Tell me this thing isn't a piece of art. Man, everything positive about these sticks that you've read is true. I really can't believe how good these are. If I were told I could only smoke Monte #2's from here on, I'd say; fine by me. :)

These things are in the same class as the Cohiba's and Behike's. Very similar taste profile too. Earth, coffee, chocolate, leather, baking spices and other flavors hard to pin down. Kind of like an Esplindido will vary back and forth between flavors keeping you interested, thats the Monte #2's game too.

These aren't cheap, but then you can't expect Montecristo's flag ship to be a bargain stick. These are a real treat, try them if you can.

I'd rate these a 97. I don't think it possible to make a better smoke than these.

With this first one I paired it with a glass or three of Buffalo Trace. I picked up a jug of Elijah Craig today and will pair that with a Monte #2 tonight. I'm guessing that will be a stellar combo.

:) Ready, not sure what you mean by 3 or 4?

I'm going to fire one up here in about half an hour.
