How have the Monte #2's been in the 10ct boxes?

I'm not sure but I got some steamrolling my way.

I hope to know soon.

I have a box from early '06 with about 6 of them left. Smoking fine in terms of construction but they still need more time in the humidor. Of the 4 I've smoked from the box, 1 had draw problems but the rest were just fine.

You really can't go wrong. I say pick up a box and let it rest for a little while. You'll be happy.

If you mean versus a box of 25, there should be no difference, in blend,

construction, etc. If I recall correctly some discussions we've had here, the

cigars are not rolled with final packaging in mind.

There was a time when some felt the cabinet version of a cigar was superior to

the same cigar in a dress box - I don't have the breadth of experience to give a

valid opinion on that matter.

I understand that the blend should all be the same and I understand this is kind of a remedial question but I've bought some #2's before from 15ct boxes and they paled in comparison to others from full boxes. I guess it was just bad luck. I don't know why I would think that these would be that way but I've always been a glasses 1/2 empty kind of guy. Guess I was just looking to hear from some people who have the 10ct boxes that they were as good as I've been hearing just for my own paranoid peace of mind. I guess there is only one way to find out huh.

Olotti, here is a thread on cardboard packs, it may shed a little light:

I've only smoked Montecristo No.5 from five packs, and thankfully had no problems.

Remember, always look on the bright side of life!

I have always wondered about this. Good link.

They are the same as the 25 Ct box no differance go ahead and get them and enjoy them.

They have been yummy just like the 25 ct boxes.:-D

I received a 25 ct box with PUT 06 code , and I think almost

half the box was plugged with tight draws. I've heard there have

been some construction issues, but this was disheartening.:-|

I have a 10ct box OSE MAY06 that are mediocre... not very good.

I have a box of ten from early 05. They were not too spectacular at first but with time became jewels. This is pretty much my experience with all Monte's though, let them sleep
