Montecristo (non-cuban)

Which Monte did you try?

These are one of my go to smokes - always good!!! I personally like the Platinums and the Peruvian lines (like the Feur de Lance and Buena Fortuna).

Nice review!!!

I like the Monte Classics in the Churchill size. Very nice cigar...

Try some of the others. The White Labels are a bit milder, but VERY nice. Like I said before, I like the Platinum line... Afrique's are on the more full bodied side, but also nice.

The only criticism I have is the draw is sometimes a bit tight, especially in some of the smaller ring guage sizes.

i believe the one i had was a robusto, at first i thought it was going to have a tight draw, but after i'd say about 4 puffs, it turned out very nicely
