Montecristo Le Cigare des Arts "A"
It received a 92 in 1998 but also an 86 in 2001. You"ll be the judge!
Well concerning the size, it is "A" of course and is 9 ¼" long.
The "A" from the "Le Cigare Des Arts" series is a bit lumpy, but with a nicely finished head. The draw is tad tight and firm. The cigar is woody and sweet, with a syrupy, marzipan taste, and a hint of nuts.
Body: Medium
Montecristo Le Cigare des Arts Belicoso Larga
The Figurado received 86 POINTS from Cigar Aficionado. It is 7" long and has a 52 ring.
This big pyramid is quite well made, but the burn is a little to hot. The Belicoso Larga begins sour but recovers with black pepper, spice and leather notes developing.
Although the Belicoso Larga Figurado beginning leaves room for improvement it ends well with a touch of spice.
Body: Medium to Full
Montecristo Le Cigare des Arts Belicoso Largos
Cigar insiders gave it a good 89. The Belicoso Largos is a typical Figurado with a ring gauge of 52 and a length of 7 inches.
The Montecristo Le Cigare des Arts Belicoso Largos (man what a name) is dark, and oily torpedo. Of course only the wrapper is oily. It is also a cigar for the sweet tooth with its rich chocolately, hints of cream, and coffee tasted.
It is sweet throughout but end slightly sour.
Body: Medium
Montecristo Le Cigare des Arts Corona Gigante
This one is a Corona Gorda, but it is not just a normal Corona Gorda, it is a Corona Gigante from Montecristo. We would have expected something better than a score of 86 POINTS.
There are not many cigars that burn so nicely and are so well-made. The only thing we noticed the metallic and sometimes metallic flavor. Otherwise it has grassy flavors and a black pepper note. The end is dry and short.
Body: Medium
Montecristo Le Cigare des Arts Delacroix
Nothing to complain here! A great score of 91 POINTS for the Montecristo Le Cigare des Arts Delacroix.
The size is Odd, no not this kind of odd, has a ring gauge of 46 and is 7 inches long.
The Delacroix is a great well balanced cigar with a beautiful and comfortable draw. It is dark brown, toothy, and has a nice white ash.
Body: Medium
Montecristo Le Cigare des Arts Rothschild
Who ever says that this Rothschild, size Robusto, has a ring gauge of 48 is wrong. It's a 50 and is 5 ¼" long. Once thing we can agree on though is that the cigar insiders gave it 87 POINTS in 2002.
This cigar is mild to medium bodied, burning with sweet, softly spiced flavors and a floral quality to the finish.
Body: Mild to Medium
