Especial No. 1Montecristo it and always has made a great smoke. if I could give flavor 6 stars I would. you just can not get any better. the draw back is you have to be careful the wrapper is very delicate. it is not a cigar that you can hold on to. it needs to be smoked after you take it out of the box. also I find that you should be very careful when cutting . for me this is a special smoke.451

Michael S.
Especial No. 1I wasn t expecting much from this cigar as my expectation of the non-Cuban Montecristo was low but I was pleasantly surprised. In fact I must qualify my rating with the fact that I let mine dry out and they I over moistened it so I expected it would be a total loss. However I was very surprised to discover that despite the rough voyage it went through to get to smoking day it was actually very flavorful.351

Especial No. 1What bad can one say about Monteceisto or their No. 1 cigar. Montecristo has been a solid producer of cigars since the beginning. The No. 1 is perfectly smooth and consistent. Like most old school brands Montecristo doesn't disappoint but it may not wow you either. Still I'm never disappointed by smoking a No. from Montecristo or any of the established brands.451
October 26, 2015

October 18, 2015
BRIAN H.
Especial No. 1Awesome cigar with a great flavor profile that starts out a little bold but quickly mellows out to become a rich medium bodied smoke. Notes of leather and cedar dominate this beauty with creamy undertones.551

Especial No. 1Best Montecristo of the bunch. Fantastic draw and great flavor. Construction was superb. Would love to buy a box!551
October 17, 2015
Steve K.
Especial No. 1A decent cigar not overly impressed. I think Montecristo is more hype than the price warrants. I would smoke a Camacho corojo over this and better happier and still have $ left over.451
October 17, 2015
Charles W.
Especial No. 1Wouldn't say the flavor is bad. I would say flavor what flavor? just a faint hint of wood and that's it. Doesn't get interesting. This cigar is for people who have not a clue.451
October 17, 2015
Robert S.
Especial No. 1Pretty good cigar felt a little dry. Taste wasn't to bad. Would like to try again and see if it's just a bad batch.351

October 17, 2015
TAD H.
Especial No. 1Smooth easy smoking cigar. This smoke is on the slim side for me. It tends to burn a bit hot after the halfway for me. Good build that holds up well to my wet nervous bite. Mild but flavorful meaning just enough to appreciate.
I would not share these. They are to good to share.451
October 17, 2015

October 16, 2015
JESSE G.
Especial No. 1Monte is a favorite brand of the ages. They're mainly mild to medium profile is great for new smokers and seasoned vets alike This cigar has a fantastic burn a great medium flavor profile that has notes of leather and wood. I would continue to buy these.551
October 16, 2015
Karl P.

October 15, 2015
Chris T.
Especial No. 1An exceptional cigar. This well made cigar is mild and well balanced with a slightly nutty taste. A little pricey for my go to cigar but worth the price as a occasional treat.451

August 7, 2015
Steven T.
Especial No. 1I hate to say this but just like the previous montecristo cigar that I reviewed this to me was just not up to par for the montecristo brand it may just be that I don't like these cigars or that they actually were not the oremium quality that I should expect from them351
August 4, 2015
Matthew A.
Especial No. 1This cigar is worth the time smoking it. Good slow burn for me to enjoy it. Medium body/flavor overall. I would recommend these to anyone.451
July 24, 2015
David Y.
Especial No. 1One of my favorite montecristos. A medium bodied cigar with lots of flavor. It's a very long smoke though so set some time aside to get through this one.551
July 8, 2015
Cameron W.
Especial No. 1If you like mild cigars this is a must try. Very smooth and creamy. Soft woody core with a nice pepper to balance everything out with some coffee notes toward the end. I'm generally not a fan of mild cigars but this is one I look forward to.451

August 30, 2018
William N.
Especial No. 1Great cigar! the first thing that instantly struck me was the nice aroma it let off. The burn was razor sharp (i had let them rest for a while) and the construction overall was almost flawless. It had a mild to medium body to it that was incredibly smooth as well. Even with the price it held its value and I got my money's worth!451
August 16, 2018
Shehab Z.
Especial No. 1Good for a hot day on the golf course or somebody new to cigars. A little too mellow for my taste451
August 12, 2018
Thomas B.
Especial No. 1This is a really mellow cigar the flavor profile revolves around a rich cedar sometimes overpowering the spice and a subtle spice.
The burn and draw are on point no issues whatsoever and the smoke is very creamy.
This is the type of cigar that you can sit back uninterrupted and enjoy!551
August 8, 2018
Thomas P.
Especial No. 1As much as I love the #2 I find it hard to like any other straight Monticristo. I like all the AJ cooberations but that is AJs contribution.351

Especial No. 1What can you say? It's a Montecristo. MC is my favorite brand as long as it's the traditional mild mellow or mediums. Not so crazy about their M-F bodied. I have these in my humidor alongside the White Label.551

Andrew C.
Especial No. 1I have had a many Monte Cristo before including the Famous Monte Cristo No.2. personal opinion you can never go wrong with a Monte. This specific stick is beautifully made and blasting with flavor...only down fall I can remember from this stick is it didn't produce that thick Creamy smoke.

Especial No. 1Thanks to JR Cigars I've smoked a lot of excellent cigars way above my pay grade. And too I've found the rare crappy roll in most of them!

Especial No. 1Lately the draw on the Montecristos I've had have been a little looser than expected. The construction is good and the flavors are consistent. Plenty of spicy notes especially toward the end. This cigar has a nice ash which proves how well made it is.451

Especial No. 1This is montes attempt at a fuller cigar. A nice smooth creamy smoke that's a solid medium body and pushes medium full at times. The flavors are mainly woody tobacco and sweet cedar. Not a bad smoke but for the price I'd get something else.451

Especial No. 1Given the combination of finest wrapper binder and filler and one of a kind blend the Montecristo Classic Yellow #1 stands out as a complex and flavorful smoke on the milder side with bountiful taste notes and an easy draw.451

October 18, 2015
Adam L.
Especial No. 1Really enjoyable cigar. The construction of my particular cigar wasn't great but it had a really good flavor. I have no idea if it was just my cigar or if they all have construction problems. Very likely it was just the result of some not so delicate handling. Other than that though I did like this cigar.451

Jason K.
Especial No. 1This is a favorite that I try to never be out of in humidor.
It has excellent construction and looks beautiful .
The draw both cold and during smoking is just about perfect!
Flavor is mild but you can taste leather and white pepper throughout the smoke and speaking of smoke it's plentiful and the burn is as close to perfect as you can get.
Very consistent
Definitely a Go-To!
Great cigar551
