Popular Post Connoisseur Kim Posted April 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2019 This Corona Extra is one of the brand new Montecristo Línea 1935 which is released for commemorates the founding of the Montecristo brand. Like Cohiba Línea Behike, Montecristo Línea 1935 is also the super premium lineup too. As soon as I light it up, it begins with dominant almond, cedar, citrus, cocoa, coffee, cream, leather, milk chocolate, mocha, nut, spice, toast, twang, vanilla and wood notes followed by slight hints of earth, hay, honey, molasses, shortbread and tobacco tastes. I am impressed that the signature Montecrsito flavour profile in this cigar is more powerful and exotic than typical Montecristo cigars. The only thing that makes me feel being challenged is I have to relight it many times due to so many severe cracks on its wrapper. -Mr. Knight Brand: Montecristo Size: 49 x 130 (Corona Extra) Country: Cuba Box Code: N/A Price: N/A Score: 96 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Thank you for the review - it sounds like a very nice cigar. I've a few thoughts, that I hope will be taken as purely for the sake of conversation... Generally, if the intent is to celebrate the founding of the brand, I think the chosen sizes are a bit off, but I understand. As for the Dumas itself, short prominentes makes sense, corona extra not as much. It's basically a robusto or hermosos No.4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I am surprised that it is also named after the author of the Count of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas. I think it should be categorised as Petit Double Corona but at the same time RyJ Petit Royales is considered as variation of Corona Extra like this cigar. It is definitely nice cigar and great pace of change for Montecristo! Cannot wait to review Leyenda on May. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 You've nailed it there. The Dumas is certainly full of flavour! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can certainly say that based on your preference/s in this marca. I prefer to think of them as just being different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleelv Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Picked up a box of these in Italy a few years back and have had one so far. Decent smoke at the time but curious to see how they fare now with a bit of age. Also curious at how it compares to the Leyendas/Maltas, but alas I only have the Dumas ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also curious at how it compares to the Leyendas/Maltas, but alas I only have the Dumas Leyenda has fuller and more flavor notes with intensity than Dumas. Maltes is the only Monte 1935 cigars I've never had so far. I really prefer Leyenda's flavor profile over that of Dumas TBH. I really like to stockpile of Leyendas.나의 SM-N950N 의 Tapatalk에서 보냄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTheLucky Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Compare please. Would you recommend buying a box ? Or a single cigar again sometime ? How does this compare to other Montes' ? Sent from my LM-Q710(FGN) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does this compare to other Montes' ? I'd recommend getting box of Leyenda instead of Dumas, since it isn't standout of Linea 1935 compare to Leyenda. Linea 1935 is stronger and bolder than other Montes IMHO. Try 6er if you want to try Dumas (same goes on Maltes and Leyenda). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
