I normally don’t look for an excuse to sit out on the deck and smoke a Montecristo No.2. However on this occasion I had one, I was celebrating the birth of our second son Louie Dennis Haegens! Partnering my Montecristo No.2 on this occasion was a De Bortoli Cabernet Merlot. The Montecristo No.2 presents beautifully with its perfect construction and mouth watering oily wrapper. Using my single jet flame lighter the cigar lit perfectly and as I progressed offered a gorgeous white ash only presented by the finest of Habanos cigars. Each draw offered masses of Cuban smoke with hints of chocolate, leather and finally a creamy overtone which kept me coming back for more!

  

The burn was consistent throughout the life of the cigar and as I progressed the flavours became spicier and fuller. This torpedo inundates us with rich flavour whilst maintaining a creamy smoothness and balance. Not too many Cuban cigars can match its virtues!

The Montecristo No.2 offers all the qualities of the Montecristo brand and ranks as one of the best Cuban piramides. It’s not by chance that this cigar is one of the worlds most sought after Cuban cigars. I must agree and rate this piramide highly at 9/10!
