Why this cigar
A scaled-down take on the iconic No. 2, built for under-an-hour enjoyment without losing Monte’s depth. If you’re reading a Montecristo Petit No. 2 review or looking to buy Montecristo cigars UK, this torpedo concentrates aroma for an expressive start and refined, steady development.
Flavour & draw
Immediate Monte richness: sweet cedar and cocoa over roasted coffee and vanilla biscuit, with toasted almond, a nip of black pepper and a bright twist of orange zest. The tapered head focuses flavour early, then opens into thick, cool smoke with an even burn and a confident, easy draw.
Size guide
Compare this vitola: Robusto • Churchill • Toro (a “short torpedo” that delivers Robusto-like presence with a more focused finish).
Pairing & when to smoke
Excellent after dinner with espresso, a mature Speyside or vintage Champagne; equally at home as a polished pre-dinner choice.
Genuine & stored right
For Cuban cigars: EMS-stamped and sourced via official UK channels. All cigars are stored in our London humidors under stable conditions (~65–70% RH).

“Toasty and nutty, this short belicoso is brightly accented by touches of citrus, chocolate and graham cracker. Though the burn is a tad blistery, the draw is open and full.” Cigar Aficionado (92 Points).
