Monte®

3.9★★★★★3.9· 22 ratingsMedium-Full

Though its name is short and succinct, the MONTE is a cigar with a wealth of complexity and depth. The MONTE’s signature feature is the inclusion of two binders: a spicy Dominican Olor combined with a strong and aromatic Nicaraguan Corojo which adds strength, firmness and complexity. This brand-new offering from the Grupo de Maestros is the most robust Montecristo yet, putting a revolutionary twist on a revered classic. The two binders couple seamlessly with aged Dominican filler and an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper to create an unforgettable experience. Montecristo is one of the most iconic brands in the world. Each premium cigar in the long line of Montecristos is a distinguished and enduring smoke. The MONTE is unquestionably a cigar worthy of upholding this legendary mantle.

    All in all a very good cigar. I had the fortune to have this, a white, and a classic - classic seems more complex and full flavor, the white much smoother, I think I'd choose either over the monte. I wouldn't turn one down by any means though

    Good start. Even burn until about 2/3 of the stick. Mild to medium. Hot finish.
