Montecristo Montecristo No. 2 Review:
This Montecristo cigar is something to deal with. Those who prefer this brand, find in this particular model all the virtues from the Cuban brand, and those who do not know it yet, find in this stick the power of the best selling brand in the whole world.

Review #107: Just smoked a fresh '05 example. The construction was impeccable. I could have left the ash go all the way to the nub but I "broke" it off at nearly 4 inches! The taste was very nice but no doubt too young to really appreciate. This cigar continues to fascinate Habanos lovers and I will continue to buy them knowing that having more around to age is a good thing. Others in the collection from '02 are really blossoming into woncerful examples of Montecristo's delight. Spotty at times in the past, yes, but the newer production stuff I've been seeing is truly a great cigar. There's something magical about this cigar and I encourage those with less-than-perfect experiences not to give up on it. - Submitted by Shooter on January 2, 2006
Review #106:  This is certainly one of the most complex and flavorfull cigars out there. Easily one of my all time favorite. I bought my first Montecristo Piramide box 5 years ago and smoked the first one right on the shop. The cigar was amazing, even color and well constructed. It burnt evenly with nice round puffs and deep nice consistent draw. Certainly not for beginners. I suggest for the newbies to try on a more milder cigars and move your way up. Interestingly, this cigar offers 3 different levels of flavors. The first third was fulfilling, deep, a little creamy and a hint of spicy nut. The midsection or the second third of the cigars offers a deeper and more spicier flavor and still giving a nice even draw. A powerful cigar indeed. However, (yes.. there is a however) the last third of the cigar is not what i had in mind. Too bitter and offer a much more complexcity to the already complex cigar. Over the next few years, i smoked these cigars once in a while. They aged really well in Elie B and you wont be dissapointed in keeping a few boxes...enjoying one once in a while. (of course you have to smoke other cigars as well! :) ) - Submitted by hkakalim on December 7, 2005
Review #105: Living in Mexico, they are alot of frauds of Cohibas and this cigar.. You need to go to a reputable shop to find authemtic Cubans.
Much like the rest of the reviewers, when this cigar is good it is wonderful ( about as strong as I smoke), but when its bad , well its, not up to par and you toss it....and that bothers me..like a bad bottle of wine in a case...Many shrug their shoulders and open, lite, another...But if you have a name like Montecristo, Chateau Latour (yes, they are in the same league) you strive for a certain level. That being said...90% of the time this is my after dinner cigar...10% o fthe time its tossed. and I shake my head...... - Submitted by donk93953 on November 16, 2005

Review #103: It's all been said, and I had to review this again just to back up how good these can be if chosen well. They are not MY perfect cigar but I really love them anyway. It's a classic and deserves to be well aged, that's how you get them good and realise what the hype is all about :). To sselway, (if cigars review could contact him for me?) WHERE on earth do you buy your cigars, 5 euros for a Monte 2?! If you can re-assure me that you know they are genuine Havanas I may well visit there someday int he future on holiday. - Submitted by MeGustaLosHabanos on September 3, 2005
