GordoA box pressed gordo? Hmm.
This is classic aj, but montecristo? How can I say?
Take it at face value. A gigantic box press aj number, strong without harshness, A two hour smoke for myself.551

GordoPurchased a 5 pack of the Gordo back in 2019, decided on starting my day with this cigar and coffee. Excellent cigar on the flavor, strength is more medium full until last third, end ramps up. Sweet tobacco blended with a cashew finish, AJ did a great blend. If you let it season the cigar will provide an enjoyable smoke.551

GordoLike smoking air? This will really satisfy you then. Too lightly wrapped. Doesn’t burn evenly not what I would expect from any cigar! Waste of money!251

Gordowhat nice cigars this are, i smoke mostly Habana leaf, but when i want to change paces and smoke something light to medium body with some mojitos, this is my choice, does not compete with the Island leaf,, lets get that upfront , this is something else, nice, pretty well made and much more lower price than the Habanos.
Now, they smoke well, burn even, stay lite, and are very one dimensional, a good one direction. no roller coaster of flavors or symphony of flavors.
They go perfect with a very cold root beer and some sips of oaky whiskey.
I sure buy this when they are on sale, well worth the Jrs sale price.451

GordoOne of the smoothest everyday smokes I keep in my humidor. Beautiful construction, burn is always consistent and it smokes right down to the butt. Flavors are smooth, nothing bitter or harsh. I do get tired of unwrapping these things, but it does make for a good looking stick.551

GordoI prefer maduro everything. However, any cigar I deem worthy finds room in the refrigador, and this is one of those cigars. In all honesty this cigar's presentation - it's box pressed, smooth waxy wrapper appearance, and it's never ending presence in my orders as an add on here at JR cigars - I had to try them and they are so good I won't let my count of them get down to less than 3 sticks.551

GordoVery nice smooth smoke. First time trying the montecristo. Not a disappointment. Generally I’m a maduro fan Nicaraguan filler with San Andreas wrapper. These were very interesting and with the price. I went for it. I like a medium full body stick. These to me were a smooth medium. Nice burn nice smoke. Not harsh at all. Creamy caramel flavor little more leather on the end . Can’t go wrong with these sticks. I will be buying more of these551

GordoGreat construction, shape burn and all but It is light on flavor. Not bad by any means and would recommend, just not be for those who are looking for a mean cigar. Mine was a little damaged and still had zero issues with burn, draw or continuously falling apart which was awesome451

GordoThis cigar is quite interesting. Starting with the cold taste, one enjoys notes of chocolate, cream and very mild spice. Once lit, the cigar provides notes of chocolate, cream, spice and caramel. The draw. consistency and construction remain quite well throughout the smoke. I am not usually a fan of box pressed cigars, for the draw tends to be obnoxious. Yet such is not the case with these. They tend to be a bit pricey for they carry the Montecristo label. I purchased mine on sale.451

GordoCrafted by AJ F is better than any traditional Monte. Box pressed, full body, high nicotine level, draws & finishes. Awesome.551

GordoIt’s a great cigar. This is one of my favorites. So smooth and flavorful that I smoke them til my fingers start to burn. Draw, burn and construction are always perfect. 1000 out of 10!! Grab these when you can!! Or don’t and leave more for me LOL!!551

GordoI got these on one of JR specials. The price was right, but the quality seemed below that of other Montecristo (Fernandez) cigars I had bought in the past. Usually those cigars are as advertised by JR and among my preferred cigars. This batch wasn't quite up to par, but still quite good.Maybe they use second grade tobacco when cigars are on sale? Still about 3 to 4 stars, rather than 4 to 5 (my usual rating of this line).351

GordoThis is a pretty good blend. I like the AJ RyJ better, but the Montecristo is good too. They are completely different, so someone else may like the Montecristo more.451
