In a recently trade with emgjet, he generously sent me a Montecristo ISOM as a bonus 'gar.

For the sake of my humidor inventory, I wanted to find its exact name...but I'm hard pressed.

It looks to me like it'd be a rothschilde or robusto size, but I can't find anything fitting that on any website. The only robusto size Montecristo makes is an Edicion Limitada, but that isn't right because mine doesn't have the extra band on it, it only has the plain brown-and-white Montecristo brand.

I'd say its roughly a 50 or more ring gauge, and its about 5 inches in length.

Anybody have an idea?

That sounds like you are now the proud owner of a Montecristo Robusto Millennium Reserve ... 4 7/8 x 50 --- and they come in a ceramic jar that sells for around $800 for 25 ...

... and knowing emgjet ... that's probably what it is ... LOL!

If its a millenium, it should have 2000 on the front of the label.

This is a tough one ... ikonoklast7 stated in his first post that it only has the plain brown-and-white Montecristo brand ... but yet, the only Monte I know in the size he stated ...

... is the Monte Millennium Robusto ...

Without knowing the exact size (and it seems ikonoklast7 is just estimating) we may never know for sure ...

... until emgjet sets us all straight ... LOL!

I sent emgjet an email about it...but I think he's on vacation or something right now, so he hasn't responded.
