Review Notes: This would be one of my favorites but the two that i smoked both had a major draw problem. Very hard to draw. Flavor was great and the cigar had a wonderful appearance. Very pricy for a cigar that it beat by numerious none cubans (Litto Gomez Diez, Pardon 1926 aniv., San Cristabol to name a few). If the draw had not been tight this would have been one of the best. Pray you don't get one (in my case two) with draw problems becasue if you don't you will be happy with this cigar.

Review Notes: Unbeleivable! The quality is apparent from the first touch to the last tasty draw (I used a roach clip).

Review Notes: Great draw; even burn; extra short finish; flavorful; would be worth it at twice the price!

Review Notes: The Monte #2 is one of my favorites. It never lets me down. The draw is excellent and the flavor is full of nuts, spice, leather, and earthly notes. I visited a construction site to provide some safety consulting and the superintendent hooked me up with a #2. He had a humidor in his desk so it was well stored. I smoked it in my garage under my 3-foot tall propane heater and enjoyed ever minute of the smoke.

Review Notes: The Montecristo #2 has always been the cigar that all others are judged and when ever i am out of the country I try to smoke as many as possible, after all of this time they still do it right. The wrapper and construction is flawless. the taste at light up has a citrus with a hint of cedar . as you work in to about the 1/3 the nutty overtones start to make an appearance. halfway a coffee with cream taste comes out. the final third is somewhat of a religious experiance. the coffee, hazelnut, and cedar make you stop everything and just enjoy this true work of art. The nice light ash stays on about a third of the way.
