investandprosper Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Let me start by saying that this box of Monte 2s is exquisite. The wrappers are dark, and the cigars are very aromatic. For being just over a year old, they are doing very well. I'm just hoping the second half eventually shows up Aroma at cold: Sweet Cuban tobacco, milk chocolate. Draw: After clipping the cap, I am met with a perfect draw. Resistance is just right. The first third opens with milk coffee. It is a very smooth cigar, with an aroma of rich milk chocolate. Body is right at medium. Plenty of smoke with every draw, and it hits the ground running! The richness intensifies in the second third. Sweet cream and milk chocolate work their way to the forefront. This cigar is intensely aromatic, it smells like rich Cuban tobacco with waves of chocolate. At several points I just sit and savor the aroma. The wrapper requires a few touch ups, but nothing major. Body is medium-full. Getting into the final third, chocolate really dominates here, in both taste and aroma. The strength picks up to full, and I have to put it down before I reach the band. What a flavorful cigar! I've smoked two of the cigars from this box, and both have been exceptional. This is what a Monte 2 should be like. A great cigar for a leisurely afternoon. If you love chocolatey cigars, be sure to pick up an HQ box of these. I'm normally a huge Bolivar fan, but these Monte 2s are absolutely stunning. If more Montes are like this, I foresee a love triangle in my future

ramon_cojones Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 You don't seem to be finished with the last third, here I'll finish it up for you
headstand Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Wow, that wrapper is fine looking. Mine taste great, but they would be the ugly sister to your beauties.
cigarroverzulu Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 That looks nice and fat, brown, and tasty...how I like my women!!!Oh yeah
thechenman Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Great review John, and that Montecristo 2 looks spectacular. They sound as good as they look. Good luck with the 2nd half of that shipment coming through.
Vortigan Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 That is a beautiful looking thing!!! And a mouth watering review!
investandprosper Posted June 9, 2011 Author Posted June 9, 2011 That is a beautiful looking thing!!! And a mouth watering review! Reading over this review makes me want to have another For those who don't like the PSP/HQ system, I agree with Rob. More for the rest of us I've had a few run-of-the-mill Monte 2s, which were rolled too tight and didn't have the right wrapper or aroma .... it's just not worth it. You get what you pay for.
Guest leanderdsilva Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 I just a bought a couple of boxes of Monte 2s..I hope I enjoy them as much as you did
