Ive slowly been trying numerous cigars (from very expensive and large to small) from various websites sampler selections for some time and have finally settled on these.The length of smoke suits my once in a while on a warm summers night by the fire approach and they often get smoked over 2 nights which is great.I won't go into the notes and flavours of these or any other cigars as I think it's a bit ott to describe some of the notes that people feel they need to attach to the experience of what is essentially a ton of tobacco.Lets just say that like any cigar you can get good and bad ones on the draw but they taste as good as any I've tried.They are up there with the usual suspects from Cuba. I think ultimately we we all need to find a brand to stick with and these are mine.

These are my favourite everyday smoke, I found them to be sweet tasting and easy to smoke. They do however get hot if you rush them so allow a good half an hour to smoke these and they go nicely with some rich Italian coffee. I wouldn't recommend them for your first smoke though, my first every cigar was a Romeo y Julieta no 3 which are not too overwhelming for a first time smoke in my opinion.

After having issues with my humidity analogue, I turned to these to see what the hype was all about. Happy to say they are literally magic! Would 100% recommend!

The draw was very tight from the start and I feared the worst. I wrestled with it until it won. Lost count of the number times I had to relight it and nurse it along. Eventually it became plugged. The flavour and aroma was pleasant but not much of an improvement over machine made Puritos costing considerably less. Overall one star for the cigar and one star for cgarsltd excellent customer service. Would not buy again.

I was lucky enough to receive one of these as a gift. I loved it great burn, good amounts of grey/white ash but even before lighting it it feels like its going to be a great cigar, it smells like a great cigar, then you fire it up and get cool mouthfuls of creamy smoke with a slightly spicy taste and a long finish. I highly recommend buying, or preferably getting some one to give you, one of these.

Not sure if it's the change to BST. But something's keeping me awake. The unwritten rule I have is "if awake for an hour might as well get up". In this case also means might as well have a smoke.
A lot in the humidor at the moment and I have a few options, but standing out is the lone Monte #2.
It's been there a while but for some reason has remained unmolested.
Shortly after relighting I am reminded why I always claim this is my favourite cigar.
Lighting is easy and then it just become like the king wenceslass Carol. "clean and crisp and even"
Smokes like a non fussed trooper to half way when it takes on a slightly perfumed note to the last third at which point it takes on the trade mark full Monte flavour and really starts to sing.
Make no mistake this is a king of all cigars.
To put it in context, there are ten cohiba esplendidos in the humidor at the moment and this is better than any of them.
