Monte #2

[smokem94]

Truly one of my favorites, especially the 04's!!! The 05's and 06's are also great and will get better. I can't seem to keep any around for aging! I have one box of 04's and the rest get smoked up!

Monte #2's are great smokes. You didn't state what code or year it was. I have been curious as to how the 06's have been smoking.

One pairing that I have found seems to always work for me is coffee. For some reason it seems to make the individual flavors of most cigars stand out and shine even more, for me anyway. I know it's not alcoholic, but it's an alternative.

box code PUT JUN 06.

i will try the coffee!

and i will most definetly keep my eye out for prior releases. this is a dang good smoke!

06's are smoking great. 04's are fantastic. 02's are a dream

I could smoke a Monte #2 everyday without growing tired of it!

My favorite bourbon was Baker's.

I was about to say the same. If you really want alcohol, try adding a little Bailey's to the coffee. Or Bailey's on the rocks will do although I find that a little too sweet. Coffee and a well aged Monte #2, there's very little that's better than that :thumbsup:

...Q1 - what goes good with a monte #2?...

I don't know. Send me a couple of the #2's, I'll do some taste tests, and let you know the results... :wink:

So thoughtful of you Vic :rofl:

I haven't had a #2 in a while. I'm actually out. A sin, I know.

Yes, coffee and bottled water are my two best beverages with cigars.

CC's seem to have a lot more variation than NC's, IME. As to the dryness, I would guess that the humidors in the duty free shops may not be as effective or correctly set up as they should be. Just a guess...
