Holy cows! The Montecristo #2 deserves all of the accolades it receives.
The stick had a beautiful and heavily oiled wrapper w/ no veins. A clean clip followed by a pre-light draw led to tastes of fresh cut grass and cocoa.
From the first puff to last, the #2 was a phenomenal smoke. The thing was like smoking a fine bar of chocolate. Rich and complex. The draw was medium and the aroma was unbelievably pleasant...so much so that our server commented on it.
**Toaster: If you want to taste something in a cigar, give this one a go**
The ash of the Monte was of the typical grey/white variety, but man was it solid! Two plus inches easily. After it cooled I picked it up, looked it over, and even managed to give it a little squeeze. Nifty.
All-in-all, The Montecristo #2 is running neck-and-neck with the Padron 1926 #9 as my favorite smoke to date. The ironic thing is that this particular #2 was fresh. With two year's time in the humi it would be just that much more complex and amazing.
Get your hands on one. You won't be sorry you did.
