brief has been more than such sucessfully fulfuilled! Not my favourite smoke by any strech but would happily smoke one again if given one for example, so cannot be that bad. I think people are disappointed as Montecristo have set themselves such high standards to live up to but dont be put of, this is still a good smoke, though maybe not for the pureist or people who enjoy a fuller, richer flavour (such as myself).

Montecristo Open Master Cigar - 1 Single by Seth

Great looking stick, with a fairly loose and easy draw. Earth and black pepper are the main flavours that starts to develop. The remainder of the cigar stays predominantly woody throughout. A light-ish and non-complex smoke.
