Review Notes: Monty this, Monty that, "you never tried a Monty??" Well, I finally got around to getting one and the thing has all the pleasure of watching paint peel. Sure, its built very well with no lumber and a near perfect wrapper (for $10 per stick it better be) but thats about it. I actually found the regular Astral with the Ecuador wrapper to be superior in flavor to this dull smoke. It reminds me very much of a regular Macanudo which falls into the category of "old man cigars" for me. This is advertised as have the same flavor profile as a Cuban. All I gotta say is I am now in no rush to try one out if thats the case. Monty's just aren't for me.
