I haven't had any problems with 2019 to present production ones at all. Happen to recall what year yours were? 2019 I believe. Seems like several were under filled and the box was going through a “sick period” for a while. A handful of the ones I had near the end were solid, and I’m pretty sure the box just probably needed some more down time to sort itself out. Will add a box of monte 2s to my purchase list and will give them another shake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a big fan of the monte profile, though at this point I’ve preferred the Edmundos. Agreed, the Edmundos are terrific and similar in taste... seem more consistent... but, that said, a recent no2 from 2020 I had was better. Sharper flavours and deeper cream and chocolate. Best no2 I've had in years. One of the best Montes I've had period. It may be a good time to stock up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cnov Posted September 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2021 My first Club Allones from the box, terrific from start to finish, didn't require the perfect draw until my fingers got hot! I'm fairly new-ish to cigars (huge hiatus after first getting into them) and this was stunning. First day of our holiday, sat on the balcony listening to the sea, it surely doesn't get much better. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post billyh79 Posted September 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2021 I saw Rob mention rum earlier and got me thinking… time for a tasting. Belicoso is a MSA DIC 17 Digging into the singles box for final round of Ryder Cup. I have a couple of these mid 2000s No 2’s left. As good a day as any to smoke one. 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, I think the diplomaticos has the upper hand. There’s a nice twangy breadiness that I get out of these which is slightly sweet - I think that description of partagas sweet bell pepper does it justice. Good cigar, 4.15/5 I'm with you on this one. The last monte 2 I had was meh, while the dips have yet to fail me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post karp Posted September 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2021 San Cristobal la Fuerza… what a great smoke! Delicious pancake and molasses, with some floral notes to boot. Perfect conical burn and construction. Under appreciated this brand until now. 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post smbauerllc Posted September 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2021 Dunhill Signed Range Seleccion Suprema LE Milder than I typically prefer, but very tasty and smooth. Perfect draw, burn and construction Pretty pricey, wont be buying any more, but was part of a nice one time splurge. Very good smoke though La Duena Petit Lancero No.7 Pretty tasty although a bit ordinary if that makes sense. Excellent draw, burn and construction Probably not something I'd be interested in buying more of. Was a pretty good smoke, but just didn't do it for me. Montesino Diplomatico Pretty tasty but again, just sort of ordinary and didn't really do much for me. Uneven burn, tight draw, and slightly peeling wrapper didn't help much either 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
