Hmm, I find Montecristo and H. Upmann to be the worst marcas for inconsistency - excluding the Montecristo Especial # 1 & 2 and the H. Upmann Sir Winston which are almost always excellent to incredible, but other than those the rest of the brands I rarely find great boxes, still. Romeo y Julieta has massively improved in the last few years, I consistently find incredible boxes of even some vitolas that used to be guarenteed crap, such as the RyJ Belicosos.. wow, I was blown away by them recently, along with regular batches of absolutely stunning Churchills, Petit Chruchills etc. Vegas Robaina Unicos of late have been beautiful cigars whereas in the past I would avoid them like the plague. Montecristo however.. still regularly finding very bad quality across the board (Especial excluded). The last 5 times I've tried Upmann No.2 from different boxes over the last few years, many with great construction and rich oily wrappers.. so bitter and badly blended. I've found the same with the Magnum 46 and some others too.
Send Ken to Sweden/Finland in january and he will understand why that size is needed :D
I love the petit Churchill sitting on the deck under Rob the whole time! Lol.
Love both cigars.
A great Cigar. one of my go to's.
Ask Ken to try the 08 Montecristo Petit Edmundo...this stick will blow his mockers off...

Funny Y'all in your Winter gear! Walked 4 miles in 90+ F today. Had to settle for a Alec Bradley later on though :(
I admit Ken has a more sophisticated palate than me, but I love this size
Ken gets on my nerves.
