This has become my stock/bench Mark cigar. Good value, good flavour. When non cigar smokers want to try one, this is what I recommend. I ensure I always have a couple of these laying around. However, having smoked around 10 of these, I would say that 2 of them have had burning problems. One was recoverable with a bit of managing, the other I decided to cut before halfway and start again. Ended up chucking it. Have ordered more since though.

Picked up a nearly full box of these in Spain from a friend who found them too mild. After 5 weeks in the humi, tried the first one. The construction is good, though loosely packed. I suggest the price reflects this low density. There is nothing offensive in this cigar and if that sounds like faint praise, it is. Its ok, but lacks interest. I would choose an Edmundo over this, every time.

Fabulous Small Cigars, great for winter in the UK when its too cold to sit outside for any length of time.
Medium to Full flavours, around 20/30 minutes of real pleasure!
Im about to stock up and buy another 5 boxes!

My previous review of the Petit Edmundo was severe! That sensation of trying to draw on a stub of tarry rope was durable. Yet my esteemed follow of Kicas (Kingsbarns Cigar Appreciation Society) was unfazed, he remains a dogged devotee of the Pet Ed. So, thinks I, either Johnny boy has no tastebuds - possible, in view of his unstinting persuit of Italian waitresses, preferably tattooed, preferably named Magda, or the Pet Eds reviewed were simply a bad batch. Johnnys oddities apart, we found ourselves in Davidoffs around midnight in Monte Carlo the other evening, perusing the humidor stock. (If you were thinking of robbing the place, I wouldnt: the night staff look quite ready to repel boarders.) Thats not a public school joke. Nor a reference to Russians. To cut it short, J. chose a Pet Ed. in that relentless way of his, which I ended up smoking for him (to repay him for smoking MY R&J Short Churchill), on practically the same Monaco balcony as the last time. The main difference was that this Pet Ed. was a very fine smoke, with none of the harshness, draw issues, or burn problems repo

Montecristo Open J Tubed Cigar - 1 Single
by Patrick
This cigar was very tight to draw and left a very bitter taste on the lips and in the mouth. For me it was tangy and very metallic in the mouth and had a light ammonia smell to it. I had to give up a third of the way through as it began to taste of ash, (likely due to the tight draw). This was my first experience of the Montecristo range. I will not be venturing further.

Great Cigar and just as the description in the tasting notes, I thoroughly enjoyed with an espresso in the afternoon. No issues at all with the draw, in fact it burned a tad to fast but not noticible enough to ruin the smoke, nice creamy white plumes of smoke and a leathery slightly peppery aftertaste, particularly in the final third. Excellent value.
