asmith Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 After demanding this review for the last three years we have finally done it. Now with a cigar of this length you would think they would have done all three sections but no. http://youtu.be/XEWUyzTjWgg 1
braveheart655 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Now I can see whom Ken's role model is Thanks guys.
Ken Gargett Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 smithy, you are never happy!! great cigar. loved it. and did go and grab another cigar to follow - a 2000 LE partagas pyramide as had some mates over later. something about eyes bigger than lungs, springs to mind.
Edwhatever Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Hooray!!! I knew I couldn't sleep for a reason. So I got out of bed and checked FOH first thing...tada!
El Presidente Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Great cigar and a great afternoon. Thanks ken! Well done Smithy on the editing as well. It is never easy.

David67 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Never had the Montecristo A, always wanted to. Whish they had a 50 ring guage 47 just seems so thin for something so very long. But then again I've never had them.
ritan Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 I'll take the second sampler, please. Never had the MC-A but I've recently revisited the MC Especial and just received a box from Diana. They taste gorgeous and I wonder how these compare.
Puros Y Vino Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Well done Rob and Ken! :clap: I've smoked one last summer. Very enjoyable cigar for such a monster. Great sampler too. Too bad there wasn't more. Now on to your next venture gents. Cuaba Diademas or Punch Diademas Extra?
CanuckSARTech Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 LOL. Great review guys. Ron de Jeremy. Ken: "Firmer side, but workable" And a lot of talk about nuts. LOL.

jlacava88 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Whoops!.. looks like they've been all claimed.. I missed that... enjoy to those who got them!
MnMWC Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Great review... can't wait to find the time to try these. That bottle of rum looked.... empty by the last third:)... Any final thoughts?
sharks Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Great review gentleman. Only smoked one Monte A and it was great! But as mentioned just finding the time to smoke it was abit daunting. Will be purchasing a 5 box in the future to age in the humidor so when time permits they will be there. Always bit abit wary of ths skinnies though with being abit to tight compared to the larger guages and especially with the length of the Monte A. But will certainely give it a go again
Ken Gargett Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 on the rum? i still think it is not a bad rum at all. not top shelf for me but good enough that you can sip it straight or with ice (or a smidge of water if you prefer) and that is a sign of a decent rum. the cigar? a cracker. rob's tech ability? don't ask.
CanuckSARTech Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Ken, I've got an aged Cuaba Diadema for you when we meet in Havana this November!
Ken Gargett Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 i had a 'mate' who lived next door years ago. discovered that when i was away, he was helping himself to my smokes (his excuse was that he thought they were only worth about 50c each - quite why that made stealing from a mate okay i am not certain, but he was a strange bloke. would borrow a few bucks to buy milk for their baby and would have cut off an arm rather than not repay it, yet would waste most of his income on sports betting - at which he was hopeless). he pinched one of my cuaba diademas (think i have a few other somewhere) and threw up everywhere. was sick as a dog for a day or two. not a lot of sympathy.
dangolf18 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 So true, if I get a plugged stick (1/20 smokes for me), it's usually plugged around the band. So frustrating, but then again, I rarely get a plugged smoke and it's usually a DC. Nice review!
Bolismoker Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Great review. Well worth the wait. I'd love to try a M-A, but for the life of me I can't remember when I've had the time to smoke one.
davidsan Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I've been saving the single Monte A I have in my humidor in anticipation of this review. Going to pick up a nice bottle of Rum & enjoy the Monte on Anzac day public holiday. Can't wait. Great review fella's
zmancbr Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I love this cigar. They truly shine with a bit of age on them and represent the marca well. I have a box of 01s that are killer!
