I did not like this cigar at all I could not even get past the first quarter. Flavor was very strange I could not even place it. Reminded me of a “corked” bottle of wine. Good draw construction was nice just took it off of my wish list.

In general I have found Montes to be overrated and over priced. This cigar proves the point to me again. I have had much better smokes for half the price. The only positive that I have is that the draw was excellent. The burn and flavor just so-so.

The construction of the Montecristo Espada plays into my overall thoughts on the cigar. While the smoke had a nice woody profile and the last third was the most enjoyable. However the burn issues of the first two-thirds were just too much to overcome. I might give the cigar another chance from a different box but for now this is a cigar that I just can’t recommend. The only saving grace for me was the last third of the smoke.

Very nice smoke this one is a keeper. This one is the first out of the box for me and just like any other Monte it is a great smoke. I typically smoke the white labels and found the construction draw and burn to be equally as good. I did find it just a tad bit harsh till it warmed up for me but after that it was a pleasure. One of the better box presentations for a smoke at this price and has the wow effect if you decided to gift these.

the Espada was enjoyable from start to finish. A perfect draw, lead to notes of cedar and mild floral notes upfront and finishes with fresh earth and espresso. The burn was also consistent throughout, only have to touch up the cigar once (probably my fault when toasting, I was having a blast in the moment).

This smoke turned out to be an enigma, when I first slowly lit it, I had quite a bite. As I got into it it became much better. The only other complaint was a very coarse ash. Those things aside I enjoyed this cigar. Slightly toward the bold side, but mellow and smooth. I will probably buy it again, but I have had other cigars in this price range that seemed to burn a little better. Overall I was say it is a pretty good smoke. Wished I could say it was perfect.

The little bovada pack included in the cigar box was completely dried out so I would guess these were not handled correctly somewhere along the line.
