With that much age, i don't see why not.
Unless you don't like some old Montecristos (which i'm meh to.. they just taste too similar to fresh Montecristos and i know a few people who reciprocate these feelings), i see these as a decent buy for 1 or 3.
It's a shame too because the Montecristo Sublimes is just as good as a Montecristo Edmundo with 3~ years of age for me. The flavours are more intricate.. but i enjoy it as much as the Motne Edmundo with age. which is kinda a shame..... -
They get bad reviews but from what I remember they have recently been smoked and an improvement was noted. Youtube channel, possible ayeayereviews on youtube iirc, but one (or both) of the guys are members on here:
Maybe not as recently as i imagined.
Anyway, gotta be worth a single for a dabbleComment

I nearly bought one to try a few hours ago, and couldn't find any info on them, so went with something else instead. Strange coincidence!Comment

My opinion .... for what it's worth.
If you want to, you can.
And, if you can, you must!Comment

Never smoked one myself, but I know they have had overall negative reviews. The only positive review I have seen "in the flesh" is one from AyeAyeReviews from last year, where they were pleasantly surprised that the Cigar had finally "come round".
There's a reason why the Monty D's are still for sale :-)Comment

I had a box but sold them on a few years ago. However the magic of cigars is that they can come round but they never did it for me.Originally posted by Simon Bolivar

Thanks for all the replies guys, they certainly don't seem to have received the most favourable reviews in the past, maybe ill spend my money on something a little more reliable."The best cigar you'll ever smoke is the one you're smoking at the minute" - Zino DavidoffComment

What are your alternatives? I smoked aMontecristo D Limited Edition Maduro once. It was a very good cigar.It makes my top 10 list of best tasting cigars to date, but I am notsure I would spend ?22 for one. The one I had was a gift for work Idid for a client. It made a great gift. It is the most expensivecigar in my top ten list.
From my perspective, I could buy two orthree very good cigars for the same ?22 and would enjoy smokingthree times. If you are doing it just for the great experience ofsmoking a superb cigar one time, then it is probably worth it.Comment

Cigar inspector I don't really have any set alternatives, I'm open to anything new, the wife is going to Liverpool for the weekend and always brings me back a couple so was going to try the Montecristo D (?22.99) but as you said I could easily spend that on a couple of others if anyone has suggestions. Going to get her to pick up a couple of Cuaba Divinos as I've always wanted to try them and am hoping they will be a good quick smoke for this time of the year.Originally posted by CigarInspector View Post"The best cigar you'll ever smoke is the one you're smoking at the minute" - Zino DavidoffComment
