Review Notes: After 3 sticks this is my favorite cuban. Way smoother than a Siglo VI and just seemed to be perfect in the flavor department. No contruction or burn problems with mine, I am now an avid Montecristo fan.

Review Notes: Well made and a giant blur of complexity. Got a box from Europe and I plan to get another. What a sweet, complete Cuban. Way to go Montecristo!

Review Notes: What a great cigar. I got this thinking, 'what's so special about these cubans'. This cigar was very good. Full flavor, nice constructions, doesn't leave a bad taste in your mouth the next day. The burn was a little inconsistence, but ok. This stick lasted and lasted, great all the way through.

Review Notes: Very supple cigar that lights instantly, and burns voluptiously. I swear the smoke is as fragrant as the cigar tastes. I would characterize it as a mild-medium smoke with immense body: the flavor is elegant, but rich, densem and envelopes your taste buds. A flawless silky draw. Vanilla, cream, and nutty in flavor which develops more to leather towards the end. Be careful with storing/transporting these as the wrapper is very sensitive.

Review Notes: Box from GKI 2004, only 5 sticks left now. What a great smoke. Smooth draw giving mouthfuls of creamy, flavorful medium bodied smoke. Great aroma. An hour and a half of relaxation and enjoyment. Great cigar, that like most every habanos I have smoked, they have a life of their own. This one can, if you are lucky, smoke thick and rich, full bodied when right out of the box 3 or 4 months from production date, then go dull for awhile and after 2 years from production they blossom back to a mellower, more refinded smoothness. For those newer to the delights of smoking good cigars, you have to learn what you like and to catch your cigars when they are in your "stage". Don't waste them when they are not. Means only one thing: You gotta keep procurring! *These and all habanos have grown more expensive since 2004... (For fuller body try Bolivar Belicoso Finos.)
