Montecristo C I enjoyed these but they have not been available in weeks. I tried the limitada epicurean which is also good. 4 5 1
Montecristo C Usually a good smoke. I order every two weeks. The last 2 orders the wrapper was so dry it flaked and cracked. My humidor could not restore the humidity range needed. 4 5 1
Montecristo C I thought I would give these a try based on the many positive reviews. I usually smoke Maduro Jr Ultimates Double Corona's. The Ultimates are great smokes - consistent flavorful smokes that I can always count on. These alternatives are consistent ......poor construction and harsh rather than flavorful. I was hoping to find a less expensive alternative to the Ultimates. These are definitely not them. 3 5 1
Montecristo C These are really good for a 2 dollar smoke. If i got one without a band i would say its a $6-10 nicaraguan medium smoke. Well made. Little spongy on the nub. 4 5 1
Montecristo C I've been smoking these forever no faults whatsoever perfect burn rolled perfectly never bitter wrapper never flakes never hard/lumpy superb toasty spicy flavor consistently. Not mild but not a choker... at this price you can't go wrong! I prefer this 46 x 5.62 size they are excellent. And shipping in 3 days..... that's why I stay with JR. 5 5 1
Montecristo C I always come back too these...one of the best deals going for the money 4 5 1
Montecristo C Taste is subjective. But these are good cigars. A lot better than a lot of the cigars out there for a lot more money. JoeBob sez check 'em out! 4 5 1
Montecristo C Ok smoke. Not complex in any way. You need to wedge or bullet cut it or the wrapper unfolds. Not a bad cigar in any way just a very thin wrapper . I think I like the hoyo epicure better. 3 5 1
Montecristo C Love J&R...however, these are very disappointing. I've been smoking Limitada Edicion cigars for several years and will continue...BUT... I'll never buy these particular ones again. Not good. 2 5 1
Montecristo C This cigar is pretty good OTT. HOWEVER, it's the best ageing cigar I have ever encountered. Be patient. Put it down for 1-3 years and it will knock your socks off. 5 5 1
Montecristo C Thought get I’d give these a try. The draw was pretty bad on the first. The second one I tried lacked much flavor. I’ll stick with the JR Ultimates which never disappoint. 2 5 1
Montecristo C still looking forward to receiving my order - UPS is still looking for it. 3 5 1
Montecristo C While it’s not a Montecristo duplicate, it’s a worthy cigar on its own merits - construction, draw, taste and price are top notch. 4 5 1
Montecristo C I'll get more. A decent substitute and reasonable price. 4 5 1
Montecristo C These are the best cigars JR sells. Good construction light oil finish wrapper. Nice draw... Burns even and slow. 5 5 1
Montecristo C A very good cigar. This was my second purchase of them and they are becoming a favorite of mine daily. 5 5 1
Montecristo C Of all the Limitada cigars this IMO is the strongest and is the strongest cigar that's in my personal menu. I've never had a better cigar than this different yes but not better. It's full of dark chocolate/tobacco flavor that is sweet on the tongue and tangy. Any serious cigar smoker would like this. Can't go wrong buying this one. 5 5 1
Montecristo C JR Limitada are better than the original. Great dark oily wrapper. Even burn and a nice draw. Amazing flavors. The Ecumbo is my favorite. 5 5 1
Montecristo C Get cigar. Strong flavor good draw. Well worth the price 4 5 1
Montecristo C In humidor for a month. Definitely agree with most of the reviews. I did have a bit of wrapper flaking and a harsh peppery taste for the first inch or so. It then mellowed out to make a really enjoyable smoke. 3 5 1
Montecristo C A well look alike cigar. Very good draw and stayed fresh for awhile. Stayed lit and burned clean and even. For the price I enjoyed them very much make more variety 3 5 1
Montecristo C well worth the price. As good as most cigars costing serveral times more. Will buy again and again. Makes excellent everyday smoke. 4 5 1
Montecristo C This is the best value in cigars. Rich flavor usually a great draw really great smoke for 2.50 a stick...they are a little inconsistent--some bundles are more flavorful and rich once in a while you get a more cardboard like taste but 85% of them are really excellent smokes. 4 5 1
Montecristo C I enjoy these a lot, they have become my favorite go-0to cigar, after having the best of the best over the course of many years 5 5 1
Montecristo C If you like cigars with lots of spice which tend toward strong, you will enjoy this one. I down rate the draw which also hits the construction because a good number of my last several bundles have needed a vacuum pump to get any smoke through. Given the price it's a grand cigar. 4 5 1
Montecristo C Good cigar. Good smoke, consisting, burn and flavor would by again 4 5 1
Montecristo C Just finishing my 20ct. bundle. Found problems with 5 out of 20 such as, burn not consistent. but the ones that did smoked good with a decent draw, burn, and flavor comes alive in the final third. If the inconsistencies could be worked out I would think about these for everyday. They tend to canoe and tunnel. 3 5 1
Montecristo C Good draw and construction. Horrible taste. Wouldn't smoke another for free. Not even on a dare. 2 5 1
Montecristo C My go to cigar... there are some construction issues from time to time.. but the flavor suits my taste. I wish they would keep their supply chain running.. hate the gaps in availability. 4 5 1
Montecristo C Very smooth. Good smoke 5 5 1
Montecristo C Very good 4 5 1
Montecristo C I have been buying cigars for many, many years...had many of the best, and most expensive, but these Limitada Montecristo C Cigars are goo, consistent and satisfying. 5 5 1
Montecristo C Great smoke for the price. My favorite ring size. As good, if not better than many premium cigars. 4 5 1
Montecristo C Good to pair with your afternoon beverage of choice. 5 5 1
Montecristo C This used to be my go to daily, but as I look at the stack of poor draws and canoes stacking up I realize that I need to find something else. Sure this is a good price, but the quality is suffering. If I smoke 60% of these now it is good. Might as well try something at a higher price and not toss the ones that dont stay lit or burn sideways. 3 5 1
Montecristo C It’s a very good smoke! 5 5 1
Montecristo C Nice draw good flavour 5 5 1
Montecristo C Montecito C 5 5 1
Montecristo C I do like them a little. They are a little to strong for my taste. However they are not bad. I am not sure I would buy them again. 4 5 1
Montecristo C Terrible 1 5 1
Montecristo C Excellent for the price! 5 5 1
Montecristo C Just got another bundle of these. Always like this cigar. It appears the construction may have gotten better. Nice smooth oily wrapper. I still like the old cigar band better. This band looks like a cheap money saver band, but oh well cheapen up the band to keep the cigar affordable right. Love the flavor and potency of thic cigar. 5 5 1
Montecristo C Smoked this to get a baseline 3 hrs after putting in the humidor. Draw was excellent, with the 1st third very peppery with spice and a hint of earth and dark chocolate. 2nd third the cigar mellowed out with dark chocolate notes and earth that lasted the rest of the cigar. Burn was even. Good smoke. 5 5 1
Montecristo C Not a bad cigar, but worth about what you pay for it. Draw is good, it burns fast so you know it's not a long filler. All cigars today are over priced, so finding one that is not is a good thing. 3 5 1
Montecristo C Just bought second batch of alt. limits and they are not the same as a batch I got about 3 months ago. Banding is totally different so I guess they changed suppliers. That's it for me. JR sold I hear and the quality has gone elsewhere. There are way too many options and quality is not being kept up marketwide. I am getting stale dry cigars as well as just crappy service. JR is the best at service but like I said the cigars are soooo much inferior. 2 5 1
Montecristo C I left a rather negative review awhile back but I decided to give them some time in the humidor and try again. I must say that I found them much better the second time around which was about a week. The burn is perfect and the flavor is there too. I had covid awhile back and it is possible my taste buds are still slammed a bit. So my bad last time and I really think these are pretty good cigars. I miss my old double coronas from awhile ago. 4 5 1
Montecristo C I was very pleased by this cigar . The dark and rich maduro tast and consistent flavor throughout and very consistent burn. For me this is a premium cigar at a very reasonable cost. The humidity was perfect straight out of the paper package. Great Job JR. AGAIN 5 5 1
Montecristo C I have only tried a few of the JR Edicion Limitada Alternatives, but the Montecristo C is, by far, my favorite. It has a wonderful Ecuador Sumatra wrapper leaf, a good draw, nice long ash, and I personally think the flavor is great. It's a medium to full-bodied smoke that's an absolutely fantastic cigar at a low cost. 5 5 1
