" Was expecting the usual throat burning Monte taste, but NO, it was smooth and creamy,chocolatey and full of thick cloudy smoke. This is a cigar that I will definately buy again "

" The #4 is always a let down for me. The cigar has a nice flavor with the typical Monte cream, vanilla, nut and cedar but the draw on these ruins the entire experience. I haven't had a #4 yet that I haven't had to suck my brains out to smoke. I've had several boxes of #4's too and they are all like this. I've given up on the #4. I will stick with the legendary #2 when I want a Monte. I realize these are pretty cheap but do yourself a favor and save up to buy yourself a box of #2's - with perfect draw, construction and burn ever time you will never smoke another #4. "

" I like these cigars a lot but have found them to be inconsistant from the same box but a very good earthy flavor but would not hesitate to buy again. "

" smoking these for 18 yrs and still one of the best petit coronas out there and my go to cigar. The quality/draw of these have improved greatly over the last 5 years. i would say 3 years of aging is max for these cigars after that they just mellow out completely. recently had some from a box i purchased in 1999 and they are just mellow. 2009's smoking just as good - smoothens out the finish and tames the bittery/earthy flovours towards the end.

" I smoke a lot of petit coronas, and have tried a wide variety, and I still keep coming back to the Monte 4 when I want to let my guard down and know that a wonderful smoke will be had. Beautiful! "

" My first cuban was the montecristo no.2 and I figured I would try no. 4. I enjoyed the cigar, but still think no. 2 is still no. 1 "

" Surely a great example of the cigar makers art! Taste one of these and you'll realise why these are one of the biggest selling marevas in the world. A great way to spend 35 minutes! And with a good cognac, it turns it into one of life's pleasures! "

" My first Cuban was the no. 4. I loved it from first draw. I have had many other Cuban's since, still my favorite. "

" My favorite cigar. Consitently smooth. Never had a bad one yet. I feel like I should be paying 2 or 3 times as much for this good of a smoke. "

" I've only been smoking for about two years or but I had never tried one of these up until about a month ago. I must say I was looking really forward to this smoke after hearing all the hype over it, plus I gave it a fair while in my humi before I touched it. Over all it's not bad just personally I didn't enjoy it very much. "

" Had a opportunity to taste about 10 different cuban petit coronas recently and the monty's have the best taste and flavor. These are best in class. "

" The best petit corona out there! Hints of coffee (with cream) spice and everything nice. What you'd expect from a great cuban. God Bless The Vuelta Abajo!!!

Richard, you're the best.

" I give the ones with a good draw 4.9, with bad draw a 3. This cigar can be a problem but without the problem, fantastic. "

" wow, to me, this was better than the monte #2, very spicy, creamy, great pillowy smoke, excellent aftertaste, hint of sweetness. I wasn't expecting much, but was very surprised--I will order more, outstanding. "

" Cubans have increased in quality across the board the last few years and this is a true testament to that. Earthy, salty and a spicy finish, completely smooth. This cigar is quite frankly the best of it's class. "

" bought my first box just a little after christmas have had them sitting in my humidor and finally got to smoking one , these babies are quite possibly the best i have tryed (i've only tryed about 5-7 different cigars) but i'm sure i'll keep a good number of these in my humidor for that special moment "

" When you get a good one, wow its fantastic, a little cigar that makes you want to take a nap afterwards. Sometimes though, they are just "ehh". More consistency would grant a much higher score. "

" First off, this is a good smoke and a great value, but not as well balanced as some others, perhaps more humidor time would help. Still well made, good burn, and the taste is bolder than you might expect "

" Out of all the Montecristos this has to be the most consistent smoke.Slow burning full flavour yet not over powering. Smokes real slow for a shorty and has just the right amount of spice. This is also a great value from Top Cubans. I keep these stocked at all times in my humidor thanks to Richard. "

Woody

" Never a disappointment. Always consistent. Excellent short smoke. "

Bill

On 2002-06-03

" This is a great cigar that upholds the Montecristo tradition. A mild smoke with wonderful flavors and subtle sweetness. A consistent burn with a light gray, solid ash. A prelight bouquet only found in Cuban cigars. I will definitely buy these again. "

" Iam new to cuban cigars.com. After scratching the surface of some of the more notable cubans, I found the Monte Cristo #4 to be outstanding! This cigar has the body and sweetness that lives up to its name. If you like it "short and sweet" this is the cigar for you!!

Thanks Richard,

John "
