If its the same thing, whcih I believe it is, I tried one of the Montecristo De Arts (or something like that)..Lots of cocoa taste, smooth...This was the first time I had a Montecristo (NON ISOM) that I enjoyed...Only problem I experienced is that the cigar had a very tight draw..maybe it was just a fluke..Otherwise, its a good cigar but IMHO overpriced
