Smoking
Smoking a Montecristo No. 2
Setting alight a Montecristo No. 2 is a highly anticipated moment that announces your arrival to the cigar world. As you settle into the hour-plus smoke, appreciate the experience by taking note of each step of the journey.
Appearance
There is much to behold with a Montecristo No. 2, and it is easy to get lost in its alluring shape, understated band, and oily Colorado wrapper leaf. It is highly recommended to give the cigar a once over before sparking up. This allows you to admire the craftsmanship. You can also perform an authenticity check and look for any damage to the outer leaf if you have not already done so.
Initial Impressions
A properly humidified Montecristo No. 2 feels hefty yet balanced in the hand, with the outer wrapper that is both velvety and pleasing to the touch. A sweet, woody, and spicy aroma joins the cold draw, which teases the senses with cocoa, espresso, licorice, and nut flavors.
Take your time with the cigar lighting ritual and enjoy the dancing flame and billowing white smoke that emerges from the foot of the Montecristo No. 2. The draw is firm yet effortless, allowing the cigar’s initial wave of flavor to easily find your palate.
Aroma
The Montecristo No. 2 offers up touches of wood, spice, sweet cream, anise, and wet hay aromas that only intensify once the cigar is underway. Thick aromas of earth and green chestnuts join the mix to create a scent that is heavy yet intriguing. While the aroma can be off-putting for the uninitiated, most will find it pleasingly nostalgic and inviting.
Body and Taste
The Montecristo No. 2 begins with a gentle, mellow character, touched with hints of earth, cedar, coffee, vanilla cream, mocha, and all-spice. The smoke becomes meatier and more complex towards the midway point, with a slight increase in body. The addition of dried fruit, licorice, dark cocoa and red pepper add to the complexity and pave the way for a bolder push towards the finish.
Finish
The Montecristo No.2 builds to an impressively refined grand finale that is never overly boisterous but always entertaining. A similarly structured spirit, such as brandy, rum, or scotch whisky, helps at this point to draw out every lasting bit of taste and body. Each of the Montecristo No. 2’s complex flavors make a curtain call before coming together for one last flourish that brings the medium-full smoke to a satisfying close.
Post-Cigar Bliss
Part of the charm of a Montecristo No. 2 is that it delivers an incredibly flavorful and rich smoke yet manages a balanced character throughout. With its idyllic blend of flavor, body, and complexity, it is easy to see why the Montecristo No. 2 maintains its fame. While not for all tastes, the Montecristo No. 2 is a wholly engaging experience that shows off the very best Cuba has to offer.
Value
Cigar Value
Montecristo has earned the right to be called a legend, yet how does it translate to value? The good news is Montecristo No. 2 cigars are not the most expensive Cuban cigars available. The bad news, however, is they are by no means cheap. Yet, there is great value to be found in a Montecristo No. 2. The level of quality of the smoking experience is tough to beat.
There are alternatives to consider if you are on a budget or want something a little different. The H. Upmann No. 2 is equally gratifying and easier on the wallet. For a shorter smoke, try Montecristo Petite No. 2 cigars. Of lesser-known shaped cigars, the Vegas Robaina Unicos is favored by Montecristo No. 2 fans due to its immensely flavorful and rewarding smoke.
Experience

Product Description
There is no other cigar in the world as famous as the Montecristo No. 2. While other well-known Cuban names such as Cohiba, Romeo y Julieta, Partagas might rank amongst the greats, none can compete with the legend of the Montecristo No. 2.
Is it worth the hype? Here is the Montecristo smoking experience.
Montecristo No. 2 Overview
The Montecristo No. 2 is a cigar smoking experience that has become a rite of passage for all cigar aficionados.
The Tobacco
Binder and filler tobaccos are selected from Cuba’s famed Vuelta Abajo region located in the province of Pinar del Rio, where climate and soil are ideal for growing rich and flavorful tobacco. A distinctive Colorado wrapper leaf is added to the blend to finish off the Montecristo No. 2’s signature character.
The Factories
Montecristo’s high-grade tobacco is not destined for a single “Montecristo” factory but several factories throughout Cuba. The H. Upmann factory in Nueva Vedado near Old Havana, however, specializes in crafting the Montecristo No. 2. Master cigar makers are skilled in creating elaborate cigar shapes. They assemble the tobacco and place the cigars in specially designed molds to help maintain the No. 2’s unique shape.
The Size and Shape
The Montecristo No. 2’s iconic “pyramid” shape and balanced 6 1/8” x 52 size not only makes for one of the most recognizable cigars in the world, but the shape helps amplify the tobacco’s richness and complexity as the smoke meets your palate.

Age Verification
We are committed to only selling our products to adults who meet the legal age requirement to purchase

verification company, to assure that you are of legal age to purchase our products and are who you say you
are.
How does age verification work?
Age verification services use multiple trusted data sources containing billions of public records to return an age validation based on the personal information submitted by you. This service is specifically designed to validate and protect your identity while maintaining the highest level of consumer privacy when processing online transactions.
Access to the public records allows them to validate the information you provide and in some cases,
depending on the nature of your purchase, present a series of multiple choice questions based on non-credit
related (“out-of-wallet”) historical facts about you as an individual. These facts are obtained by
instantaneously scanning billions of public records from trusted data sources containing information that
would not generally be found in your wallet if lost or stolen.
What happens if I cannot be verified by the age verification process?
A small percentage of shoppers may not be verifiable due to limited availability of publicly available
information contained within Age Verification databases. If this happens, we will attempt to contact you via
phone and email to verify your age. To do this we typically require a copy of your driver’s license or some
other form of government issued ID that verifies your date of birth.
