I love me some Monte's... but I believe the Diplo 2 is more consistent than the Monte 2. YMMV

sadly Montes are all over the place, even in the same box. But a good one is maybe the best.

I remember this one time... not at band camp... I gave 8track a Diplo 4 and he thought it was too strong. 😂

True story.. 😟

Apparently, Diplos were blended as an alternative to the Monte in the sense that they originally came in all the same sizes. No attempt was made to match the flavor profile, just the size.

The monte open is the milder version of the monte blend. Everyone says they suck.

People are saying that the current production of Dip #2s are one of the most consistently excellent cigars coming out of Cuba right now. I don't go through enough cigars to say anything myself, but I do have a box of '15s that are certainly among the best cigars I've purchased this year.

With all the talk, decided to ash up:

Diplomaticos No. 2 - gifted by Frankie last May. Frank wasn't sure if this was from his 2008 or March 2013 box - regardless, it was delicious and very much appreciated. Mahalo Frankie! 👍

Thanks Bart! Was the perfect cigar to end a night of camping while in front of a fire.

[quote=MACS]That can happen year to year with some of the milder Havanas. Diplo is a French market cigar. Mild, but flavorful. Doesn't surprise me they went south early.

They may be slightly milder than Monte but they can age beautifully. Julian sent me a Diplo #1 ARA May '01 recently from winning his Motor Sports contest. This 15 year old Diplo was one of the most flavorful Cubans I have had in a long time. Thanks Julian!

08 Super Partagas

It was starting to develop a little dusty white all over. Didn't look like plume; it was a little salty to the taste. Should I be concerned?
