Popular Post CptGoodTimes Posted April 6, 2020 Popular Post Posted April 6, 2020 G’day FOH. Today’s marque is the classic Montecristo Number 2 from April 2013. I bought a 3 pack of these last October & smoked 2 within first month after receiving. They were bland & forgettable. Soooo,,,,,let’s set out and see if we can catch lightening in a bottle & find some good times. The construction couldn’t get any better. Looks & feels superb. Aroma at cold is huge. I must have spent 15 minutes just taking in that cold aroma. Wow! Clipped the cap (not too far down), but just enough. Toasted the foot & I could tell right away that this one was going to be different than the prior two. 1/3: Like a thoroughbred launched out the gate, we had magnifico from the start. Salty, chocolate creaminess. I knew this was going to be a winning ride. Strength settled in at a solid medium. Oh that classic Montecristo aroma filled el patio. This torpedo produced massive plumes of smoke, with a tight burn to boot. 2/3: The saltiness lightened. Chocolate creaminess remained the Captain of this voyage. A tangy woodiness joined in just out on the edges. This lasted all the way through the second third. 3/3: The tangy chocolate creaminess faded away into the horizon, only to leave the woodiness at command. This wasn’t pleasant at all, so we ended the journey on a high note. Final thoughts: I’ve been searching for a Monte No2 that would show me why it’s such in high demand & finally. What a remarkable time. Only down side is I don’t have anymore of these. I give this an easy 96. Blow my hair back why don’t you. Even if the last bit went south on us. Till next time. Find your good times. Cheers, CptGoodTimes 8
JoeyBones777 Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 I had a similar experience with Monte 2. Somewhat inconsistent but when on it is one of the best out there. I smoked a 2012 stick back in 2017 for my 5th anniversary and it was the best cigar I've smoked to date. I have 1 more from that box that I am saving for my 10th anniversary. ? 1
