Decent cigar but not my favorite from Montecristo. The Montecristo No 2 Gran Reserva 2005 has good flavor – almonds and honey – but didn’t wow me like other Cubans I’ve had. Construction was fine, burn was mostly even. It’s good, just not exceptional. Worth trying though.

Good cigar but expected a bit more for the price. The Montecristo Montecristo No 2 Gran Reserva 2005 delivered on flavor (cedar and coffee) and construction, but lacked the complexity I was hoping for. Solid smoke, just not outstanding. Still enjoyable.

Excellent cigar from Montecristo. The Montecristo No 2 Gran Reserva 2005 has a refined flavor profile – lots of cocoa and cream. Draw was perfect and it burned for about 64 minutes. Only minor complaint is it’s slightly strong for my taste, but overall a great smoke.
