A Montecristo No. 2 fresh out of a humidor is a compelling creation with the look, feel, and balanced weight of a Cuban masterpiece. Initial impressions unveil wood, cocoa, earth, and spice aromas, with a cold draw to match.
Once underway, the Montecristo No. 2 impresses with velvety licorice, coffee, pistachio, cedar, chocolate, and exotic spice notes. The smoke initially settles into a medium-bodied character. Next, a medley of peppercorn flavors and fruit splashes enter the mix on the way to a deliciously meaty finale.

Pure heaven after few months aging If I had reviewed this cigar when I first received it a few months ago, I wouldn’t have rated it higher than four stars. The appearance was great, but it smoked harshly, and that harshness completely overwhelmed the flavor—something I’d never expect from a No. 2, which has always been one of my all-time favorites. Now, after a few months of rest in the humidor, it has transformed beautifully. The flavor is absolutely fantastic, full of rich dark chocolate notes—smooth, yet still carrying that unmistakable Montecristo character. In the second half, a pleasant spiciness develops, adding another layer of depth without any harshness. Let it rest in your humidor for a few months and pair it with some aged rum—it’s pure heaven.If I had reviewed this cigar when I first received it a few months ago, I wouldn’t have rated it higher than four stars.
