Not enough people know about the Especial line. This is a beautifully elegant cigar with real refinement. The thinner format concentrates the flavors wonderfully. A must-try for fans of classic vitolas.
The Montecristo Especial No.2 is a lancero-style cigar that showcases the wrapper leaf beautifully. At a thinner ring gauge, the wrapper-to-filler ratio means you taste more of that gorgeous Cuban wrapper — and what a taste it is. Creamy, slightly sweet, with cedar and a delicate floral quality. The draw is perfect and it burns for about an hour. If you appreciate smaller ring gauge cigars, the Especial No.2 is one of the best Montecristo lancero cigars you can find. A real connoisseur's choice.
