EuroTrash Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I got gifted one and was pleasantly surprised. Great morning stick. I'll be picking up a box of these shortly. Not well known and great price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokenj Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I love these sticks, but the box that I had purchased earlier this year I was unhappy with draw wise. I found all of them to be plugged and had to run a skewer through them. After opening them up they were wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleOle Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Just received a box from our hosts; have to say, they smell absolutely delicious, cannot wait to try them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontrealRon Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 The Hand Made are non existant, but it is, no? The cello wrapped cigars are machine made. These boxes are usually marked "cello" or "cellophane", on the name label, but never "machine-made". The others are machine bunched and hand-wrapped; and the boxes are usually stamped "Totalmente a mano" on the bottom, though this is at best a half truth. There were no fully hand made Montecarlos before c.2002, when the cigar-rolling machines were finally abandoned. Those previously machine made cigars that survived the big change-over were reborn as fully hand made, though generally using the same tobaccos that were used in their former incarnations.

RockemSockem Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 >> New FOH! I was just in Cuba last month and brought home lots of cigars. It feels like a spent a small fortune. I've been eyeing the *****INT site and so far have been able to resist the urge to purchase anything. After reading this thread, and being only $125/box, I've placed my first order. Can't wait to try them! Thanks guys. (no sarcasm, honest) /Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuroDan Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I have never had a Monte Carlo, but the PL panatella was good considering the price point/ and the fact it was a short filler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuroDan Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Gonna pull the trigger soon!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthson Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Gonna pull the trigger soon!!! You won't regret it. If you like skinny, these are simply amazing when you figure the price. Currently vying with RASS as my supreme favorite smoke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokenj Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Could be humidity. Mine are perfect. Humidity isn't the issue with these. I have my setup sitting at 65. I have spoken to a few people on the subject and they all seem to say the same thing. Don't get me wrong; it's a great cigar. I just wished I didn't need to unclog each and every one. I'm hoping my next box is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickHendeson Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Call me old-fashioned, but I use my drybox for the same thing and it works well as long as I can adequately plan what I'll want to smoke in a day or two's time. This. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjaycutler Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Excellent smoke in my opinion. Some have been a bit tight on the draw but not terrible. I get a raisin flavor and they are great with coffee as others have mentioned. And this is coming from an early 2014 box. EML Feb 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corylax18 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I received an EML ABR 14 box the first week of December. I gave them about 6 weeks to rest and tried one. The first one was the worst drawing cigar I've ever had. The draw testing machine must not have been working the day they finished this box. I ended up cutting about an inch and half from the head of the cigar that was SOLID. No amount of poking or rolling between my fingers was going to help. After I cut of the densest part, I poked from the head towards the foot and tried again, a little something, but I couldn't take more than a few more puffs as the smoke was harsh and acrid due to how hard I had to draw. Very disappointed with my first experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
