I had a platinum when I first started smoking. Not worth the price IMO way way tooooo mild. But if thats your kind of thing go for it! I've got a media noche I havent smoked yet.

The Monte (jacopo, conde, etc.) was pretty good and price wasn't bad at the shpo

Why would you pay $5.00 to $7.00 a stick for "decent" or "ok.? You can pay a whole lot less and get a whole lot more with other sticks.

The sticks I got were here on CBID, so I didn't pay MSRP on them, I got the Noche for about $2.00 a stick, because they came with a 5 stick Herf-a-dor and a lighter all for $30 shipped.

I did pay about $5 a stick for the platinum, but was basing off of the price from the mothership and name recognition. So took a chance there, we will see.

They are OK, nothing special. Many better cigars at $5-$7 to be had here.

I've never even bothered with the non cuban montes or cohibas. They never get good praise or reviews here so why bother especially for the price they ask for them. If I want a cuban monte or a cohiba then I'll order some.

Not to sound like a total newb, but can we order these in the States? This may or may not be a sensitive subject anymore, I have not kept up with were things stand on diplomatic ties, other than we have resumed some relations. I did go to a website for Cohiba and wanted to order some but it said they wouldn't ship to US. That has been some time ago though.

Well you did sound like a total newb. If it's in your nature to break the law or take a chance on fakes, there's ways - or you could just be patient grasshopper.

With diplomatic relations starting to change over the last few months, you never know, and it doesn't hurt to ask..... Heck, if they could be ordered legit/legal, I want to explore the possibility. 🤤

The wife and I are exploring possibly taking a cruise or going to the Dominican Republic for vacation in a couple of months, maybe I can get a taste then. Though I have read fakes are abundant even in Caribbean countries.

If you want a Cuban cigar in the DR, order it before you go and take it with you. You have a MUCH better chance of getting a real one that way. Unless LCdH has opened a store there, but IIRC, there isn't one.

RE: NC Montecristo Media Noche - had the churchill and it was barely an average smoke which I tossed a little past half-way. Don't know if it would've gotten better if I kept smoking, but I didn't care to find out.

The nc H. Upmann Media Noche is much better. Smoked both the robusto and the toro, and they were above average and are priced about the same as the nc Montecristo.
