Monte 3

Why is this cigar not spoke of very often? I've never had it, but I'm curious on thoughts.

One of my favourites in the CC world. With 6/7 years they are so creamy and smooth they are a dream. Patience is needed though to get to that stage unless you get an older box (Reasonably easy to be fair). They are one of those cigars that I've found the uglier ones to taste the best lol

[jdo2110]

Thx for that. Would you recommend any others that maybe fly under the radar?

Sometimes, cigars that are under the radar are the best kept secrets. This being one of them.

Good cigars with age, and the right blend. When it comes to newer cigars, flash and "limited" availability tends to sell. Vitolas that have been in regular production tend to be ignored by many... until they get discontinued and become harder to find.

Had one from '05 the other day and it was good but not great. That has been my experience with aged Monty 3's.

Not under the radar here but outside of foh possibly; QDO corona, I could smoke those and monte 3 and nothing else and be a very happy guy

If you can find them the sancho panda molinos

The punch sabrosos Asia pacific RE is outstanding too, delicate and sweet with a core of berry fruits. Blows the big talk EL and RE from recent years away imo, but don't tell anyone! Shhhhh!

For me, they are a mixed bag - Had absolutely outstanding ones and totally boring ones. I have bought a grand total of 3 boxes (plus assorted 5ers and singles) over the last few years, smoked 2 of them, and sold the third box in disgust because they were so inconsistent. That's what people always say about Monte #4 and Monte #2 but I have had much better experiences with both of those so that's what I am buying.

I've been going through many 2012s and they are excellent.
