Diplomaticos no 2 vs Montecristo no 2

[daverave999]

I've never got on with the Monte 2 but I've still got a Diplo 2 I had from cj121 a while back. I shall have to give it a go. If I don't get on with that either I'll know why.

Gosh yes, an old thread.

I love the warm talk of the H. Upmann No.2 and Sir Winston. With a little age these are the best pyramid and Churchill in regular production, in my humble opinion. The Monarcas I wanted to try but out of production now. Upmann such a vastly under-rated brand.

As for the Monty and Dippy. I have never had a great experience with the Dip brand but an aged Monty 2 can be bloody good so that winds hands down for me.

I can't believe that I didn't comment on this first time around...

For the Dippy No2 v Monte No2 debate, I'm afraid I have to side firmly with the Dippy. A really great cigar in my opinion, especially with a few years on them.

Must try the Upmann No2, read lots of good stuff about them in various places, it can't be without merit.

I now know why I didn't comment on this first time around... I still wasn't a member at the time! Forgotten just how long ago 2009 is now...

Neither was I Si. And even if I had been, I couldn't have contributed because I hadn't even smoked a Pir?mides until mid way through 2010!

I couldn't agree more T!!! I adore the Upmann range...the 46, 48LE, Conny#1, Sir W, #2....all fantastic!

PS Nice one Tipp for reviving this old chestnut...great thread

[whisky77]

Upmann?

Or how about the H. Upmann No.2?

Totally agree. I would opt for the Upmann before the other two brands.

When good both can be great!

I've had a few Monty 2s and really liked them. I've had a couple of Party 2s as well but didn't enjoy them as much, think they were maybe a bit young.

I've never had the dippy or the Upmann so they will be high on my to-try list.

I love most of the pyramides but the Upmann would for me be the best , great development of flavour starts quite mild but at the end ends up as strong as a boli

You've got me intrigued with that statement! I sense some Upmann No. 2s coming my way soon...

Upmann is king!

Feeling the calling of Upmann 2's myself. Tried my first Dip. about 4 months ago but think I must have managed to select a weaker stick as I found the draw incredibly tight, definitely time to try it again!

Recently smoked a lovingly aged '01 Uppy No 2 and wasn't in love as I had expected to be. Big, old school smoke but not as smooth/sophisticated as I had hoped.
