Montecristo Montecristo A Review:
A great classic and the preferred by those who like big Habanos when the time of smoking comes. This cigar was once introduced in the Guiness Book of Records because of its size, 235mm. Cigar for big events. It is the biggest, but not the strongest among Montecristo brand. Remember to accompany it with a big glass of your favourite drink.

Review #28: JAN 03 First of all: What a great cigar! Secondly: There is a certain kind of myth buzzing around this cigar. This myth says that the "A" is only for real man, only able to be smoked after big meals, for the big moments and a cigar to defeated by the tough and experienced smoker. The truth is that this cigar is very expensive! You can make a hype about something by simply making it very expensive. But the A isn't in need of getting attention because of a high price. It speaks for itself. I had one of the best smoking experiences with this cigar. Great earthy, woody tones in a creamy combination and not very complex or challenging to smoke. Perfect draw(!) and (very fast) combustion! (Only smoked about 90 minutes!) If a cigar has a gut burn it doesn't need your permanent attention. And that's what makes a relaxed smoke. By the way - you can get this cigar for the half of the high EU price (under 20€) in Switzerland. Then you'll forget the hype and just get the taste! Try it! - Submitted by Fidelito on May 16, 2008
Review #27:  Few of these Doble Coronas were resting in my humidor for four years, probably rolled in 2002. Appearance was impeccable with somewhat oily wrapper but with a bit to tight draw. In the first half I had to correct burn few times but this was not affecting smoking or taste. The most obvious fault was related with flavor, exactly with lack of diversity of flavors. Linear taste was something I was not expecting from cigar of this size. Just before last third became more interesting with pronounced wood and coffee flavors but soon afterwards changed toward somewhat harsh end. During whole time I couldn’t get rid of feeling that I’m smoking gigantic Monte 4. At the end I can’t resist to compare Monte A with Sanchos: the last is obvious winner. - Submitted by Diademo on February 21, 2008
