Good question, I've never seen one in a shop in the USA. I think they're illegal here but I'm not sure......

I think you can get the Dominican version in the US, but I have never tried a Dominican Montecristo. While I hear good things about them, since there is no embargo here in Canada most shops just stock the Cuban version. Also, since CC has not seen any of them, I am guessing they are either not popular or unavaliable in the US.

A Montecristo #1 can cost upwards of $70 Cad per stick here. I have heard that there are some stores in Canada which sell for less, but I have never seen any.

Has anyone ever tried the Dominican Montecristo #1?

Dominican Regular line Monte's are overpriced flavorless chump sticks smoked by posers who drive mid size 6 cylinder type SUV's and wear wimmens panties. If one of these girly men ever smoked a Joya de Nicargua 1970 surely they would vomit and pass out. 'nuff said

Hmmmmm, I am going to go out on a limb here and say that Kevin doesn't like Dominican Montecristo's.......

You asked about Cuban Montecristo #1s, CC gives you an answer then you make it look like you're talking about Dominican ones?

What gives?

I've tried the Dominican Montecristo #1s and they suck.

I was actually originally interested in the Cuban version. Since I am Canadian, they are perfectly legit here. I forgot that you cant get them in the US. After reading CC's post I did some searching and realized that you can get Dominican Montecristo's, but I have never seen any. I figured some of the American's would have tried them.

Thanks for the reviews, I will definitly stay away from em!

Oh come on, you didn't know or "forgot" that Cuban cigars are illegal in the USA?

Sorry but I don't believe you....

What's with the unnecessary apostrophes (Montecristos and Americans)? You definitely spelled definitely wrong.

I am Canadian, all Cuban Cigars are perfectly fine here. In fact, most cigar stores stock mainly cuban cigars. When I asked the question, I kinda intended any non-american cigar smokers to respond, I never even considered the Cuban embargo.

When CC pointed out that you can't get Cuban Montecristos in the US, I started wondering about the Dominican Montecristos. Since I never tried a Dominican Monte #1 before, I figured I would ask, this is a cigar forum after all.

Seriously man, this is a Cigar forum. I had a question about both Cuban and Dominican Montecristo #1's and I asked. I also got some great responses. That is the purpose of a cigar forum. Poeple here are really knowledgeable about cigars and willing to answer questions. This is a great resource for cigar reviews and opinions. Why are you being so hostile? I just asked a question and got some great responses. Now I wont waste my money on Dominican Monte's.

You're right that this is not English class or I'd have red marks all over my screen.

If you want to call someone out on their spelling/grammar/punctuation/whatever, go to it. It happens all the time on here.

However, there is no need to name call. And, for that matter, if you do want to name call, come up with something more original than "your a dick." If you are going to start throwing shit, throw it creatively.
