Review Notes: One of my favoritve sizes of one of the top cigars. Full bodied and even of wood and earth with just a pinch of tartness (it was a very fresh box, should round out after a tour in the humidor). I can see why this is the benchmark for others to follow or compare to. I would make it one of my two boxes back from Cuba.

Review Notes: Top of the line Cuban cigar. Construction, Taste, Draw, and Burn are absolutely perfect. You couldn't ask for any more. If you can get em, smoke em!!!!!!!

Review Notes: I got lucky during a business trip to Nashville. During a shopping spree at a mall next to the Conference center, I noticed a small kiosk that had a few good brands of cigars. It was funny. Here I'm looking for Opus Xs which I heard were easily found in Nashville and all of a sudden, the proprietor shows me two boxes (5 each) of Cuban No 2s. One box was counterfeit, the other the "real thing." Guess which one I bought? This cigar by far was the best thrill I ever experienced when it came to cigar. I found the No. 2 quite strong! With a wrapper that was a little on the dry side. However, the taste, which was complex at best, was so alluring that I couldn't define it if I tried. All I know, that it satisfied every possible fantasy I ever had in smoking a "real" Cubano. What was funny, was that I was smoking it outside of a first rate hotel in Nashville. One of the attendants outside of the lobby "stated," he had just smelled the best cigar in his life. I just laughed. Got four more, which I will only smoke during special occasions.

Review Notes: Medium-dark wrapper. Good draw. Full-flavoured. Progressively more powerful toward finish. Stood up to old Single Malt Scotch nicely.

Review Notes: A benchmark in the cigar world. This cigar opens with a traditional Montecristo earthy twang and mellows with notes of coffee and oodles of fresh cream. It really is always a blissful smoke. I'd never burnt my fingers till i'd smoked one of these, for they get better and better with every draw, I can never bring myself to let them go out.
