Popular Post ChanceSchmerr Posted November 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2021 hahahahahahahaha I guessed Monte 4 on cigar No.1 because I got all these sour notes that I hate in a cigar, that I get all the time for Montecristo (which is why I avoid Montes). WRONG. For No.2, I absolutely loved the cigar's first half, delicious punchy flavour. Had to be anything but a Monte 4. But since I was so sure (and so wrong) with No.1, I guessed the opposite of what I would have normally guessed for No.2, and went with Monte 4 again. RIGHT. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas.Alpha Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 The worst Monte #4 I’ve ever had, but I had a similar experience with one from a good box about 6 months ago. I put the lack of flavor down to COVID. Ah well, 1/1. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I was thrown off by how dark the wrapper was (never had a Monte 4 that dark), and a weird gasoline almond nut taste. Almost like a fresh can of paint. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azksig Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I must have had one from a good box. It was really enjoyable with coco powder and chocolate. Even burn with no touch ups. 90/91 for me. The wrappers were almost identical to a box of Monte tubos I have. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that matters is i'm beating you... im 2/2 ... i would say bow to me, but you're already pretty low to the ground. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meklown Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Pretty good chances assuming 1. It's not a BPC 2. Box press wasn't faked 3. It's not one of the more "obscure" PC/marevas (ryj/hoyo/etc) Leaves a toss up between monte 4 and rgpc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like a Hobbit calling a Dwarf short. (dwarves are taller, by the way) I'll have you know, in the land of the Hobbits, the 5'4" tall man is king. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDB Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Well, Monte is one of the most distinctive profiles, and mine certainly was very true to it. The huge wildcard in these blind tastings is the high level of variation between cigars. There’s a big range between and within boxes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBirdman Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I will say that I was initially thrown off by the wrapper, it was one of the most rosato monte's I've ever seen. Luck of the draw will matter more with a Monte 4 than just about any other smoke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Diggamus Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I got this wrong. Even though I got the chocolate/cocoa notes all the way through, I was convinced it was an RGPC because of the earth notes and hint of banana. @El Presidente Will you reveal year and/or box codes for these? I would mind hunting a box, the flavors were amazing in my sample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bijan Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I was 60/40 Monte 4 vs RGPC after smoking it (though I was pretty sure it was a Monte 4 until halfway through when the flavours changed), but in the video review, @El Presidente said 9/10 members would get it right, so I knew it wasn't RGPC, because maybe half the members have never smoked an RGPC, so how would 9/10 get that right. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read my "magical mystery stick" review, I described my experience with #2 (literally and figuratively) to point. I had a couple Monte 4 from a PSP box that performed that way. This one started cocoa powder then immediately turned to pepper and newspaper with a wonky burn. I literally though I had COVID, as it was almost tasteless. That's why I went RGPC. I've never had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CptGoodTimes Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Again, pegged this one on aroma at the lighting. Am I an obscure one for enjoying aromas of different marcas as much as flavors? 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeng Don Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I loved the Smoke, Robust and Flavor..... Smoked slow you get some old Barn corner dust and old leather gloves, smoked outside you get a chilled cuba night breeze with chocolate, cream here n there These were Trained Mustang Monte 4 assassins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
