You are aware that they are non-cuban Montecristo, made with tobacco from Mexico, Peru, Nicaragua, the North Pole, planet Jupiter, etc. ?

Absolutely NOTHING in commun with cuban Montecristo's? except the name.

Maybe so, but they are still good cigars. Ive had a few of the non cuban montes that have been great

Never heard of the "Memories," but am very fond of the Platinum. FWIW, I prefer the Monte White #2 over his Cuban brother. Not nearly as flavo(u)rful, but extraordinarily smooth and creamy.

YMMV

The Monte Platinums are a good full-bodied smoke! They are not overly complex, but provide lots of flavourful smoke.

Oh yes.. Non Cuban Montes... I think there a great smoke.. (yeah yeah i know, someones gonna say something about my habits)

I've just come back from the US with a load of non cuban, cuban, brands. Thought i'd give em a go. Going to do a nice post with pictures in the next few days about some of the shops I found in New England.

As are the RYJ Habano Reserve (Honduran infact), and they're a very nice cigar.

Amazingly not all cigars are Cuban!

And some of the are very nice indeed.

Lets not hate up our NC brothers.

As John Lennon said
"Imagine all the cigars, living life in peace oh oh oho"

Have I gone too far?
