JayHabanos Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 How are these? Anything you’d compare them to? Been thinking about getting some since they’re so cheap. I tried one today with no rest; I would say it’s difficult to give them a fair rating with acclimation but they were decent. Not great but had some pleasant flavor of fruit/twang aftertaste. Kinda like a cheap and cheerful Romeo y Julieta. If you are looking for a cheap smoke it doesn’t seem to bad of a value. But I will have to re-evaluate when properly acclimated Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chibearsv Posted February 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2020 The Upmann #2s are crazy dark and oily. I'm really looking forward to these; thank you @El Presidente! The Siglo IVs are lovely as I would expect but there is a real WOW factor to those #2s 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pulled the trigger on a box from another popular site. One of the last two they had stocked, and who knows when (if) they'll resurface.

No. When bands are updated the obsolete stock is used up until they are completely deleted. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked the Cigar Aficionado archives. There are examples of Monte 3 sporting standard band C up until NOV '16. The first monte 3 shown with standard band D is DIC '16 (not sure why they reviewed two so close together... maybe for the top 25 list?). Other vitolas are shown with standard band D in 2014 (edmundo for example), so perhaps they had a surplus of standard band C in the small/med RG size and continued to use them until they ran out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Yeah I would say they are true to the Hoyo marca. Have that light cream, vanilla taste.
