Montecristo: Monte Jacopo No. 2 Cigars

Product Number: 007-003-0080

While the Montecristo "Monte" is short of syllables, it still handily manages to be long of flavor. Spicy Dominican and aromatic Nicaraguan leaves make up the binder, working in tandem to bring extra strength and complexity to the aged Dominican filler and Ecuadorian Habano wrapper.

Glad I tried, but...

Product: Montecristo Monte Jacopo No. 2
Jacopo No.2 is very beautifully packaged with oily leathery wrapping, and looks very luscious. Although the wrapping has noticeable veins, it is nothing to complain about. Burn is unsurprisingly razor sharp, and construction is perfect. THe draw is bit tight but starting from the second 1/3, it opens up a little, but still hard to draw. Unfortunately, the flavor is not exciting - very flat. I can sense some wood and, occasionally and if you focus on it, berries. It is light (or, to me, very light) in the first 1/3, and steps up to medium minus in the second 1/3. The flavor gets stronger in the last 1/3, which could be good if the flavor stays the same. Again, unfortunately, the flavor dies down and even becomes harshy to the end. Overall, this is still a good cigar, but at a price of $10, there are many out there that is better than Jacopo No.2, some of which are actually created by Montecristo. I might not cellar it, but am happy to smoke another one from time to time....Read More
