Montecristo No.2 GOS Ago 2018
The Montecristo No.2...now, I know what you're thinking, something along the lines of, "why do I do this to myself?" or "I swore the last one would be the very final one I reach for!" But what draws us back, those of us who are familiar with its wares? Is it not the ethereal qualities this cigar exhibits and compels us to visit and re-visit it time and time again?
Yes, it happened to me. You see the last one was just average so of course I had to reach out for another tonight. Coffee, a little cocoa, plenty of 'citrus twang' and very little nut or perhaps biscuit and you'd think this Monte 2 was someone's attempt at a medium-mild Juan Lopez piramide! But alas, no, it definitely was reminiscent of the Montecristo marca, especially that wonderful 'citrus twang' that oozes class in this torpedo cigar and which makes me grateful that I'm hopelessly addicted to its snare. What other cigar empowers you to suffer its disappointment and glory in its satisfaction so emphatically as the Montecristo No.2? I tell you there is no other...okay, maybe and perhaps its little brother, the Montecristo No.4.
You're going to light up a Monte No.2 now, aren't you?

Smoking one now SGA JUN 16 as I read your review and it's wonderful. I've already made a note to get another box. It's got everything you mention, the citrus, the cocoa, the biscuit and I need more in my life.

Romeo y Julieta Churchills GOM Ago 2018

I have a quarter box of 3 year-old RyJ Churchills in one of my humidors but tonight was an opportunity to see how my other younger quarter box was going. I checked my Cuban Cigar Website inventory after smoking this cigar and was amazed to find that I had acquired them 7 months ago and that they had gone past 12 months of age! I mean...seriously, where did the time go?

This RyJ Churchill started off fabulously. Pleasantly mild with obvious cherry, turkish delight and a hint of baking spice...you know, just yummy! The middle third settled into more of a quality toasted tobacco, licorice or anise sweetness which stayed constant through to the final third when I nubbed this.

The Romeo y Julieta Churchill has been a solid performer for the past few years now on our forum and I have sampled a number of quality examples, this cigar easily qualifies for being the latest addition to that categorisation.

Montecristo No.2 ULA OCT 14. Excellent. Thanks @JohnS for calling it out. An Old Faithful for sure. Cheers

 

what year did monte change to the new bands? I thought 2014 still was brown and white? I have a 6er of 2014 Monte 2 on the way and hoping they have the old bands

A great cigar week on the road. Visiting Cordova Cigars in Pensacola FL. Highly recommended. A solid humidor and I always pick one or two sticks to take home. These HUP Connie A have been excellent.

MSU MAR 18. My first from this box and a little disappointed in how it burned. It had a slight tunnel throughout most of it. If it hadn’t been for that it would have been a great cigar.

 

Enjoying the first nice evening in a while with a MUP JUN 18 Fundadores. Such a good cigar.

[MigsG]

Changed it up this peaceful afternoon with 2 cigars.

An NC(!) maduro, Oliva Robusto, which was actually quite good, for my maduro fix.

But had to finish up with an awesome even tastier '18 Cohiba Siglo I. Which had a dark wrapper, and was almost maduro-like in its flavor, dark honey, coffee, twang.

CoRo from our host, beer, playoff baseball, and a beautiful night!

I also grabbed an NC tonight. I’m trying to smoke an NC every 4 or 5 sticks just to make sure I’m not getting too myopic with my choices. Honestly, a little disappointed. I got some dark chocolate and sweet tobacco, but it ended up pretty run-of-the-mill overall. Never would have guessed the price based on the flavor.

I buried a few 1926 deep in the humidor. Have not cut one yet. I’ve been busy tasting the CC library still. It’s a hell of a distraction.

HURR BRE JUN 17 

very tasty cigar.  It has some evolution and some distinguishable flavors...coffee, honey sweetness, bread and a nice spice on the retrohale.  Courtesy of @MigsG Thank you, friend.  A good Upmann for sure.

Very good woody, Cedar smoke with a hint of apricot. 2nd half was much stronger than the first. Very smooth with a lot of legs for nearly a dozen years old...2 hours of satisfying smoke

[jtfrizzy]

This right here is a prime example of why @Jay_Habanos is such a great guy. He gifted this (amongst others) EMA NOV 07 Cuaba Diademas to me a year ago when I closed on buying my first home. What a guy. Either way, i figures fitring to pair this 12 year aged beauty with a glass of 12 year ages Calumet Bourbon. Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone and Jay thank you again for this I will be enjoying this for the next 2-3 hours for sure.

I grabbed a Siglo VI from a different box today.  This one is MOL JUN 18, and it is perfect.  Much more enjoyable than yesterday’s UAO OCT 18, and on par with the UAO OCT 17 box I have been smoking.

Does anyone know what factory MOL is?
