Has anyone tried these? They are supposed to be Montecristo copies. I just pulled the trigger on a bundle of 20 coronas because they were the deal of the day. Just curious if I wasted my money. Hope not!

UPDATE:

So the cigars arrived, they were packed in a box, individually cello wrapped and the block was also wrapped. No humidification device in the box, is that typical of Cigars International? That was a little concerning at first since they have been in transit for 5-6 days from PA to AZ. I took them home, unwrapped one and put them all in the humidor. About 4 hours later I lit one up.

First impression, they are rolled very loosely, I would almost describe them as kind of "empty". As I worked my way down the part where I hold it was starting to crush a little... It smoked a little quickly, I'm thinking that was due to the loose roll, I don't know.

Taste was very mild, I don't have the palate to tell you there were hints of Oak and pepper with a following of young stripper or whatever. I either like the flavor or don't. This one was overall pretty good, nothing particularly great about it, nothing to write home about, but overall I think they were worth the money for a basic smoke, after shipping I think I paid around $1.75 each.

BTW the size I ordered was a corona, 6.5" x 42.

Lol.

Not sure what to do with that


Thanks? ?

I got some Romeo Y Julieta knock offs from them.  So far they have been pretty good for a cheap smoke.  I plan on trying some different ones in the future

Cool,  thanks!

Thanks echo, exactly what I was thinking,  as far as rolling the dice. Wasn't a lot of money so, if they are decent enough,  I'm ahead of the game. We shall see,  they should be here on Wednesday. I can't say I have the most discriminating palate so...

Bump so someone can read and benefit from my in depth review

Have you ever had a real Montecristo to compare it to?

Good question!!

I probably have but it was ages ago, that's why I didn't make an attempt to compare.

I like them, just mho

I have tried the R&J version of these.



I find them tolerable.  They are not the worst cigars and I find them worth every bit of the $1.25 I spent on them.

The Original Cubans Rereleased are a little worse IMHO.



point of reference:  Compliant Montecristo Classics are my current favorite stick...

Just finished another one,  worth the money I feel.

At under two bucks a stick it's hard for them not to be worth the price haha. Plan on picking some up. Thanks for the review

Smoking one right now.  Other than the loose roll, I'm enjoying them,  definitely check them out.
