Popular Post El Presidente Posted February 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2019 Good day in the warehouse. The standouts of the day were Monte 3, P2, Siglo IV and some glorious Punch Punch. Very very nice 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I can almost smell those no.3 Does it seem like they've drifted into safer waters these last couple of years? I know it seems Monte is a protected species with deletions but if one was going to go out looked like the no.3 would have been it a few years or so back 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The No. 3 is THE corona of coronas. It's also one of the few left. Sad. Twilight zone. ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prodigy Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I think I'm due for some punch punch. My last box was good, but not great. Maybe I need 2 more so I can stash one and age the other...Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really surprising how much of a different blend the no.3 is to the other numbered series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordlister Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I just cracked a box of 2012 PSP Monte 3's and they are heavenly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really a special cigar for me. I don't have any at the moment and that's unfortunate. The last box I had was from 2010/11 and I finished it in maybe 2014/15-ish. In recent years I've shifted towards marevas, so the No. 4 has been the Monte in my rotation. Joining FOH has rekindled some fond memories, though. I have five boxes on their way from Rob et al., including a box of Monte Especiales No.2, which is easily one of my favorite cigars of all time, as well as several robustos, a format I've ignored for a long time. I keep coming back to look at this pic of Monte 3s. I think I have a problem. ? I'd love to buy a box and just sit on it for 6 or 7 years, as you have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am down to about 8 from my box and it was a particularly heavily pressed box and they are all a tight draw. Flavor was so great still and they at least burned very cleanly and evenly. I like the flavor profile but if the tightness is typical of this vitola I may be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the sweet spot for me with the no.3, around 4 years a process begins where sweet raisins start to appear and it just grows and grows, just beautiful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
