My first impressions of this cigar are quite good: Construction was solid, burn was even, draw was open and I could puff away at a slow pace without it going out on me. As far as the flavours were concerned it had that classic Cuban profile and the unmistakable Montecristo flavours, although it wasnt quite as full on as the regular No. 2. Very creamy from start to finish with very mild hints of spice and almonds although I agree with the review from Scott that the cigar actually seems to get blander as it progressed. In my limited experience most cigars start to wake up in the second or final third but not so with the Petit No. 2. This isnt necessarily a bad thing since the flavours were very enjoyable, but it did leave me feeling like I wanted a little bit more out of the cigar.
I think the smoking time of 30-45 minutes is pretty accurate provided youre the kind of person who will smoke down to the nub and doesnt mind the smoke getting a little hot. While it was an enjoyable 45 minute smoke, the fact that the cigar didnt really seem to develop beyond the first light loses it poi

What a great cigar! Its very similar in size and price to the Henri Wintermans but I must say, this is a much nicer smoke. First of all, the cigar is a little bit bigger than the half corona, the flavour is absolutely exquisite and it lasts for a decent amount of time (between 25 minutes to half an hour Ive found before it becomes too hot and starts to fall apart). One of the most satisfying things about this cigar is the amount of smoke it gives off. Highly recommended

Not a bad product for the price. It has a nice weight to it I thought. The blade is nice and sharp. It does the job. You might struggle to use it on a 50+ ring gauge cigar.

Sadly disappointed, this stick came as part of my subscription.
When unwrapping the cigar wrapper had a hole in it the size of half a 5p! This ruined the draw completely. Duff stick I presume.
Thats 2 cigars I have had now as part of my subscription which have been disappointing interms of their build quality.
The red version however was a different matter all together. Well constructed and burnt well, razor like ash throughout.
A nice gentle flavour that didnt really alter throughout the whole cigar. Very pleasant on a warm evening with a coffee.
Pity about the blue version.

Bought as a comparison to Montecristo #4.
Lit easily, good draw but not too much smoke. Steady burn, no canoeing & ash dropped every 2 inches or so.
I’ve enjoyed a few now with a Bushmills whiskey out in the garden taking them right down to the nub in a little over an hour.
Not the most aromatic or satisfying cigar I’ve had but compares very favourably to the Montecristo but at 2/3 the price.
Very happy I ordered a box of 20.

This is a damn good cigar. Burns well, holds together till the last draw and the price for such quality is unbelievable when compared to other mote expensive brands. Just became a fan!
