Montecristo White

11-16-2009, 10:13 PM

Anybody else here like these? Just had my second one tonight. Had a Toro size about 6 months ago, very good. Was browsing a local shop yesterday and decided to pick up 2 more. Only had the Especial #1 (6.6 x 44) in stock. I usually like the larger RG, like the Toro or the Rothschild. Decided to fire it up this evening. Very nice, everything and more I could remember from the last one. Smooth, tasty, mild-med, and very relaxing. Too bad these aren't on Cigarbid that much, I'd love to be able to pick up a couple 5er's on there. Any other fans?

I really like these ... try to keep some around. Great to give to inexperienced cigar smokers, but tasty for a more experienced smoker as well.

I did a search and found a review. Seemed several people didn't like it as much from the comments. I really enjoyed it, excellent burn, taste, etc. I can agree that they are high in price, probably more so than they should be. I'm usually a Med-Full (mostly Full) smoker myself, but enjoy the occasional lighter smoke. This one tonight just seemed to hit the spot for me.

I never buy these, but now that you mention it, I remember house sitting back in college for a guy that had a huge humi full of NC montes, (it was that White House humidor. you know the one, lol) anyhow I sampled many cigars from the White House collection that week, but I remember the MC white label being quite good. might have to pick one up.

I haven't had one in awhile but from what I remember, they use to be my morning go to smoke. I have one more I think... I want a few more.

I agree with Huy. They are a great morning smoke. They have a fair amount of complexity and a lot of flavor.

When I first started smoking this was my go to. A very nice mild smoke.

11-17-2009, 12:29 PM

I think these are great smokes as well. Milder in body with a good amount of flavor.

Think I'll try to pick up a couple more next time I drop by the B&M.

I find the Padilla Hybrids very similar to the Montecristo Whites in flavor profile, but at a fraction of the cost. Check 'em out.

I enjoy them as well. Great morning smoke!

This is the only Monte I have smoked....great cigar indeed and it was quite smooth.

I picked up a couple 5 packs of Montecristo Media Noche, and a 5 pack of the Platinums.
I like the Media Noche, the Platinum is good but I got one hell of a nicotine buzz from it.
Smoked it about 4 hours after eating though, may have played a role in that.

They look like nice mild cigars.

love these!

eboniknight · 11-20-2009, 11:41 AM

Oh these are pretty decent smokes. I have a few resting in the humi now. Can't wait to get at them!!

When first starting out with cigars, this is the stick that hooked me.

Had to do it, grabbed a 5 pack of Monte White Toros this evening. The wife wanted to go to Burlington to check out a couple stores. Gave me a chance to walk around in JR for a bit. $30 for the 5 pk and a torch lighter.

I just tried 1 of the real small one's and liked the flavor. I'll probably buy 1 of the big ones but they are pricey.
