Montecristo Body / Strength

[Colt45]

I recently smoked my last M2 (circa 2005) from a batch I had in the humidor for about five years. It was on the darker side - earthy, very dark

roasted coffee, strong-ish, with a prominent ligero cone for it's duration - much like it's brethren.

I've not smoked every cigar in the line, but generally speaking this is how I find the marque to be overall.

It made me think about some of the initial discussions on the Open Series, where a few members mentioned that they felt that Montecristi are

"mild" enough already. So not including the Open Series, I'm wondering how members consider Montecristo overall in terms of body / strength.

Medium, I'd say.

It might even be The Medium I compare other marcas to.

For me:

Medium strength, but fuller bodied - a rich texture to the smoke (especially as the smoke starts to warm)

[El Presidente]

Monte 2's specifically for me can be from Mild-Medium to Medium-full in strength. Medium is the norm.

[Chicago]

Medium to medium full compared to the others but I've never had a strong Monte. They have a certain "twang" to them that is characterisitc of the brand. Like a good single malt that has that vanilla flavor to it. Flavorful and medium bodied. I've also had some real mild losers as well especially in the number 2.
