Montecristo No. 5 Cigar - Box of 25
by Michael
Well it's quite simply a wonderful smoke.Construction and draw perfect and burn as near perfect as makes no difference,I just had to gently touch the wrapper down one side briefly after I lost the first ash.Fantastically cool and smooth smoking experience with a growing intensity of sweet and spicy as the cigar developed.Not terribly complex as you might expect for a 40 RG but as a go to everyday smoke when there's a spare 40 minutes to kick back with then these are very well worth it.

Has a really bad experience with the Cazadores, so i wasn't expecting much from this. I'm glad i wasn't. It wasn't as harsh as i'd feared, but it was totally plugged somewhere towards the head, so i had to cut it in the middle and smoke it from there. Found it to be almost just as unpleasant as the other cigar i've tried of this brand, and don't plan on trying them again.

As I am doing the rounds of tubed cigars, I highly recomend this cigar. Good flavor, not too strong. Great burn too. It lasted a hour+

I wasn't really pleased with this cigar. I've been working my way through the merevas from the major brands and this was nothing special. It started badly, but the final 3rd was OK. I wouldn’t buy another, yet I wouldn’t refuse one either.

I personally think that Chinchaleros are so underrated, but that's fine because they're so inexpensive.
Great cigar, lasted almost an hour and had a perfectly even burn most of the way through. The draw was slightly tight, but good enough.
One thing i've noticed with Chinchaleros in general is that once they're down to less than about an inch and a half, they become increasingly difficult to keep alight. Some nutters stop about there anyway, but i like to get as much as i can out of a cigar.
Overall, great cigar...Awesome for the price. I would still prefer the Chinchalero Chicos.

The cheapest cigar i've bought, yet one of the best. For less that two pounds, it's a bargain. A lovely 20-30 minute cigar. Due to the small gauge, it's high maintenance when it's lit.
