The Montecristo No.2 Cigar achieved a score of 96 out of 100 in a blind taste test conducted by Cigar Aficionado. This torpedo-shaped vitola measures 156 mm in length with a 52-ring gauge, featuring a box-pressed construction and triple-seam cap. The blend utilizes aged tobaccos from Cuba's Vuelta Abajo region, known for their mineral-rich soil cultivation.
Characterized by its pyramidal shape, the Montecristo No.2 delivers a combustion time of approximately 90 minutes. The flavor profile progresses through distinct phases:
- Initial notes of cedar and roasted coffee beans
- Mid-smoke transitions revealing earth tones and cream texture
- Final third introducing cocoa powder and leather undertones
Construction details include a semi-matte Colorado wrapper leaf with visible oil sheen. The cigar employs a tripa larga entera rolling method, ensuring consistent draw resistance across all 10 units in the lacquered cabinet box. Storage recommendations specify 65-68% humidity levels for optimal aging potential.
