"Welcome to cigar heaven"

The No. 3 is by far my favorite cigar. Not too long, not too short, amazing flavor and always an even burn. I'd smoke them more often if I could afford too, which is why I only buy 5 packs.

"One of the best!"

This cigar is a classic and a must smoke! It burns and pulls very good and the taste is wonderful I would say a cross between vanilla and a woody flavor. I always keep these in my humidor.

"Excellent cigar!"

To start off with I like mild cigars. At first I was a bit apprehensive about spending $5 for a cigar with a big name. Big names do not always live up to their hype. I tried other brands, but could never find "my" cigar. On top of all this you need to make time for a big cigar, which I do not always take. My "small" cigar is Fuente's Cubanitos (consistent, good mild taste). The Montecristo #3 exceeded my expectations. It is very mild (milder than the Cubanitos), has a good draw, beautiful even grey ash and when properly carefully smoked, keeps its mild taste for the 3 quarters of its length, after which I dump it. (I think any cigar should not be smoked for more than 3 quarters of its length). My 2 regular choices: Montecristo #3 and Fuente Cubanitos. But at the end of the day it's always a matter of taste, like it is with wine.

"The best................"

Had no comparation. Unique.

"Superb!"

So far the best cigar I have ever tasted. As mentioned before, a cigar is like wine: can be discussed, but not argued. It is a matter of taste after all has been said and done. This cigar is very mild, consistent to the end, easy draw, etc. It is not really cheap, but then offers very good value for money spent. If you do not mind $5 for a stick, then go for it!

"Total Disappointment"

One of the harshest...most unflavorable cigars I have ever smoked - if they were free I would pass.

"Horrible"

Extremely disapointed, horrible taste, smoke hurts your eyes, Monty should be ashamed to put its name on this dog rocket.....

"Good smoke...not great, but very good."

Very nice cigar. The draw was good, the smoke and ash were good as well, The taste varied from very smooth and light at the beginning, to a little harsh and inconsistent in the middle, finishing very smooth and mild. The burn was a lot more uneven than I was expecting out of a $9 cigar. I like the Montecristo #1 better.

"Didn't live up to it's image!"

Of course one needs to form their own opinion of any stick, but I find this legandary name to be quite underwhelming. Taste was average and a bit harsh with no real character, body or smoothness. Burn and all other elements were fine. With so many choices out there... why spend "good" money on these? To impress people? Impress them with taste!

"Good Dominican Connecticut Shade Cigar!"

This was a good cigar, especially if you like them mild. I am a fan of some of the spicy Honduran cigars that are medium bodied, but I am a bigger fan of the Connecticut shade wrapper cigars and this is one of them. Like many Connecticut shade cigars it was mild and flavorful with hints of vanilla. As with many Connecticut shades it does not have a strong smelly aroma, but a mild sweet vanilla like aroma, even when a little tar builds up at the end.
