Loved this one. Nice 40 minute smoke with lots of flavour took my time as I normally smoke only lighter cigars needed to spike it through with a wooden skewer as it was a bit juicy but it didnt put me off like some cheaper smokes. Will be buying more.

Montecristo No. 2 Cigar - Pack of 3
by Anthony
My first time trying the No2, i usually smoke the No3 or 4, this is without doubt the best cuban cigar Ive had to date. Bit pricey buying the pack of 3 but worth every penny when you smoke it.
Definitely recommend

Montecristo Linea 1935 Dumas
It’s not often that you get to try an entirely new cigar, especially one from a range as hotly anticipated as the Linea 1935. I am a fan of Montecristo in general and as I have matured as a cigar smoker, I have always found myself relying on the old stalwarts like the No2. Having tried the Open series and enjoyed them, but not ‘loved’ them, I was really looking forward to a chance to smoke a Linea 1935.
I ordered two of each of the Leylanda and Dumas and they were delivered a couple of weeks ago, by the team at CGars. I would normally put my cigars away in the humidor for at least 6 months before I smoke them, but the anticipation was killing me and I was unable to wait that long. I picked a Dumas, as this is the size closest in size to a robusto, my favoured smoke.
Construction is almost as good as it ever gets, a truly lovely wrapper, nut brown but with with an oily sheen and some darker depth to it. The cap was beautifully constructed and almost looks seamless from a distance, but when you get close you can see real precision to the workmans

If this were a food it would be a decadent chocolate cake! I can’t give this cigar enough praise, stunning presentation, excellent construction, perfect draw. The dark obscuro wrapper promises, and delivers, a remarkably deep and intense smoke. There were veins and it did burn a little unevenly, however this didn’t detract from what was truly a delicious smoke, one that I burnt my fingers and lips trying to enjoy right to the bitter end. Flavours I detected were chocolate, wood, coffee, and a delicate whiskey aftertaste. It even had a somewhat peppery spice giving it a slight Cuban hint. Knocking off a star for uneven burn but other than that, a tremendous stick that I strongly urge you try!

Excellent cigar and one of my favourites. Smoke lasts about 45 minutes, with a slow but consistent draw. Band comes apart easily. Ash holds together well with a light to grey colour. The flavour is excellent and I would definitely recommend it. 4 stars only because I dont know what a 5 star cigar is.

Montecristo No. 4 Cigar - 1 Single
by Chris
Im relatively new to smoking cigars so keep that in mind when reading this review. I purchased a box of 5 and my first impression was that these cigars smell fantastic, very rich and chocolately. As for the construction the wrappers on at least 2 of the 5 are wrinkled in places and look like they could easily tear and seams are quite visible, the binder/filler look fine however all 5 cigars feel very firm, almost rock solid. The draw is incredibly tight and I found myself having to really fight to get a decent smoke output, which for me takes away from the experience. As a cigar newbie I found the flavours to be very pleasing to begin with, earthy and woody with hints of spice that become more prominent on the retrohale however the spice was never overwhelming and the smoke was silky smooth. Unfortunately I hit serious problems about half way into the cigar, the draw remained very tight and I had to relight twice in 10 minutes! When it went out for a 3rd time I admitted defeat and gave up. The 4 remaining cigars will go in my humidor to be aged, I really hope I have a better experien
