Ladies and gentleman, here is my new favorite Double Corona (It use to be the Ramon Allones Gigantes). The Montecristo Double Coronoa LE 2001 is nothing short of an oustanding Cuban cigar. For most people who don’t know, the double corona size is fairly long (A little bit over 7 inches), so if you like long cigars (Churchill size), I guarantee this cigar would be a new favorite. The trouble is, these cigars have been off the market for over 6 years, so they are very hard to find. I was lucky and a family member stopped smoking and sold me a box that he had been aging perfectly.
The Montecristo Double Corona LE 2001 is definitely one of the most ‘full bodied’ Cuban cigars I’ve had. I tasted so much chocolate I thought I was smoking nutella! Well maybe that is stretching it a bit but my god the choclate / earthy flavors are a true delight for anyone’s palette.
I still have about 24 left and guess what I’m going to do? Age them even more! Yes these cigars have definitely benefitted from age and I know they’ll just get better with a few more years. I can’t wait. I’ll write another review after three years and tell you exactly how they taste like after you age them for a few years. Super excited about the Montecristo Double Corona LE 2001.

I was waiting to get this box and it finally arrived! Boy was it worth the wait. The Reserva de Montecristo cigar contains ‘aged’ tobacco leaves. So far (At least as far as I know), only 5000 numbered boxes have been produced. So when I got mine today, I was naturally excited. First let me tell you something - as soon as I opened the box up, the smell of these Cuban cigars was incredible.
So I slowly took one of these beauties out, cut the tip of the cap off with my guillotine cutter and lit it up using a wooden match. As soon as I took the first puff, I was overwhelmed by the beautiful aromas that this cigar started giving out. So I sat there on my couch for like 50 minutes with a side of scotch and just forgot about the rest of the world.
This is by far one of my favorite Montecristo cigars of all time. Hold on - let’s make it one of my favorite cigars of all time period. Not only do the cigars in the Montecristo No. 4 Reserva look good, they taste even better than you would imagine.
I’m so glad I got mine - thank you Cuban cigar gods!

This Montecristo No 2 cigar is truly an amazing Cuban cigar. If you are fan of the Montecristo brand (Just like I am), Then you know exactly what I’m talking about. The Montecristo No 2 embodies all the qualities of a real Cuban cigar. No wonder it is the top selling Cuban cigar model of all time and the most popular Montecristo model. Some people say that this is best ‘torpedo’ or ‘piramide’ ever - and I agree with them one hundred percent.
Montecristo 2 is an amazing Cuban cigar and this week I want you to try this and tell me about your experience. Make sure you get it from a certified Cuban cigar dealer so you can truly enjoy this fine cigar. I know people who have been buying boxes of the Montecristo No 2 for over a decade! Yes that is not surprising to me at all because here is a little secret - I happen to be one of them

Just doing what I do best or “googling” as they call it and than out of no where I came across this very interesting web site.
If you want too see what other people think about almost all Cuban cigar models, this is the place to be.
I didn’t like their site design though, they really need to get with the times. Plus sometimes I don’t really appreciate just any individual’s reviews on Cuban cigars.
Especially the first timers who have no idea what they are talking about. Hey just my two cents - after all, this blog is for the real Montecristo cigar lovers.
So if are one of those people, who like other people’s opinion on things before you try it out yourself, than go for it. It will definitely help you get a better idea on which Montecristo cigar is right for you.

My name is Brian Alejandro and I would like to welcome you to my blog on Montecristo Cigars. You see, their are lots of amazing cuban cigars out there and I had the pleasure of trying out lots of them over the past 18 years. However, one brand that I’ve stuck with for the longest, and found most consistent, is the Montecristo.
I first had the pleasure of smoking the Montecristo (No 2s) with my Dad and since then I’ve never looked back. I’ve tried No 4s, Edmundo’s and pretty much every model that they’ve put out. Although personally I like the Montecristo 2s, cigar enthusiast inside me love to smoke them all.
Who wouldn’t
So join me in my journey as I try out different Montecristo’s and write real reviews about them. Don’t forget your glass of scotch, as it’s required
