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.

I love this little cigar, very well built and a perfect draw. I was not expecting the flavour to be so complex on this one but I was greeted with a delicious sweetness with notes of dark chocolate and coffee that progressed to a well rounded sweet spiciness with hints of in the last half, a very rich yet smooth and palatable smoke. Perfect as a daily smoke with a mid day coffee.

I have smoked 5 and found that 4 drew well and smoked evenly. No need for a powerful suck as they smoke fairly well. Flavour is average. My smoking environment is a large warm wooden chalet. After smoke aroma in chalet is less appealing than with Romeo's etc.

This is my first Davidoff cigar and what an impressive little smoke it was too. Certainly picked up the earthy taste at the start with slight notes of liquorice then it settled into a smooth and pleasing floral character. Towards the end the strength ramped up and more of a leather taste came through and smoked it down to the nub. Perfect construction with no burn issues and the ash dropped off in three solid chunks. I am impressed!
