Themis Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 So gents I'm a just curious of anyone who has smoked Jorge Lopez custom rolled cigars. He was a master roller out of the upman factory. I have a bunch of his "Monsdale" viola which is a dalia. But anyone who has smoked any size comments would be appreciated. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charltonc Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I have been dreaming of trying some of these monsdales. I here they are excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Are they still considered monsdales if not rolled by Enrique Mons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I had one last night. They are really good. I smoke one or two a day when I'm in Cuba, I haven't had a bad one or one with any draw issues. As for flavours, like any Cuban shop cigar I wouldn't describe them as having any spice. Just clean well-balanced, sweet cocoa/coffee flavours. These generally have a nice balance and progression. One of my favourite cigars but I don't smoke them that often outside Cuba.The flavour always brings me right back to Havana. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I don't think even Jorge rolls that many anymore, I think he's too busy behind the counter. Though I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverickdrinker Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Enrique mons sources the tobacco. Jorge was under mons' wing for years and is responsible for rolling monsdales going forward. My understanding is that Mons rolls for very special occasions only. They are delicious cigars..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maverickdrinker Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Yes, he is my friend. Had the occasion to meet him a few times now in Toronto and Havana. Very nice man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themis Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Mr. Lopez's rolls have always been excellent. He is my favorite roller these days (albeit I have only sampled a handful of others). That being said, where did he get the tobacco that he used to roll your Monsdales? I was speaking with him when he was in unionville last November and he told me it was tobacco harvested in 2008. I have 11 monsdales and have yet to smoke one. I had smoked 5 of his coronas before which were good but not like I expected to be honest. I find his rolls to be much under filled from any other customs I've had like hamlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maverickdrinker Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Mons sources his tobacco when in Cuba. When they travel abroad, they are subject to the tobacco available. Some custome rollers get to choose their tobacco in Cuba and then send it over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
