Review Notes: What do you say about this cigar that the other 257 reviews have not said? I love this taste, the creamy notes with the consistant draw. The cigar burns great, but I did have to relight once....I won't hold it against it. The construction is fantastic, with the ash not dropping to the last 1/3rd. Besides the H Upmann Magnum...you won't find a more consistant stick!

Review Notes: This and the Partagas Lusitania Habana are my two favorite smokes. These #2's are what every maker should strive for -- full easy draw, huge smoke, consistently complex mellow flavor without harshness or off tastes, satisfying to the very end. One of the best medium body/flavor smokes there is. Worth every penny, and then some.

Review Notes: I've always enjoyed the flavor of this cigar but the consistency just isn't there when young. This particular cigar I'm smoking has about a year of age on it and it's the best from this box I've had yet. It lit right up and has burned perfectly. A lot of creamy smoke in a full bodied cigar. The main knock on this cigar is that quality can be spotty and it really needs at least a year of age to come into it's own. I've found a nice alternative to be the Diplomaticos #2 which may not be as complex but still tastes great with better construction and consistency. The Dip may get better with age but it's ready to smoke now.

Review Notes: I have been smoking these cigars for years. But sometime a few years ago the quality of the cigars fell. Even aged they were not as good as the used to be. My recent smokes have been nearly perfect. The cigars have been aged for at least two years and I smoke them in the late afternoon or evening after a meal. The Montecristo #2 is a full bodied cigar with dominant flavors of earth and cedar. It is spicy and this flavor increases down to the finish. The cigar has a rich texture and a perfect draw. It can on occasion burn irregularly but is a joy to smoke. This cigar is a must have in your humidor. Age the cigars if you have the patients for the best smoking experience.

Review Notes: This was my first real #2, after a few fakes I finally got a 3-pack from a friend and wow what a truly fine cigar. Now I know what all the rage is for this smoke. This could truly be one of my top 5 smokes. The construction was very good, excellent burn and ash, wonderful flavors, very well balanced. It also had a perfect draw. One of the best.
