Montecristo Double Corona LE 2001 Review:
Our panel unanimously agreed this cigar stands out as a major new heavyweight in the Cuban cigar world. Visually appealing with a leathery soft velvet texture, the construction quality is outstanding and seamless, with few visible veins. Smoking strong, earthy, and 'ultra' full-bodied, we tasted loads of chocolate and lighter tones of dark spice.
Notably, this cigar smoked nicely all the way down to below the band. They should age beautifully, but happily, are ready to smoke now as well.

Review #10: I have had some of these in my humidor since 2002. I have smoked a few without feeling that they were truly outstanding. So, it has been about three years since I last smoked one. Last weekend I decided to try them again and smoked one on my screened porch on Saturday. The additional aging has made a terrific difference in this cigar. The appearance was outstanding. Smooth and silky wrapper with tiny veins; not as dark as some have described. Prelight draw was somewhat sweet and spicy. The first inch or so was very strongly chocolate to almost the exclusion of any other flavor except tobacco. Then the cigar moved into a phase of spice and cream along with the chocolate that just got stronger and stronger until the chocolate basically disappeared. The middle of the cigar was dominated by spice and cream with the typical bitersweet Montecristo flavor profile emerging. The last one third of the cigar was mainly expresso, spice, and cream with tones of leather and cedar. The burn was very even until near the end of the cigar when I needed to touch it up few times. The draw was uniformly excellent. It was firm at first, but loosened and produced large volumes of smoke for most of the cigar. Overall, two hours of smoking bliss. - Submitted by McSmoke on July 12, 2007
Review #9: smoked one stick in st. martin. this has to be one of the best cigars i have smoked. how much did i like them? i bought the rest of his inventory. this cigar is smoother, more refined and has more complexity than the other montecristo\'s i smoke(2,4,a). the wrapper is very dark and oily in comparison to the regulars. i give it my highest rating. price is shocking but i think it is worth it. - Submitted by ss396 on May 11, 2005
Review #8: This DC is the EL that comes closest to the Cohiba DC EL in terms of complexity and depth. Granted it has two years more than the Co DC EL so it is more mature; overall an excellent cigar. - Submitted by Cigardoc on March 14, 2005
