Wait a minute...after all that has been brought to light, this can't be a box of Montecristo Especial!  (The now discontinued) Vegueros Especiales No. 1, perhaps?

As I noted, I think it's possible that the existence of the Vegueros Especiales No. 1 and the Davidoff No. 1 got into MRN's head and threw him off when mistakenly adding the "No. 1" the name of the Monte Especial. Judging by how long it took for the error to be identified (even Alex missed it when inputting the original info into CCW), it is an understandable oversight for MRN to make. Just a slight lapse of attention and confusion with two very similar cigars.

His first edition wasn't without some slight errors either. Unfortunately, as the third edition masterwork comes 15 years after the second ed. and was just about in the printing stage late last year I believe. it may ultimately stand uncorrected for all time in MRN. The only person who has any contact with MRN is Nino, so perhaps he sees this thread and can pass it along to him to hopefully update the third edition if it isn't printed yet. It's very possible it's still unfinalized as the scope of the third edition is monumental by any standard and will contain about 5 times more content than the second edition.

I'm pleased that I get some things right about cigars, but one never stops learning.
