ksblazer Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 For Cheap & Chearful I've been enjoying the Partagas CE's and the H.Upmann Regalias but would like to add another in my C&C rotation. What do you guys think about the recent PL Montecarlos? or Thanks to those that reply and I look forward to your responses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick17 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I had one a few weeks ago now it wasn't all that bad it had an EXTREMELY tight draw until I decided to cut about a half inch off of my original cut after that it wasn't bad in terms of flavors it could have been better but for the price it was a decent smoke hope this helps Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPS Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 07's and 08's are great. I haven't cracked my 09's yet. Excellent smoke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobKincaid Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 07's and 08's are great. I haven't cracked my 09's yet. Excellent smoke! Are they long filler? Totalamente a mano? I've seen some conflicting information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anacostiakat Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I had never gotten them before. So I got a box. I am maybe a little more than half way through it. I have enjoyed them a lot. I think I might have had one that I had problems with and pitched. The rest have all been very enjoyable. I just got another box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I have a box from March 2010 and they look and smell good but I just haven't had the heart to smoke one yet - they seem so young and innocent still I wanted to wait until they are a year old but I don't think I can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maron76 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 They are a great smoke. I have yet to get bad one and I am almost done with box #2. both boxes are URG MAY 10 (think it's URG). Thet are helping me get my daily Cuban fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstarrs Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 These are on my pick up list for sure. They seem like great value and a lot of you guys seem to talk them up quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg1234 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I split a couple of EMA NOV 08 boxes with the fellas recently and the results were unanimous: they did not impress. I have 4 left that I'm afraid to try. Obviously I will try another Montecarlo eventually, but Round 1 left much to be desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBL Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I have a box from '10 that has been really enjoyable. They're sweet and mild and a great daily smoke. Good construction for such a thin cigar as well. Still contemplating whether I should just burn through the box or save half of it to age for a while.

docbp87 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 So I take it that these smoke better younger than the PLPC, which by all accounts seems to benefit a good deal from... a good deal of age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aavkk Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Montecarlos from 05 are smoking great and the 07's are damn tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hohenthal Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Tried a few, 07, 08, all very good - however the one that impressed me most was an early 2010 (Feb. or March): the sweetest Quality, on par with a good Rey del Mundo Demi Tasse.

ajgagnon Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Love these... they can use a few months to take off the edge but they're fantastic after that. Sweet, rich, and flavourful. I think I really like the narrow gauge but you need to be careful not to draw too strongly all at once or they can heat up (same with all panatelas). I have enjoyed most of a box over the last year whenever I had a few minutes to spare and wanted a good experience. Great on the stoop after work, while gardening and working in the garage.

Lotusguy Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Been rapidly smoking through my box mentioned somewhere above and they are great. They can definitely hold a candle to many sticks that I would not call C&C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstarrs Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'll have to grab some of these to check out, seems everybody has something positive to say about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backslide Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I've been on the fence for awhile. I'll most defiantly pick up a box after reading the good reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg1234 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Update: I have tried another 2 Montecarlos since my last post on this thread. They seem to get a little better each time, but there are many other sticks I will reach for before I buy another box of these. I am glad to see most of you been enjoying yours more than I have mine.
