cohiba Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Good morning to FOH! I am curious to find other members take on the Montecristo Sublimes. I have a box LPM JUN 08, i have had 3 from this box that were wind tunnels. Very little flavor or body to speak of. Many people are praising these as phenominal cigars! I would love to have that experience myself. I dont think these will improve with time ( at least my box ) and after checking the remaining few, they are all very soft and spongy. What do you guys think? What has been your experience so far? Are most of them underfilled that are out there? Have a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob25 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 That a shame. For the the price you pay for them you expect much more,sorry to hear you had a bad luck with them. I didn't smoke them yet but I was planning on puling the trigger in the next month so I hope its not a common issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandmanTR Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Just got a box of these. URO NOV 2008. Resting in the humi. I was going to fire one up on Saturday. I'll let you know. I hope it's not the same outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brutusthebuckeye Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I got a box back in 08...smoked 2 and the draw was way loose....i smoked another one maybe 2 months ago..it looked like it would be a wind tunnell but it was perfect!....Have you watched the Video Review that is on this site of the Monty Sublime?

Ken Gargett Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 the few i've smoked have been superb, placing them in the upper echelon of the limited editions. well worthy of the name and rep. that said, i do know that there has been a lot of varying opinions on this smoke. seems a great discrepancy between boxes. sadly, it seems you have one of the duds. this really should not happen but does, too often.

maverickdrinker Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I've had a few of these and haven't experienced any problems as of yet. In fact, had one last week and thought that it was smoking very well. Sorry to hear that you have had issues with these. Hope that your next one is better.

FireDigger Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Yep, the one I reviewed was also underfilled. See thread: http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/inde...showtopic=99486 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 They have suffered from underfilling as have a lot of 08 cigars. When they are properly rolled they are an excellent cigar. We hope that the current PE/HQ and PSP programs eliminate or vastly reduce this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hope that the current PE/HQ and PSP programs eliminate or vastly reduce this problem. Not only do the PSP, HQ and PR programs separate Czar from the other vendors I also think it puts them ahead of the game I wouldnt be all surprised if other vendors try to piggy back on this concept down the road It truly is one of the main reasons people speak very highly of Czar and its staff, I **** you not Bart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangaroo495 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I bought a single once. It was completely under filled and I was devastated! Decided there was no point risking it again, as the price is too high. Though, I might have to try one from Czar's, as the boys are giving it great reviews. PS: Smoked a Cuaba Distinguido last night. It was so under-filled that I could literally flatten the head to the width of a piece of paper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thechenman Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I love this cigar. Have smoked many from several boxes. Not had a plug or wind tunnel yet. Hope my luck holds out. Sorry to hear about your box, although...I wouldn't give up on the EL yet. Try another box from Czar...have Rob select and PSP, HQ or even PE box for you.

SandmanTR Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I'm very happy to report that the PE Monty Sublimes from the Czar were perfect all the way thru. No tunneling. Perfect even burn with no touch-ups needed. Great flavors. Can't wait to what they are like in about another 6 months!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiLo Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I feel as though a lot of them were under filled and it looks like the trend hasn't changed. I recently sampled the new 2010 EL's and both the partagas and the monte were very under filled. They also seem to have a much more seco leaf in them and that makes them feel very very light and makes them seem even more under filled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigaraholic Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I have 2 boxes of Sublimes and after people started complaining about them being under-filled I put mine on the scale. We're use to weighing things before we smoke them in N. California. Rob gave me the published weight, 17.5 gr and of the 20, 4 were under, 2 were spot on and the other 14 were over. 21.2 gr was the heaviest and 15.5 gr was the lightest, quite a swing. I did smoke the lightweight and the flavor was excellent but the cigar only lasted 1 hr, about the same time I need for a Mag 48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
