Reyes at last! Sat on this young box for a month or two. Excellent. 

Great flavors for its youth right ?

Yes. Down to my knuckle with perfect burn, no heat, bold flavors. Damn impressive. Could be the best construction on this size vitola. Trinidad sets the bar high.

Had a Coloniales single that was so good today, I now know I need a box!

Fabulous Montrcristo No.4 from a fresh 2019 box. Recent production Montes have been superb across the board.

It’s early September with no humidity or bugs and cool temperatures so a perfect night for an RA DC

A La Fuerza. Personally, needed to sit a little more. Will re-visit in 6 months

Same thing happened with a box of them for me. First year they were very mediocre, and the last one I had was spectacular! I think dry boxing definitely helped.

Montecristo No.2 PMS Abr 2015

The last Montecristo No.2 from this 2015 box I had was in December 2019. That cigar was more towards medium in strength and body. It was much stronger in cocoa and coffee flavours than my last light-wrappered GOS Ago 2018 Monte No.2 I had around three months ago, although it had no leather or nut to it and cream was minimal. What it did have was a hint of that Montecristo citrus twang which I quite adore, but alas, it was only a hint, in comparison my light-wrappered 2018 Monte 2 examples have been more citrus-laden.

This darker-wrappered Montecristo No.2 has seemingly 'turned a corner' around the five year-mark. The coffee and cocoa flavours have now receded into the background and that distinctive 'citrus twang' has come out much more to the fore. There was no leather, nuttiness or creaminess to this cigar, however the citrus twang made it quite appealing to my senses.

In conclusion, I've had to wait five years to acknowledge that this Monte 2 has been the best one from the box thus far. I suppose that's a long time to wait, but I only 'cracked' the box open two years ago. (It's a) Pity I only have two cigars from this box left!

My experiences with Montecristo has been very limited.  I've had like 10 or so petite no 2 over the last 2 months, and I get the general flavors that many have talk about such as milk chocolate and some coffee.  A month ago I tried a petite edmundo rott and pretty much get the same flavor.  I stuck the box in my wineador at at 61% rh and been trying it once a week or so.  Each one I smoke seem to get less of that rich dark coffee and chocolate flavor and the one I tried yesterday I can taste that citrus peel.  I'm sitting there thinking to myself am i tasting things lol or is this citrus part of the montecristo profile.  I'm glad to hear that I'm not imagining things.

QdO 54 with some sparkling water. This one is ugly AF, dropped it and now it gets turned to ash.

20+ years of age .. didn’t have the legs ..disappointment..

One of the first times this year I’ve had a cigar while not in the mountains. Nice to just sit on my ass and relax for a change. These Casanovas still suck, but the whisky is good.

Was that some of the '18 batch? I'm about 8 sticks into my april LMB '18 box, the first few were amazing and the last 6 have been very underwhelming. Definitely seems like they need more time for that date richness to come back.
