Richard's Past experience:

The most famous cigar coming out of Cuba and our most popular cigar to date ! The reason ? This cigar has got character beyond belief being stocky, dark and pointed. He reminds me of Mike Tyson ! Powerful from the start, the Monte No. 2 tantalizes the palate with rich wood and spice flavors, yet maintains a creamy feel the whole way through. This is an excellent cigar that everyone must try !

"These are a wonderfully constructed cigar and pretty relaible on the whole, but they are not all that. There are cigars that compare well and a few that better this. The Robaina and Partagas Torpedos knock the socks off this Monte and Cuaba comes close but for construction. I would describe these as an anytime cigar that looks great (if not a little light) but would not hold its own after dinner against some contenders with more punch. Good value and you do always get what you pay for with a Monte."

"There is something uniquely seductive about the Monte No. 2. The minute I light one of these life just slows down. I particularly love smoking this one when relaxing after work in the garden and watching the birds and squirrells. It has a rich subtle spice flavor, is definitely not overpowering and offers a luxurious smoke. The Monte 2 is reasonably priced and a great one to offer your friends. The reaction is almost always, Oh, WOW a Montecristo, This is the best!' This along with all the cigars that come from Richard and Topcubans always arrives promptly and in perfect condition."

"Excellent Cigar. Very Smooth and mild. Very well constructed with a superb rich and creamy flavor. Burns very evenly and does not have a "hot" finish. This is one of the classic smokes that should be an "old reliable" in everyone's humidor."

"The Cigar is wonderful, but the best part of the whole experience was Ricks fantastic service throughout the whole transaction process!

"If there's a cigar any better than this, I'll take 50 right now. The Monte #4 taste is a delight, draw is perfect, burn is true with a long ash. With this perfection from youth, I can only image what a few years of aging will bring (if I can restrain myself from smoking them all now)."

"A GREAT smoke....a little inconsistent from box-to-box,but even the not-so good ones,(few),are still very good.An excellent all around smoke,they are the staple of my humidor along with Ramon Allones extra specials."

"When 'on' as good as it gets. A big, meaty cigar with ladles of flavour. Not particularly subtle, but like a classic heavy red wine, in the right circumstances can make you stop in your tracks and spend time wondering how something so simple can be so good. A must have in the humidor."

"A very worthy cigar. The flavours I found where very rich and full with a spicy, dark choc combination. Allowing them to age has let them become an even consistant ciagr, the only one set back I have experience was a fault in the wrapper, but that has not been common."
