Hi all. I've been lurking on this board for about a year now and just had to make a comment about my smoke last night. I had a Monte #2 isom in my humi for about 2 years now and sparked it up last night. The night before I had a Monte torp Dominican to compare the two.

All I can say is that they shouldn't have the same name on the band. This was my first #2 isom, but not my first isom. The cigar was super smooth not overly spicy like the Dominican version. It had a hint of vanilla and kept my head spinning from the mid point down. The Dominican Monte's in my opinion are overly spicy, have no balance and are highly overated.

If I could afford it(or be able too get them on a regular basis) I would smoke them every day.

aloha delagraz what was the occasion...

Que pasa, The occasion was I won so many cigars here within the last 2 weeks that I was afraid it might get crushed!

work's for me, yes it's better ta burn your stash than ta crush'em...

Montecristo #2 ISOM-my personal favorite!

The funny thing is, they are not the most expensive ISOM cigar...there are many that are higher.

I agree, my favorite ISOM.

They are fairly priced and very good. But there are just as good or better ISOMs for less.

I don't know about the Monte #2. I know what it looks like, but I have never smoked one. I have smoked MonteCristo White and thought it was very sophisticated. I got it out of the cigar diary. I thought over all most of those smokes were too spicey.

The monte #2 is one of my all time favorite cigars as well, and you're right, the dominican variety is not even close. Although, Altadis does put out some better varieties of their Montecristo line (White, Platinum, Series V, etc.), none of them can hold a candle to the cuban grown smoke.

Stric9 is a Monte #2 "slut" LOL

Maybe...

So...

i have to agree here as well the monte #2 is one hell of a smoke.

a great brother of the leaf gifted me one a few weeks ago and it was absolutely awesome. next isom order is most probably monte #2
