My friend in the Netherlands, and Hansen I don't know why you are getting in on this yet, finally got me a box of the Montecristo #2! It took his tobacconist over a year to get a box for me. Next I think I will try for the Hoyo De Monterry Doble Coronas, anyone try that Cuban?

Strap yourself in. Its a powerhouse. Make sure you don't have one on an empty stomach. Hints of vanilla and honey.

One of the best cigars I've smoked. I smoked one on my honeymoon 5 years ago, along with other ISOMs, and I like the Hoyo best, powerful, flavorful yet very smooth. I brought back 5 and finished the last one for Y2K. I smoke Hoyos regularly (non-ISOMs)and Punchs. A definate try, IMHO.

My local tobacco guy keeps a box of these "under the desk" and always raves over them. I like smaller cigars and will never pay $20 for a cigar. They do smell great though
