" It was ok for the most part. I didn't like it as much as the no.4 but it wasn't awful either. Regulars, use this one if your looking for a change up from your usual. "

" A great Torpedo, lots of flavor a must for lovers of Cuban cigars. "

Jack

" Gentle yet strong, subtle yet powerful, silky smooth yet rich and deep. This is a truly magnificent smoke. "

Mac

On 2011-02-27

" Indeed a perfect smoke. After an aging of 6 months on, a true satisfaction. Not to be smoked very often, because it's sweet and full of a character of its own. Much better than Edmundo. Special cigar for special moments. "

" What a Cigar, I am new to smoking Cigars, This was my 5th Cigar ever, Wonderfull, dose not do it justice, from that burst of smokey leather/coco to the mellow but consistant notes of flavour Evolving from one to another, was superb i sat with a nice bottle of red wine (Yellow label) and spent a fantastic 90 min out the back in splendure.

" I remember the Y2K bug and all the fear surrounding the unknown. The world seemed to be scared of something unknown! The only good lingering thought seemed to be the 2000 vintage from Bordeaux and the Cohiba anniversary editon cigars. I had the pleasure of having a 2000 anniversary edition Cohiba with an old friend about a year a go and it was a monumental smoke. I have been searching for what it takes for a cigar to reach that greatness. The search goes on.... Now, the search may be over! One guy described the Montecristo #2 as the Mike Tyson of cigars. As racial as that may seem, I understand what he meant. I would have preferred to use the "black mamba" as a more carefully thought adjective to describe this monster smoke. This may be the Cohiba Anniversary Edition in its due time in 10 years. Lets put 2 boxes where they belong! In our humidor. "

Dr. Manion

On 2009-06-15

" Great cigar. This is one of the smoothest smoking cigars through and through. It maintains taste throughout the smoke, and is as easy as breathing air. Would recommend this cigar to any smoker. "

Mark

" Great cigar I have bought several monte #2 boxes they are consistent from my experience and you really cannot go wrong on this famous stick "

" Wonderful cigar! "

On 2008-07-16

" 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. "

" I receaved a box 1.5 month's ago. my first from top cuba, they have been great so for, they or great with a big glass of ky. finest "

" 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. "

Buck

On 2008-01-22

" The Cigar is wonderful, but the best part of the whole experience was Ricks fantastic service throughout the whole transaction process! I work online and work with others online all day and I've never come across such prompt and attentive service as that of TopCubans and Rick. Thank you thank you!! "

Brewster

" 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). "

On 2007-04-29

" 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. "

" This has to be one of the best cigars I've ever smoked. Great construction, but the flavor is subtle intriguing and very bold! Still not a tongue burner, but wonderful and powerful all at once! "

Nhamm2

On 2006-10-06

" 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. "

Ricardo Montalban

On 2005-10-09

" Great cigar. Good with a single malt at sunset if you have an hour. Occasional re light, occasional spoon. Keep them moist, they dry quickly and require weeks to recondition. Clip them a little high high to avoid the re lights. "

" I bought these Monties #2 in Moscow recently, and at best they are fair. Very little flavour and difficult to keep lit at the end. However, judging from ratings of others, I will try some from Richard! "

Jim

" Almost as good as sex. Draw was excellent and the taste was outstanding. Had a couple relights but a small price to pay for a great cigar experience. This is an awesome smoke accompanied by a martini. "

Andrew

On 2003-09-18

" This cigar is very flavorful and easy to smoke. It has a consistent burn and the aroma of the smoke makes you want to immerse yourself in it. I almost cry when their end comes near. I recommend a good single malt scotch to complement the occasion. "

" My first box from Richard, and I must say, the service is first class.....the #2 is a very strong and spicy cigar, full flavored with lots of coffee, wood, earth and a little cream and vanilla...very smooth and robust, box time in the humidor should just make it even better...if thats possible... "

F1racer

On 2003-05-22

" My all time favorite.Ohh so rich and full of spice with notes of chocolate.Have a Montecristo #2 and a glass of port and enjoy pure bliss. "

Harpplayer

On 2003-05-16

" This rating is probably very redundant but I am compelled to pay homage to this cigar. Monsieur Richard makes sure that each cigar is of top quality and you can tell. The #2 has become a ritual smoke for me. Give me a Monte #2, an Irish Whiskey and an hour and I am one happy camper. What a smoke..... "

Potentsb2

On 2003-04-22

" This is by far my favorite cigar. I had one left from the last batch I ordered and smoked it the day my next box arrived. A truely unbelievable smoke. Smooth beyond compare. No surprise it got a 94 in CA. "

Mike

On 2003-03-20

" Not a bad smoke. Nothing to write home about. Flavor was a little dry and hot. great construction and excellent draw and burn. "

Matt

On 2003-03-20

" 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. "

Bill Settemio

On 2003-01-31

" I bought myself a box of these babies as a Christmas present for myself. The wrappers have a beatiful chocalate sheen to them and even though they are young this vitole is the one that all the other #2s are measured by. They smoke like a dream.The Best! "

Rbry
