Montecristo Montecristo No. 4 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 #67: I have smoked about 5 of these little fellas now and find them a little salty. They have a long consistant burn, and all of them lasted more than 45 mins. The overall taste is a mild, yet bitter one, with an earthy / roasted (burnt?) coffee overtone into the final half. Also a hint of fruit - passionfruit or grape. Nice cigar, but will try something else of that vitola before I buy any more... - Submitted by XBO on August 14, 2005
Review #66: Box Code HGS DEC03, I am a big fan of petite coronas, as the size fits my schedule and I have found them to be the most consistent in terms of construction than any other vitola. This is one particular cigar in which I look for a natural colored wrapper instead of a darker colorado\\maduro one. This box arrived with a perfect natural color, as requested. Good looking natural wrapper with an oily sheen. Good draw, producing a nice volume of smoke. Honest tobacco flavor with wood and nutty notes and underlying twang with a slight dusting of pepper. This cigar is not the most complex, nor is it the strongest cigar out there. It is however a consistent honest cigar that brings you back to the basics. - Submitted by JGIORD on June 17, 2005
Review #65: For I am a real mareva smoker this may be the best mareva I\'d ever smoked. Still can\'t make a choice... I just keep smoking. For me this format is, like baho sad, a perfect format. Not to big, not to small. Takes you about 1 hour to finish it. And that, I think, is perfect. A nice spicy, well constructed mareva with a tight draw. - Submitted by simmz on June 16, 2005
Review #64: Inconsistent quality with this cigar or are there fake cigars in circulation? I have just returned from Cuba and only bought in official outlets. Following satisfactory purchases from one outlet in Havana I bought four more singles and I don\'t believe they are the real thing at all. I have kept two of them and am considering sending to Montecristo for analysis. I let another cigar shop in Cuba dissect the third cigar, having tried to smoke the fourth and in their opinion it was a fake. I did buy a box at the airport and these so far have been fine. However buying singles in cigar shops in Cuba might be risky as it would be tempting for a shop assistant to put additional stock on sale that was not legitimate. Has anyone else had a similar experience buying from official Cuban cigar shops? - Submitted by Jingouk on June 4, 2005
Review #63: i bought a box of these in st. martin last month and have smoked 4 so far. they were all uniformly excellent. i love to smoke a cigar this size but usually am disappointed in the taste. i often find the 42 gauge to be lacking in flavor, smoothness, burn and overall enjoyment. this cigar has it all. i dont know when it was made because the box didnt make it back. i assume these are of recent manufacture and i am astonished at how good they are. my next to highest recomedation, an 8. - Submitted by ss396 on May 15, 2005
