BillClinton Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Curious if anyone has fired up recent production Monte No 1 and how they have been? How have boxes looked? Codes? Thoughts? Concerns? Thanks 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post NSXCIGAR Posted May 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2022 The 20-21s I've had were good but not great. I'd prefer the 3, 4 and 5 personally. The good news is they come in tubes, so Monica will be happy. 2 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a great cigar though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monte Tubos are Coronas Grandes (not Cervantes/Lonsdales). They actually never came in tubes. One of the only formats they never came in. Tubos is so close to the No. 1 I have it in my head. I'm sure Monica will be happy with the Tubos though. If she's a little underwhelmed try the Siglo VI tubos. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom153 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Absolutely see them developing more cocoa and chocolate notes with a bit more age. Last time I had a fresh Espy 2 was about 10 years ago and they are way better with age on them. To put it into context, I have ‘20 and ‘21 boxes of Espy 2s right now, but I won’t touch them and am smoking ‘16s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhalischuk Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Had the first from a GEL AGO 21 box. Will wait a few months before another but was great for how young it was. No ammonia taste, flavours were pretty good. Box is coming along better than most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anacostiakat Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Smoking out of a AGO21 box now. Uneven. Some are very good. Others, not so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBirdman Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 They’ve been excellent, though like @NSXCIGAR I prefer the fuller flavor of the 3, 4, and 5. Still one of my go-to’s, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frinkiac7 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Just got a box of Espy 2 and will take the advice here and lay them down for a long nap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypots Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I love the MC#1. Give them a little time and make sure the they're not too moist and have at them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
