Montecristo No. 3 Cigar - 1 Single by Tim

Great cigar! Flavours come out more after the first third I found. Also better with coffee than the Rioja I started smoking it with.

Chinchalero Picadillos Cigar - 1 Single by arthur

I have happily made a return to cigars after a 15 year absence and ordered a few samplers,this being one of them. A good solid example, which took a bit of keeping flowing to begin with, needing a litle effort to maintain a decent draw, but once past the initial first inch, it gained in flavour and I really enjoyed it. Not too strong but full of flavour throughout. For the price I strongly recommend it and will certainly order more.

Diplomaticos No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single by MATTHEW

Like an earlier reviewer I was curious to see how these torpedo's compared to the Montecristo 2. Its fair to say I was surprised at the results as historically Diplomaticos were produced as low cost "copies" of the Montecristo line (the irony being that they are produced in significantly smaller numbers and are now very sought after in the "aged" market). A great cigar full of rich and complex flavours, well manufactured with an easy draw and consistent burn. And if you dont have time for the 2 the Dip 4 comes highly recommended.

Cohiba Robustos Cigar - 1 Single by MATTHEW

Like many before me this was my first venture into Cuban cigars and I was not put off by its full, spicy flavour. Its fair to say that as Robusto's go its a yardstick to measure by but in recent years I have noticed a slight increase in construction inconsistencies, in particular tight rolls and the odd plug and at this price point (and with the brands reputation) this needs addressing. When all is said and done a good Cohiba Robusto is very very good .... worth comparing with the Partagas Serie D No.4 and the new Montecristo Open Master.

Montecristo Edmundo Cigar - Box of 25 by MATTHEW

Duncan's review tempted me to comment on the Edmundo. In my humble opinion it is one of the finest cigars Montecristo has ever produced .... but as many have already suggested it needs time to mature. Straight of a new box they give little in terms of flavour .... time in the humidor improves taste and burn dramatically and a little experimentation leads me to suggest that 20c and 70% are the magic numbers. Two years in they are fabulous ...
