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 #47: What can I say? It is the best selling habano in the world. If I had kept tags on dates, I could tell you when the demand overran the quality. Shop wisely. It is the best of the best, but don't play too much with the final 3rd. Sweetish, spicy, strong. Run away from the too spicy for they are out of standard. The construction should be slightly lumpy, moving to the dry. A good way to ascertain if it is not in a demand craze is the aroma,always woody, always sweetish. It takes time to recognize this quality since the literature confuses it with the "oily and spicy" which it is not. - Submitted by Alfredo on December 13, 2004
Review #46: Ok, firstly like any havana cigar you need to have the genuine article and also good quality. I only smoke cigars from my local tobacconist which prides itself on it's top quality EMS havanas and storage. I have smoked some No. 4 from other places which to some might appear to stock quality havanas but they do not, and they are certainly not EMS (if they are even genuine). They were poor and I did not enjoy them at all. Now I have found my new tobacconist every havana I smoke is enjoyable, just in different degrees. So beware when you review a cigar that you have not tasted a fake or one from the bottom of the barrel shipped to slack suppliers. Real Monte No.4 are delicious, creamy cigars with sweet leathery, coffee and cocoa flavours. Ageing does them the world of good, removing slight acid tastes and rough notes and balancing them beautifully, as well as improving burn and draw qualities as with any puro. - Submitted by A.

Review #45: Tasted better (more complex and stronger)the first time which was over 2 years ago so ageing was not beneficial. What I like about this cigar is that it still continues to taste smooth even if hurried. - Submitted by POUPON (OTTAWA) on November 14, 2004
Review #44: Just put one out! ok cuban, but lacking the flavor I like & in my opinion the bolivar in this same format is much better or if you want to spend a little more money try the sligo 2 - Submitted by dr bob on October 31, 2004
Review #43: A classic with the typical Montecristo character. Honeyed and powerful with good flavor development right to the end. This cigar is a staple, suited for almost any occasion. - Submitted by Stacks Overflow on October 29, 2004
