Montecristo Monte Jacopo No. 2 [4/5's]

Many consider Monte by Montecristo one of the best non-Cuban cigars on the market, including Cigar Aficionado, who awarded this blend a '93' rating. Packed full of well-aged Dominican long leaves, the core flavor maintains a toasty, earthy feel while the rich Ecuadorian Habano wrapper adds note of spice and pepper with a smooth finish. To increase the complexity, a double binder combination of Dominican Olor and Nicaraguan Corojo leaves bring forth much needed depth, creating a plethora of unique nuances that tantalize all of your senses. Well-rounded, smooth, yet bold, Monte by Montecristo is as elegant and balanced as it is powerfully complex.
