Quite deep tobacco flavours and strong.
I was hoping for great things of these as I had enjoyed the Monte "C's" so much, never bought any more than the one box of the D's.
"C's" are great if you can get your hands on them (IMO)
In saying all that it's probably a year since I tried one so they may have mellow a bit.

I Mighty Fine Puro?
Senor Monkeyboy,
I must respectively disagree with the gentleman who wrote the last post. Respectively, of course...
I find the Monty D EL05 to be wonderful puro - rich and tasty - one to be enjoyed with a clear palate, rather than after you've sucked on a lesser stick.
Now, as some of you forum old timers may know, none of us Coros ever claimed to have the descriptive powers or sensitive palates as others around these parts...
...but I knows what I likes and I likes the Monty D EL05!

Hey El Perro, let's smoke one today!

I had one last week. They are smoking really well right now. With the EL ageing and five years on top, I think they are close to their peak.Comment

I'll throw my hat in with the 'buy them' camp. I've had a few, and while I haven't smoked one in a while, I think they will become great smokes. The last one I had smoked very well indeed, but it was clear that a bit more time will do wonders.What would Lemmy do?Comment

In my experience, the 'five year aging' is hit and miss with ELs. I'm not entirely convinced it's true on all ELs, and even if it is then it only applies to the wrapper. I'm never one to get involved in wrapper vs. filler/binder in flavour, but I do think that aging only happens after a cigar is rolled and all the tobacco is on the same time frame.Originally posted by stephan View Post
Anyway, just my opinion, and I still recommend buying these.What would Lemmy do?Comment

It's a great cigar, loaded with "dark" (chocolate, coffee) flavours?Comment

They were very strong, in an EL-y type way, on release. Not unpleasant, but strong.
I have not had one for a few years, but would imagine that they could settle to reveal complexity.
Also- because they are ELs there will be fewer of the quality problems associated with buying boxes with some age. All the boxes I have seen of the D in the last couple of years have looked immaculate.Comment

They are strong, and definitely not unpleasant to my palate. I hear they are hitting their stride now and should revisit them to see. I still think in 5 years or so that these will be considered a classic. In all honesty, I'm considering picking up more.Originally posted by cesara valverde View Post
As far as construction issues, I'm noticing fewer problems across the board. I don't worry near as much about picking up small gauge cigars as I did years ago. In my experience anything from 2004 on has been relatively trouble free. And I snap up any boxes I come across from 2005 and 2007 because they have seemed to be outstanding smokes, but that's just my opinion.What would Lemmy do?Comment

I took the plunge and ordered a box. Anyone else want a good deal check out JJf's website. The offer ends today I think.Originally posted by Simon Bolivar
