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 #57: I just received four boxes of Monte 4s, dated Nov 2004 and purchased at La Casa del Habanos (government outlet). Had I not been given the original recipt I might have suspected these to be counterfeits. The ring gauge is inconsistent, the greey brown wrapper is not the usual reddish brown and the band is glossy. However, I am comparing these four boxes to the four I received in Dec 2003. Anyone else noticed quality control slipped a bit lat last year? Taste-wise they need time in the humidor for sure. For the nonce I'll smoke the Partagas Mille Fleurs another buddy bought for me. - Submitted by Peter B on March 14, 2005
Review #56: To Review #55, What u can expect from a box of cigars dated DEC04? They are still in their sick period. Put it in your lovely humid. for 6 months and try again. No need to wait 3 years for an acceptable mont#4. - Submitted by Derek.C. on March 10, 2005
Review #55: Just the other day i ran a head to head blind tast test with this monty no 4 and a diplo no 4. My wife chose one each from my humidor from each brand. The diplo was from NOV 02 and the monty was from DEC 04. The difference between the 2 isnt even close. The diplo with its 2 plus years of aging puts the monty to shame. the monty is riddled with anoying aromas and flavors of amonia from the very first putt to the almost agonizing last puff. The diplo even had that ever so elusive cuban twang to it, the twang that seperates monties from all the others. The diplo had a more decadent tobacco mainstay and the different flavors and aromas are more than a subtle difference from the monty.
I guess in all fairness to the monty if it is allowed to age to the age of the diplo i am sure it will come around.
But with the diplos available with at least 3 years of aging already under its belt its a basic no brainer, buy the diplos to smoke now, and if you still want the montys buy them and put them away for at least 3 years. I have some no 4's from 2000 and 2001 and they are utterly fantastic, with that ever so elusive cuban twang.

Review #54: Real nice cigar, quite a nutty taste with a full flavour. Good draw and excellent burn. GRTZ - Submitted by Jort on March 9, 2005
Review #53: One of my favorites. Straight up medium with nice flavors of coffee, vanilla, and a little spice. Goes great with an Irish coffee.
