Monte Double Corona's

[gibbleguts]

I was doing some last minute shopping with my wife today and wandered into a shop I don't often visit and they had an open box of the Monte Double Corona's on the shelf. They were kinda pricey so I figured I would check and see if anyone else has tried before I pick some up. My guess is they should be fantastic but sometimes I guess wrong.

Dunno if I can figure out what a Monte DC might be, based on Trevor's page:

Was it a Monte A? If so, that's one of my favorite cigars and absolutely worth picking up IMHO.

Was it the 2001 EL? Yes please, I'd take one.

No experience with them, though.

09 ancient humidor release. I have always had great luck with all humidor release cigars is why I have such high expectations.

Yep one of the good things about high taxes up here is that stuff moves a lot slower off the shelf.

I never knew they reproduced them. I LOVE humidor cigars. It's just the price that makes me gasp for air and shit bricks at the same time :rofl:

Well our price is high but I was excited seeing them as singles from a reputable store. I go to the festival with the owner of this shop every year and he is a fanatic about the storage so that helps as well. Will have to go pick up a few just in case I guess.

Definitely don't miss out on them. These cigars are usually of excellent quality and never disappoint :thumbsup:

I completely forgot about that humidor! Very nice find! Especially as singles. Let us know how they are please!

A lovely smoke you will enjoy.

I think I have a few of these left...LMK if you want to trade so you can try one out before you purchase

EDIT: Nope...Gone!
Forgot that some of my buddies and I smoked them for a birthday celebration...Very nice sticks...Get them if you can.

 

[ciggy]

I would love to try a few of these as that's around the size I love the most. I say pic some up...can't go wrong with a Monti!

For those of you thinking about picking a few of these up on the secondary market, it is my understanding that this is one of the cigars that was recently being counterfeited and sold/gifted in the on-line cigar community.

I think gibble knows his stuff, don't you?

 

[gibbleguts]

This time I don't have to. I can trace the humidor back to Havana house. I can understand why fakes would be floating around as these are expensive. They are $100 a stick here and think it was $2500 for the humidor in Havana. With there only being 350 of them I passed the first time I saw it then never saw another while there.
