Montecristo Monte

Description

For those who want to see the full MONTE!

With a name that’s short and sweet, this savvy, sophisticated cigar turns tradition on its head by employing not one, but two binders for an added dose of depth. The end result is robust, complex, and flavorful, leaving you with a highly memorable experience that’s a cut above the rest. A mix of aged Dominican long-fillers are cradled by a Dominican and a Nicaraguan Corojo binder, adding a touch of spice. It’s all bundled up inside an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. And coming from Montecristo, one of the most well-known cigar brands in the entire friggin’ universe, it’s no wonder this is one helluva tasty experience. Have a great time with Montecristo MONTE.

Montecristo Monte already caught the eye of critics, earning a 93-rating in the process. Here's what they had to say: "The cigar has plenty of leather and spice on the palate, with a note of chocolate on the finish. It’s a delicious new take on a celebrated old cigar brand."

Good flavor, but an uneven smoke and they invariably put themselves out before finishing

Cigar fit for a King!! If you've never heard of Grupo de Maestros- this is a great way to be introduced to their stellar blending.

This was an amazing deal. It was 80 percent off for these cigars. Arrived in a few days per rush order. It was neatly packaged and I plan on saving them for a long time. Monte Cristo No. 2 is a work of art.

Burn,draw and construction were good. The size makes it a quicker sit back and relax. I prefer Churchills for a long relaxed smoke with a drink on my deck. But these are perfect for a shorter time. Montecristo is 1 of my favorite cigars>

I've known this cigar to be a very good medium to full bodied slow burning smoke in the past. It still proves to be a quality cigar with plenty of flavor notes. Sweet dry fruit and roasted nuts come and go throughout the entire smoke. An even burn and firm but not tight draw is a characteristic of the Monte and these did not disappoint.

Some were 4. 5. Some were terrible With super tight rolling. Some burned well for 5/8ths the length and were unlightable the rest of the length.

This is a great cigar. The rapper is a dark brown, oily superbly done. It’s the kind of cigar that you want to have when you just want to kick back and enjoy the day. Monte Cristo‘s have always been one of my favorites and it continues to be.

Decent construction but if you don't draw on it constantly it goes out ( 30 seconds ) also a bit of a bitter bite throughout not consistent with a full-bodied cigar, more like cheap tobacco.

One serious cigar. I remember smoking these when they first came out; loved them then,love 'em now. A little pricey, but if you catch them on sale,grab them. Leathery with touches of chocolate with the perfect amount of strength. The draw was a bit firm, but very workable. Great with an aged Rum.

My top favorite. . . . . . . . BUT, this batch is like arm wrestling. So far, five out of eight are unsmokable. Hard, tightly-packed, near impossible to draw, and won't stay lit. I kept them at 69% humidity along with other cigars that smoke perfectly. I've tried coring them (nothing but filler comes out), recutting the caps, setting them out for a day before smoking, gentle squeezing, and more. "Deals" at CI I have found, are their way of unloading bad batches.

I’ve always thought Monte made some good smokes. I’ve only been disappointed in their mild offerings. This one has some beef. It did burn unevenly and had some draw issues, but maybe I got that one bad one out of the bunch. I did enjoy the flavor, and for the price I would say this is a nice toro to have in the box.

An average stick by Montecristo. Nothing above and beyond here. Beautiful oily havano wrapper with nice burn. Not a big flavor transition. Base finish of oak and cedar with a touch of cinnamon on the retrohale. Good smoke.

This cigar is consistently top notch. Balanced favors and strength with a little more spice than your average Monte. Excellent draw with great smoke output. I will keep coming back to this one, for sure!
