Is there such a thing as a Montecristo that isn't great? I haven't found one yet

The Cigare Des Artes to me are unimpressive. X

Also agree with X. Seems quite a few on-line dealers have already put that line of Montes on the discount rack.

Before I'd tried a Monte, one of my sons commented to me on how good they were ... some time later, a local store's display of Cigare Des Artes caught my eye and I bought one ...

Unimpressive is a good description ... it was not a BAD cigar, but it sure wasn't anything special and I allowed that experience to put me off trying other Montes for quite some time ... I have since found some of those others to be extemely good smokes and wish I'd tried them sooner ...

I would say that the Count isn't that great. (i.e. the movie)

The only good Montes (non-isom) IMHO are the Fer-De-lances (Peruvian blend...Niiice!), the Monte V's, and the Club line....I think I may be missing another stronger more fuller bodied line of Montes...Dunno...Otherwise, they suck

the natural wrapped line are mild but flavorful. good morning smoke.imho. the robusto has a great draw...almost smokes itself.
