Montecristo cigar fans - REJOICE! A lot of people wonder where the name of
this fine Cuban cigar came from. Well it was named after the infamous
novel ‘The count of Montecristo’ by Alexander Dumas. Anyways, Why did I
want you crazy Montecristo cigar fan to REJOICE!? Because I found the
trailer of the movie that was made after this book was released. After
some research, I found out that the count of monte cristo is a butt
kicking movie that any Montecristo cigar fan will enjoy (Or a good movie
fan in general). I can’t wait to get my hands on it and than right a
review of the movie on this blog. Check out the trailer below:

The Montecristo Petit Edmundo cigar is probably one of the best little cigars that you will ever have. My buddy recently sent me these and I’m not talking about just a box. This amazing friend of mine, sent me six boxes of the Montecristo Petit Edmundo cigars. Why did he send me six    boxes? Well a while ago my friend was having some financial problems and
was going through a really bad divorce.

So to help him out, I did a few things for him which kind of got him on track again. That’s what real friends do right, they help each other out. So as a token of his appreciation, he sent me six boxes of Montecristo Petit Edmundos. Now I didn’t want anything back from him as I was just helping him out, but I will never say no to free Cuban cigars. When he gave me the Montecristo Petit Edmundo cigars, it was a little late in the night for me to smoke one so the next day, which was a Friday, I finally tried one of these little beauties. It is definitely true that the smaller a cigar, the more flavorful it’s going to be.

The reason being is that you taste the most flavor of any cigar in the end of it. A longer cigar has the full length to “filter” the taste at the beginning, which a shorter cigar doesn’t have. Since the Montecristo Petit Edmundos are really short, you get to feel the flavors right away. If you have an extra 15 minutes I suggest you get a box of the Montecristo Petit Edmundo cigars and just take that break that you truly deserve. So until  next time, I just want to say thanks friend and I’m very happy that you’re back on your feet. For obvious reasons my cigar buddy will remain anonymous.

So today I got a chance to try the Montecristo Petit Tubos. The cool thing about this Montecristo cigar is that it can be enjoyed on the go. They come in those aluminum tubes (Hence the ‘tubo’ part) and they taste quite good. Speaking of taste, these are actually quite flavorful for a ‘little cigar’. If you like the Monte 4s than you’ll definitely enjoy these.

 are truly a nice little treat.Some Montecristo cigar fans and critics argue that these are better than the Montecristo 4s but I think they both have something unique about them. Just like all Cuban cigars, you can actually enhance the taste by aging these little beauties in your humidor.

Some might say that these are even better than the Montecristo No 2s but I guess it all depends on the Cuban cigar smoker. If you get a chance, please pick a few Montecristo Petit Tubos, you won’t regret the experience. I was lucky enough to get it at my bros bachelor party (Oh yeah the big guy finally got married!) and yes we had a great time. Might I add that I actually had these when I was sober so you know my Montecristo Petit Tubos review here is legit - haha- until next time baby!

So I finally got my hands on one of these monster-sized cigars, known as the Montecristo A in the Cuban cigar world. I didn’t know this (shame on me) but the Montecristo A is considered a classic Cuban cigar and can be found in many famous humidors. Did you know that this cigar was also featured in the Guinness Book of World Records? Yes pretty impressive eh!

So before I got to this supersized Cuban cigar, one of my more experienced Cuban cigar smoking friends mentioned that I should enjoy it with my favorite drink. If you’ve been following me on this montecristo blog, you know my favorite drink is of course - Good Ol Scotch!

When I try a Cuban cigar for the first time, I like to smoke it by myself so I can give you guys a real review instead of getting carried away in some drunken conversation with my friends. Let’s just put it this way, overall this is a great cigar. A little lighter in taste than I expected but I think they kept it that way because of the length of the cigar. Do I recommend the Montecristo A cigar? You bet I do!

The Vancouver Cigar company just got a hold of some 2008 Montecristo Sublimes (Don’t ask me how I know it, let’s just say I got a secret insider source working for me lol). Now the funny thing is, the last time the Sublimes size were introduced, it was way back in 2004 (Cohiba was the first brand to use this size).

Well now it’s time for my favorite brand (Montecristo of course) to shine. I’ll be getting this box in the next few weeks so I’ll add more when I get them. From what I’ve heard and seen so far, this is going to be a treat for Montecristo cigar lovers worldwide.

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!

You can get a box  of Montecristo No.4 Reserva cigars here

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.
