Montecristo No.2 - 25 cigars

Product Review (submitted on January 24, 2020):

Picked up a box, CT was great with shipping. I really appreciated the Boveda packet they included in the shipment. Cigars arrived without any damage whatsoever.

THE CIGAR - Let these mellow a few weeks post travel in a very well kept humidor. NOT my first box. Really wanted to love these, but I’m seven deep into the box from various positions in the box and I can say with a high degree of certainty that these are NOT up to par with what we’ve all come to expect and enjoy from the Montecristo brand. Burn issues every time, five have had serious plugs smack in the last third which means there’s no “pushing past it” to enjoy the rest of the cigar. Maybe I got a bad box. It happens. Not fun when you shell out $300 (after shipping) for them. If they somehow improve I’ll update my review. I’m not here to complain or pout. This is a genuine, fair assessment thus far. As we all know, one or two duds can happen in a box. Seven duds in a row? Eesh. Likely won’t purchase again. Taste wise, they’re meh. I’d say light to medium with no change from first light to nub, if you can even stick with it that long. I do because I’m stubborn and these weren’t exactly a bargain. Giving them a 3 because they don’t have any splits in the wrappers and the color is pretty consistent throughout the box.
