Montecristo Montecristo No. 1 Review:
The taste of numbers 1, 3 and 4 is quite the same, coffee, cocoa and vanilla flavours blended in great harmony with a medium tobacco taste. A minimum ageing of at least three years is recommended for this cigar to find its real potential.

Review #19: MAR 05 What I love about Montecristo is that it's the most consistant brand on the market, I know what the cigars will look like without opening the box.I'm smoking a box from MAR05 and I agree with the descreption that the 1,3,and 4 are the same except after about an inch the #1 gives me a big carmel flavor I don't get from the 3 and 4.A very fine cigar that always puts a smile on my face. - Submitted by Richard Rose on June 25, 2008
Review #18: Received this week box dec 06. Presentation not as above but 25 in standard MC dress box.
Box pressed, beautifully rolled with dark wrapper, slightly course.
Thankfully draw is good - I used to smoke many different lonsdale size but got fed up with tight draw - it appears that cigars recently manufactured have improved (perhaps they really do use a suction machine for testing)
Smoked about 6 from this box, they are better flavour than the MC#2's recently purchased. They haven't all been spot on but generally very good.
I think this size is suited to the aficionado as not only very elegant to look at but need to be smoked refinely to get best. Flavour in a good lonsdale is usually quite intense - i would rate this box as med-full flavour and strength. - Submitted by ian on March 12, 2008
Review #17: I trust Montecristo always since it is very well rolled and high quality. Although I smoke several good brands, when I travel I carry with me No.1 and No. 5. I have no idea why! Could be the trust. - Submitted by akkadja on January 2, 2008
Review #16: My review is based on a single cigar I smoked after an El Rey del Mundo Lonsdale. The Monte is completely different in taste than the ERDM (earthy, spicy) and it is much stronger and aromatic. It is what I would expect from an havana, without surprises. Mine was from 2006 and the draw and construction were good. Will smoke again. - Submitted by titobueno76 on December 18, 2007
Review #15: Don't be swayed by the low average score ( so far) on this classic Lonsdale . I have smoked disappointing examples from past years but the 06/07s
are not only nicely rolled ( no plugs)
but have those classic Monte flavors that progress in a way that only this size smoke can deliver . If the #4
leaves you wanting more than this is the answer . - Submitted by wahoo33 on October 13, 2007
