GotaCohiba Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Anyone else smoked any of these that were sold in November? Maybe it’s just me, but dang are they tasty 1

JohnS Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 I went for a quarter box of MEL May 2017 Montecristo No.2 last August and have been similarly satisfied with the two or three I've had in the meantime. It sounds like the whole box has been great (for you so far). You just have to be grateful for our host's diligence in separating (mastercases for) quality Montecristo No.2. I've had my ordinary ones, like many of us, but when they are on, they can be so 'heavenly'! 1

TBird55 Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 That's great to hear. I have a box, with that code, sleeping in my locker. This makes me wonder how long I should let them sleep.
GranToro Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 It may have been the November 26th 24:24 marked as clearance. They were supposed to be *mostly MEL May 17 but, I recived the same LGR Jun 17 and was slightly bummed not to get the MEL's. Most of my Upmanns are MELs and gorgeous. Glad to hear the LGR's are smoking great! Cant wait for some decent weather to try them. Thanks for the feedback!

Diabolicalpherpher Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 I have a UBM JUL 17 from a Hand picked offer from October. When I first had it, it reminded me of the H Upmann #2 instead. I thought that they mixed up the tobacco and kinda disappointed in the box. But subsequent sticks have the typical montecristo flavors. My favorite box code for montecristo #2 is RAU 16
Santiago Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 My first from a recent 24.24 UER JUL 17 the other day was solid!
GotaCohiba Posted February 7, 2018 Author Posted February 7, 2018 24:24 LGR Monte 2’s Thanks to El Prezidente for tonight’s potential connection with more of these

shadowACE Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 I too snagged a clearance box from the November 24:24. Amazing specimens for what I consider an unbelievable price. So happy I picked up a box. The two I have smoked so far have been flawless. Sent from my SM-G935W8 using Tapatalk 1

NSXCIGAR Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 I've had nothing but good luck with 16 & 17 Monte 2s. IMO, they're the most consistent as they've ever been right now. Much more similar to the 1, 3 & 4 than they've ever been IMO. Not that I've been blown away by any--most have come in around 92 points for me. But I am smoking then regularly and I can't recall when I've done that in the last decade.

Glad to see that I’m not the only one Not stellar, but consistently good
prodigy Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 So u can only age for 6 months in the locker ? Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkNo, 6 months is the minimum they have to be in there. You can't put them in and then decide a month later you want them. No maximum time. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk 1
