A classic, whether you are new to Cuban cigars or a seasoned pro. Gentle and not too strong with plenty of nutty flavors and a long smooth finish. “A very well-rolled cigar that loads the palate with nutty notes, graham cracker flavor and black tea intonations. A truly delicious and balanced smoke.” – Cigar Insider, June 2013, 93 Points

In today’s age of the sneaky ‘back-door smoke, the No 5 is perfect. All the greatest attributes of the longer Montecristo’s are here in abundance. Still one of the best value Cuban cigars on the market.
In essence a Montecristo No 4 in a tube – although they never seem to taste the same! A perfect gift to introduce someone to the pleasures of Cuban cigars.
It can be bewildering: brand A against brand C; vitola (size) F against vitola G. It can all be rather confusing. When in doubt, however, Romeo y Julieta is, without doubt, the ‘go-to’, especially the Petit Corona No 2. Perfect for beginners and experienced smokers alike. Not too strong, silky and full of honey-like flavors and aromas.
The ‘unsung hero’ of Cuban cigars. Hoyo de Monterrey is, with doubt, one of the finest Cuban brands and the Epicure No 2, arguably their finest creation (although their Double Corona takes some beating). The quality of tobacco used is exceptional, the complexity of flavors unbeatable. Not too strong, not too mild, Hoyo has managed to create a perfectly balanced…
Voted the World’s finest cigar in 2015 by the cigar journal and Cigar Aficionado. Legendary is an over used word but not in this case. The ‘ Monte 2’ is certainly full-bodied but not overwhelmingly so. Brimming with aromas of leather, spice and cinnamon the flavors are sweet and gentle.
This has always been a perennial favorite of ours. It is certainly a full-on cigar and, to the uninitiated perhaps a little too much, but the complex array of flavors and aromas are certainly worth the effort. A perfect accompaniment to a fine Champagne Cognac!
