Montecristo No. 1 Cigar - 1 Single
by James
Once upon a time Montecristos were one of my favourite brands and I used to buy them in large quantity. With some trepidation I just tried a No.1 after years of not smoking them and unfortunately the trepidation was justified. The draw on this cigar was ridiculously tight and so the first two inches were really quite miserable. After that poor start things did improve though and there was 10-15 minutes worth of reasonable enjoyment when the draw normalised and the flavours calmed down to a mellow nuttiness. Nevertheless poor value for money if that really is representative of the brand now.

No idea what's up with this cigar. I tried one a couple of weeks ago and that had tight draw so I thought maybe it was a bad piece. Now bought another and the same problem. Disappointed as this cigar is supposed to be one of THE cigars to try. Poor CGars, really poor!

After giving these cigars two weeks to condition in my humidor I thought it was time to try the Belicoso and I was not disappointed. A very well constructed cigar with a great even burn with a white ash that didn't fall until near the end of the cigar and loads of smoke. When first lit I thought it gave me an earthy taste of grass and pepper that was followed with sweet dark chocolate and a creamy flavour mid way through. A lovely medium strength cigar that is a welcome addition to the humidor that can rival small Cuban cigars athe a very reasonable price.

I've had about 10 or more nice Cubans but this was
lovely smoke
Can someone tell me why bit after half way it tasted
salty as I really do not like that if their are any ways to prevent it
I was drinking red red wine 🍷 by ub40
Which is a very nice sweet wine I rarely find a wine that's nice yet alone one that is extremely compatible with an amazing cigar
first time ever re buying a cigar that's how nice The sweetness is
It was at Christmas when I had this cigar so am trying to remember
I think it tasted of vanilla and a sweet flavour
Then as I've said it got salty which was annoying as I didn't want to stop smoking the cigar/stick
Was honestly the most enjoyable smoke so far
I will say I need to learn not to smoke it so often as I've heard of others to smoke then wait for a minute or 2

A very mild to medium body cigar.,
Draw was very light, beautiful sheen on the wrapper minimal veins and superbly constructed if not however a little soft and under filled, burn was lovely and even.
Moist wood/forest earth aroma to the prelight wrapper with hints of cocoa , creamed expresso body with a nutty, earthy finish during the duration of the smoke.
Smoke frequently as the burn can tend to fade quickly, light draws keeps the cigar ticking over nicely without having to really stoke it up to obtain a flavourable aroma.
A good 40/50 minutes smoke
Brewed coffee makes a perfect combination!
