Montecristo No.5 - 10 cigars [4.0" x 40]
The taste of this little one is almost like his bigger brothers.
- • Full of flavor and very spicy yet creamy.
- • It also has a very earthy taste. It is a heavy cigar but never becomes unpleasant.
The trick is to smoke it slowly. Then it doesn’t get hot and you can enjoy this stick for about an hour.

A great No. 5 to rival a No. 4!

I'm usually a Monte #4 kind of guy, but received a few of these in sampler packs lately. This specific cigar rested in my humidor for over a year. The verdict: AWESOME.
The wrapper had a few blemishes, but true to Montecristo form, it smoked wonderfully and delicious. The first 1/4 inch was bitter, as expected, then it turned smooth and creamy and kept an ember easily. I think the resting really let it cure, as it smoked easily and smoothly all the way to the last inch, when it started having a hard time staying warm and got a little spicy. I almost chose a #4 tonight, but am so pleased with my choice of the #5.
Thanks again to CT for a quality shipment! -

Everybody has their own taste and wishes about cigars that is why there must be hundreds of different cigar types. I am not here to judge anyone,I like them because they are smooth and short and they go well with my Chivas.
Cheers guys,life is short,enjoy it. -

By Jay - I enjoyed my first box that I just received about 2 weeks ago, I smoke one as soon as I opened the box, even though I should have waited 2 weeks. Overall I'm very satisfied. I wish the ring gauge was 50. For my next order I'll get a 50 ring gauge.
