Montecristo No.4 - 25 cigars [5.1 x 42]
The Montecristo No.4 is full of flavor, warm and mellow when properly aged.
- • The thin ring gauge means this is a very direct and rapid burn and its responsiveness does not wane as it burns.
- • A rich and exciting blend like this needs some age to be at its best.
Wonderful tastes throughout to delight the palate. Always a consistent burn and draw.
Presentation
The Montecristo No. 4 comes in a dress box of 25 cigars with Habanos Packing Code CB-UW-C/L-12,13-n-25
Dimensions:
Length: 129mm
Diameter: 16.67mm
Ring Gauge: 42
Shape: Petit Corona/Mareva
Appearance:
The Montecristo No. 4 is a very well constructed, very firm and well packed. Incredibly beautiful maduro wrapper, oily and silky.
Smoking Notes:
Before lighting up
The cigar is very well constructed, very firm and well packed. Smooth, oily, chocolate wrapper, with little veins. Semi-box pressed with a lightly colored wrapper and nice cap.
Burn/ Draw
The cigar lights up very easily. The draw is on the firm side, as expected from the beginning, but it's not unpleasant. Razor sharp burn.
Initial third:
It is medium bodied in the beginning, with strong taste of earth and wood, with hints of spice.
Middle third:
The cigar loads the palate with nutty notes and a hint of graham cracker. The draw is slightly looser, but still firm. The flavors are more complex, with the earthy flavor being more intense. The tones of creamy coffee and caramel appear.
Final third:
Spice, wood, cocoa and fruits, all well balanced, deliver full and balanced creamy flavors. A lot of aging potential.
In summary: completely full Cuban flavors of mocha and spicy robust zest.
Smoking time:
45 - 60 Minutes

Everything You Want From a Cigar... and Online Store
, 6/1/2018
By JC -
Visited Cuba last year and really started enjoying cigars. Problem was I went through the Cubans I brought back pretty darn fast and started craving more. Enter Cigar Terminal. After a lot of internet research CT seemed legit. About 20% - 25% more than you'd pay in Cuba and, of course, shipping. If the product was legit - still much cheaper than a plane ticket!
I ordered the No. 4s because... they are darn near the perfect cigar; smooth, medium/full bodied, perfect construction, not too long a smoke and my dilettante friends love them too. (Also, not too expensive for a trial run.)
Cigar Terminal is legit. What's the worst that can happen with mail order? Product never delivered? Fake Cigars? Not a concern here. Delivery did take a while and the first box that arrived was moldy... unfortunately mold got into the feet as well as wrappers. Hey - it happens with cigars. I contacted Cigar Terminal's customer service and, no problem, I shipped the box back and they sent me another and reimbursed my shipping. I had to wait a bit longer but was soon enjoying my box of pristine Monte 4s.
Stuff goes wrong but Cigar Terminal is legit and in the event something does go wrong, they'll make it right, no hassle.
As for the No. 4s... If you haven't tried them, what the hell are you waiting for? I know I ended that sentence in a preposition and all but, damn, son you've probably never had a finer cigar. If you've already tried them, you know what you're getting and CT will get it to you the way it's supposed to be got. -

Cannot go without

By Maximus - These are my go to smoke. Of all the cigars that I buy from Cigar Terminal, I come back to these again and again. I pass them out to friends and they thoroughly enjoy. Perfect for in between food courses during the holidays. I’m beginning to think that’s why my family always wants the holidays at my house!

Creamy but tight
, 7/13/2017
By Mark - I got this as part of the sampler. Tried it two days after arrival so the tight draw may be a result of needing to rest for a few days. I will try the 2nd stick in the sampler in a week or two and see if the draw changes. The flavor was creamy but the tight draw made it difficult to enjoy.
