Montecristo White #2 review - (Retrieved from Poof)

Have never reviewed a cigar before and this won't really count as a review either to tell the truth. I'll just say what I liked and disliked about it and maybe some other newbs like me can know what to expect.

Likes

- Absolute perfect construction, as I've come to expect from Montecristos. Razor sharp burn all the way down. A lot of folks think Montes are overrated but I'm assuming that's for flavor reasons. I have a feeling they're going to be hard to beat as far as construction.

- It was very mild, which sometimes I like. Tonight I wanted something mild and I'd read reviews that this one was. It certainly fit that description. I paired it with a cup of coffee with a couple spoons of sugar and it was a very nice pairing.

- There weren't a ton of different flavors but the ones I picked up were nice. Nice tobacco flavors. There was no spice to speak of which I like. I'm not a fan of peppery or spicy sticks so this one was great in that aspect. Very creamy textured and flavor. No nicotine buzz at all. I like that too. I smoke to enjoy the flavor and aroma of the cigar. Don't care about a Vitamin N buzz.

Dislikes

Not a lot to dislike but there was one small thing.

- It didn't put off a ton of smoke at first. I like a stick that really smokes like Undercowns do. However after the first inch or two it did start to produce more.

Overall

I did enjoy the cigar the entire way down to the nub. I usually toss them with about an inch left as I like the smoke nice and cool.
If I'm in the mood for a really mild one I will definitely grab this one again.

I got a good deal on these. I picked up a 5 cigar sampler from Mike's for $35 shipped. At that price, I'll take em. However I don't think they're worth the $12-$15 MSRP. But if you find a good deal on them for $6-$7 give em a whirl.
