johnvndonut Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Has anyone ever heard of a montecristo vitola: Amatista? Cubano or dominican.... I have come across someone claiming to sell that vitola as a Cuban cigar. I know that Amatista usually refers to the old storage jars factory sealed, but these Monte stciks use the name as a size/shape description.

tigger Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I seem to recall that a very large mail order/retail business in North Carolina, USA was selling a number of General Cigar brands in an "Amatista" format recently. Last I knew, the NC Monte brand wasn't part of the General stable, but who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigger you are correct. I saw the add myself, but I don't think they were selling Montes in the Amatista container. Several other marcas under General Cigar, but not Montes...

maalouly Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 They lookd fake to me, they seem to be different sizes and ringage, plus I wasn't aware of a Mote French release, again perhaps I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree...they look like a fake conde 109 w/ a RR band on them. Those little bastards our quite crafty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PigFish Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I have only smoked the Upmann Amatistas. I smoked 3 over the last week as a matter of fact. -Piggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laficion Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hi smll2, I can only confirm that there is no and never has been, a RE Montecristo, Amatistas France release, for 2009 or any other year, for that matter.I don't think that Montecristo has ever come out with a RE. I'm afraid that you got yourself some very poor fakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Amatista usually refers to the old storage jars factory sealed, but these Monte stciks use the name as a size/shape description. I don't want to be a **** and I hope you take this the right way, but if you have any doubts about a cigar why not just look up Trevor's site before purchasing? http://www.cubancigarwebsite.com/ It will remove any query about a suspect cigar and it's the best reference point for any queries about size, brand, labelling etc. Lots of retailers in the US claim that they have 'Cuban Cigars' and some of the fakers come up with cigars, such as this one, which isn't even a copy of an actual Cuban cigar. Once you've established that you know that your source is full of sh!t. If you research before you buy (and if you buy at a reputable retailer like Czar) you won't get caught.
