neighbor smokes monte whites...he's lookin to broaden his taste and find a somewhat comparable cigar at half the price...I have never smoked a MONTE WHITE ,so i dont know what im lookin for... any help???

I would figure the opposite of white is maduro. A maduro would be a good place to start, go with LCG series R since it smooth, though not as rich, as the Monte White. Monte White is very rich, it is nice the gentle kiss of an elegant woman. So, in all actuality as far as richness goes you definitly take a step down what ever direction you go from a Monte White, but that's not a bad thing, just a completely diferent experience. So, pick something up for your neighbor and tade for one of those Montecristos and tell us what you think.

Been saying it for years................. PUNCH every time. Period, I like the MM

Half the price means in the $3-4 range...The Monte White is a Conn Shade with Nicarguan filler/binder.

Maybe a Sancho Panza or Hoyo Exaclibur.

you could point him to a maria guerrero. thes tasty sticks are made with the same wrapper that the monte uses. my local told me that montecristo was going to discontinue the white and that altadis, who makes both of these, if i remember correctly, was going to use the wrapper from the whites for the maria.

hope i remember this right and if i didn't then i appoligize.

THANKS A BUNCH !!!!

With those taste parameters I would suggest the domestic Sancho Panza, the Dulcina in a great midrange natural wrapper. Their Fuertes, are my new favorite daily smoke.

Have a great day.
