Review #13: JUST RECIEVED 5 MORE DRESSED BOXES FROM SLA JAN01 PRODUCTION RUNS, THE EVER SO ELUSIVE AND INTOXICATING MUSTY AROMA AND FLAVOR IS EVER PRESENT, THE SQUARE PRESSED SHAPE IS A TRUE SIGN OF PROPER AGING, AND THE BLOOM ON THE TOP LAYERS IS A SIGHT TO BEHOLD, I ALMOST CRIED WHEN I SEEN THIS. THE EVER SO ELUSIVE MUSTY FLAVOR AND SMELL GIVE THESE A TRUE SIGN OF A TRUE CUBAN MASTER PIECE. I HAVE SEVERAL BOXES OF THE CHURCHILLS IN STOCK, AND THEY ARE NOT AS GOOD AS THESE MONARCAS. THE WRAPPERS ARE PERFECT, DARK ALMOST MADURO, THEY ARE STILL OILY EVEN AFTER 6 YEARS IN THE BOX, THEY ARE ROLLED AS TIGHT AS A BRICK, AND THE DRAW IS FLAWLESS. WHEN I SMOKE ONE OF THESE AT THE LOCAL PUB EVERY ONE ASKS, WHAT KIND OF CIGAR AM I SMOKING, THE FLAVORS AND AROMAS TURN EVERY ONES HEAD, AND NOSE. IF YOU CAN FIND ANY FROM SLA FACTORY FROM EARLY 2001 BUY ALL YOU CAN YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH THIS ONE, YOU CAN SAVE A PRETTY PENNY BUYING THESE INSTEAD OF THE SIR WINSTONS, YOU CAN GET 3 BOXES OF THESE FOR THE COST OF 2 BOXES OF THE SIR WINSTONS. HAPPY HUNTING TO ALL, AND GOOD LUCK. - Submitted by BIGYESTA on March 29, 2006
Review #12: I'm on my THIRD box of these. Great smoke with full flavor and long lasting. I can light one up when I leave Indianapolis and it will last til Louisville! Box press makes these cigars ones you need to loosen up a bit by rolling between your fingers then let rest a few days in a good humidor. After about two weeks thogh they really show their stuff! - Submitted by jlcccm on March 21, 2006
Review #11: I have a 2001 Box. This is a nicely box-pressed, deep leather-colored, cigar. I enjoyed the ever present cuban aroma ematating from the box. This cigar took me hour to complete; I am a heavy puffer. The Monarcas is well-filled. There were no soft spots. This is a man's companion of a cigar. Taste was of smooth, carameled tobacco. It's a medium to full bodied smoke. I was not left wanting more, after smoking this cigar. It fulfills. - Submitted by HUC on March 5, 2006
Review #10: This cigar had the best, clean cuban tobacco taste I ever experienced in a cigar. Extremely beautiful and perfect Julieta. Unlimited ageing potential, this cigar deserves to rest for at least 8-10 years or even longer because really old H.Upman cigars like Monarcas, Sir Winston and Magnum 46 are among the best cigars in the world. You can compare them with great old Bordeaux wines, reasonably good when young, heaven on earth when the mighty potential come to life after a few decades! A classic by any standard! - Submitted by a.martinsen on February 14, 2006
Review #9: A 5 star Havana. Firstly I am not sure of the box date mine were from, I got 2 and without going into detail I think they were '01 or '02. Perfect roll, beautiful unlit smell, fantastic burn qualities and cool, mellow, delicious smoke, smooth at cream to the nub. A dance of creamy cocoa, coffee and dark woody flavours going from the lighter side of medium to touching on full in the last third. The wel mentioned, subtle dusty, musty aroma and a building tangyness with more robust mspice only appearing in the last quarter. Nubbed to an inch. The best churchills I have smoked since a 1994 Romeo last year. - Submitted by A. Dyer on November 19, 2005
