Not a big fan of New World cigars however this one is lovely, a real 'desert' cigar with lots of dark chocolate and sweet spice. Always a very light and airy draw so helps to take it easy so as not to overheat it. Looks a bit rough to the eye but never judge a cigar by its wrapper, very consistent, will have a few of these in the humidor when I fancy something a bit sweeter.

Until now my opinion of Montecristo cigars was somewhat negative. I'd tried a couple but with bad results. The first was a "tubed," no. 4 which I smoked only half of and then left because I didn't enjoy it whatsoever, maybe it was a dud.The second was from the "Open," range and again I wasn't impressed at all so it was with trepidation that I approached this cigar. It was, however, third time lucky. Right from the start I knew this was something special. Wonderful mellow flavours that only a Cuban can provide. In the past I'd tried the H. Uppmann version but this is the "real deal." Could become my cigar of choice. Thoroughly recommended. I must now try the Petit Edmundo though.

Oh dear. I really wanted to like this and it to be a nice smoke after reading the reviews. However, I found it rather tasteless and it burnt really unevenly. It also made me dizzy! Perhaps I should stick to mild cigars.

Big fan of Davidoff. First third quite sweet if a little dull. Second third gets more spice and a big uplift in character. Last third is by far the best. Worth I try, I'm guessing you will love it or hate it.

Montecristo Media Corona Cigar - 1 Single
by Shanker
First time smoking this cigar, and it was.. OK. The construction of this cigar is great so no problems there, completed this in about 25 minutes, only ashed out twice and pared this with some coffee in the morning. For me though it lacked in flavour, I mainly picked up some sharp pepper on the lips that faded quickly, a slight grass and hay aroma, and a very flat earthly tobacco throughout, not much change. My only gripe with this cigar unfortunately was that moments after finishing it my mouth felt very dry, almost like drinking gin and tonic and having that overall dry sensation, which I didn;t expect. I personally wouldn't pick this up again, but i think if was aged for a few weeks or months maybe some flavours could of matured

A tremendous cigar! Scarcely believable at the price!
