Diplomaticos no 2 vs Montecristo no 2

[Alex]

Ive seen both these cigars being compared to each other quite often. I have only smoked the monte no2 and loved it, but i have heard people say the diplomaticos is better.
Can anyone who has smoked both give me a comparison and tell me which one they preferred, looking to buy a box but cant decide which one.

[larrysputnik]

I'm interested in this too.

I love the Diplo.

[Stevieboy]

Love them both. I wouldn't like to choose between them. The Dippys are of excellent construction, perfect draw. Highly recommended. Get some in!!

Diplomaticos #2 for me...

Or how about the H. Upmann No.2?

Don't get me started on the Uppy #2!!! The best piramide of all (IMO). I'm half way through an 06 box and they're phenomenal. So much so that a mate of mine got the exact same box-code from the supplier once he'd tried them

Ramon - are you a fan too?

It's such an underated cigar. Always seems to be overshadowed by the Monte#2..

[Ramon]

I haven't Steve, I do like Upmanns though, esp. the Mag 46 and Sir Winston. The No.2 is on my 'to buy' list.

[Stevieboy]

Ahhh - the Sir Winston. an absolute joy. I've only had a couple of these as a box is hugely expensive but I loved what I tried. Have you tried the Uppy Monarca? Slightly milder but a high class smoke

Currently ageing my Monarcas

Hard to separate them. They're both very fine cigars.

Aaaaaaa....Now I've got it..
The old dig up an old Thread and get the Forum flowing again ploy, going on
Did this many times in the Old CH. Days
Great idea tipp

On this subject ... I have some Old Dippy 2's (02's or 03's) What a fine marshmallowie, toasty, mellowed out flavour they have now.
Also got some Monte 2's (09) Great youngish Cigar ..Chocolate with a spicy nutmeg twang... gone through a box since begining of Dec 2010

Damn fine smokes, and great company when the weathers with you. My Monte's are still a little young, but should be OK (crosses fingers) this Summer.
