subport Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I'm working on 2 boxes at the moment. OSR MAR 12 and MER JUL 13. the '12 box is out of this planet. unbelievable good. to be honest I have never seen that dark and oily wrapper on Monte 4 before. and funny enough that I bought it blind at a German airport ( Berlin maybe?) in 2012 the 13 box is lot lighter in color but good too. it will be way better a year after. I like it best around the 2 yrs mark. but that is just me and really figured it out lately 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how much it can improve with more aging, but these are wonderful every time I smoke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWC Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Working my way through a box of AGT Jun '11 that are really, really good. Interesting... I've smoked thru a box of AGT Ago'11 and they were very mediocre. I have a second box put away, hoping the Plume Pixies will come and visit and turn them in to something special. Maybe I just don't have a taste for Monty's. I know, that's probably heresy to some folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallclub Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Maybe I just don't have a taste for Monty's. I know, that's probably heresy to some folks. Saying that one doesn't like Montecristo falls within the personal experience; saying that they're not good, that would be heresy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subport Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I also have MER JUL 13 box. It's an HQ box from El Prez, and I have smoked several from this box. I don't know how much it can improve with more aging, but these are wonderful every time I smoke. Same here. Mer jul box is from Rob hq rated. Still I wish it could just go close to my 12 box. That is so unreal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susanne Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 The MUL ENE14 seems to be a banner month for production... I have (had?) 2 boxes (now just one left) that were HQ's and they were, and are, both spectacularly awesome... had I known I would have limited my credit card! :-) Then again - it's nice to have someone poke their nose into the box ahead of time so you know you're getting cane sugar, not splenda... :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shlomo Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 You all do realize that box codes are virtually meaningless for most (possibly even all) of the cigars out there right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 POU was certainly a benchmark Monte 4 run (POU CORO, R&J E4 + a few others as well) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonedpirate Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 BUM FEB 14 - The only unsmokable cigar I have ever had. Literally, that bad. Avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soutso Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Ok. I'm going to confuse things a little. Received a box PUA FEB14 only three weeks ago. I purchased from the international site. I opened the box with much anticipation. Upon opening I felt a greatly disappointed. No oily wrappers, some of the feet were split. No detectable aroma. I know I should wait for a month but I can't help myself and lit one anyway. I just loved it. It went against anything I've learned to look out for. I made a point of inviting a mate over who pretty much only smokes Monte 4s. He calls a spade a spade so to speak and he loved it too. For all the knowledge we acquire, there's always a stick that goes against the theories involved in picking a great box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbandz Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 theories are nice,it always comes down to smoking the stick. I have had good luck with off color and unevenly colored cigars,I will always reach for one with a mottled wrapper first............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikek Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Monte#4 is one of my go to cigars I have one I'm almost done with from 2012 that was excellent,I bought two from our host 2014,the darkest oiliest wrapper's I have ever seen.The next box I open look's great July 2013 I have smoked one about A month ago very good! Personaly I think they keep changing these box codes up just trying to confuse people! HA HA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subport Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 BUM FEB 14 - The only unsmokable cigar I have ever had. Literally, that bad. Avoid. I love Monte 4 best around the 2 years mark. Feb 14 is way to fresh. Wait with it a year and revisit. You will be surprised. Then wait another one the you have great smokes. Btw I have Upmann magnum 50 BUM ENE 14. Psp. Nothing else. Brilliant. All in all a cigar (good or bad) does not depending on a single box code stamped on the box. It is said that one box of cigar could be filled by 25 different rollers...so...
