Why this cigar
Our House Reserve stock—carefully cellared since 2015—offers the iconic Montecristo No. 2 with added polish and harmony. If you’re reading a Montecristo No. 2 review or looking to buy Montecristo cigars UK, this torpedo concentrates aroma for a vivid opening and long, elegant development, now softened by graceful age.
Flavour & draw
Classic Monte notes of sweet cedar, cocoa and roasted coffee over vanilla biscuit and toasted almond, with a nip of black pepper and a bright twist of orange zest. Extra rest adds honeyed sweetness, silkier texture and a cleaner, longer finish. 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 classic torpedo delivering Robusto-plus presence with added finesse).
Pairing & when to smoke
Superb after dinner with espresso, vintage Champagne or a mature Speyside; a showpiece for milestone evenings.
Genuine & stored right
