RijkdeGooier Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Dippys are Monte light to me. Not the same depth and complexity a good Monte delivers in any of the vitolas. 1998 Monte2 are some of the best cigars I've smoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 My experiences could be purely psychological but I know in the past I've had better luck with Diplomatico regarding consistency. A good Monte 2 is a great cigar, I've had a few boring ones though. They seem to have sorted this out in the last few years. I find Diplomaticos, unlike Montecristo, can have a bit of citrus to them.

TheMonk Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Like the Dip 2, but a good Monte 2 is just better, IMO. Construction wise, haven't had any issues with the Monte 2 lately, so that's my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 ...being the curmudgeon that I am, I will go with Diplomatico #1...! What relevance it has to this thread, little or none, but I have been known to get away with it! -the Pig! Ray, save me one the next time I land over there! Can I vote both? A great Monte 2 is like nothing else, but the Dip 2 has that cinnamon, nutmeg and sourdough goodness which I love and is generally more consistent.

I will put it next to Rob's Partagas Lonsdale. No, I will move yours out of the sun! -Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypots Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Good Monte 2 is a thing of beauty. I did a blind cigar taste pass a few years ago. Each participant sent out a cigar to the others and we reviewed and guessed the cigar. I sent out a '06 Monte 2. Everyone loved, and I mean loved, it. Never had such a great pyramid. Let a good looking box rest a few years and they are great cigars. The Dip 2, IMHO, not so much, though I haven't had too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpyigit Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Sentiments are similar here. Can not resist a good MC2 but my dollar goes to Dippy 2 with it's consistency / reliability.. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyfwil Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Kind of a tough choice. When they are on, Monte wins hands down for me. When they are on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potpest Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Neither, I'd have a P2 or an Upmann instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I've never had a Monte 2 that was on so the Dip wins by default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesNYC Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I voted the MC2s, but that is probably because I have had many more MC2s and have always (almost always) enjoyed them. I've had only @ 10 Dip 2s, but I must say that I have enjoyed them very much. In fact, I just bought a box from our host a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skalls Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I'm not through a box of either yet. But the Diplo 2s seem to be more consistent. They don't hit the highs that a Monte 2 can, but they've never hit the lows a Monte 2 can either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
