Review notes: This is an amazing smoke. For fans of the Monte #2, your loyalty will be shaken. This is an amazing smoke. It's well constructed. The flavors are more complex than the Monte and the price can't be beaten. I enjoyed this to my mustache. |

Review notes: This was a nice looking cigar. Medium brown oily wrapper, coarse, but not too coarse. Good give when squeezed but the pre-light draw was on the loose side.
Post-light flavors included a small amount of spiciness and tastes of raw pecans. There were also hints of cinnamon and leather.
The ash was flaky and did not hold well. The burn got a little crooked a couple times, but nothing I couldn't live with.
The finish was long lasting for this medium strength smoke, and the pecan, leather, and spice flavors continued through the end. I enjoyed this smoking experience. |

Review notes: I love the torpedo shape so when I had a chance to try one of these I was pretty excited. It might have been an off day but this one reminded me of a clay taste. I know these were made for a cheaper Monte #2 but stick with the Monte |

Review notes: This cigar has a lighter colored wrapper on it, but is excellently constructed. It has a near perfect draw and burn, and produces tons of smoke. It is very woody, showing some hard wood and cedar flavors, mixed with a touch of cafe au lait. It also shows a slight nuttiness, and touches of spice. A relatively cheap and delicious smoke. |

Review notes: As a frequent cigar smoker I always look for a stick which is full bodied, rich in texture, and almost melts in the mouth (if a cigar can actually fulfill the last requirement, I am not sure).
This cigar is definitely one of my favorite brands of many cubans I have smoked; its consistently well rolled, draws well and leaves me with the feeling that I should smoke another almost immediately.... |

Review notes: A very good, yet very simple smoke. Not nearly as complex as the famous Montecristo or Upmann no. 2's. Still a nice quality smoke for people who like mild cigars. |

Review notes: The initial smell of the unlit cigar will have a mild cedar-tobacco scent, leading you to believe that this cigar will be mild and wont be very complex. Once lit you find that it is definitely a medium bodied cigar that starts off nice and woody that gradually becomes leathery midway. The strong leather-espresso flavor near the end just creeps up on you, but maybe that's because it was a little windy outdoors and I had to relight it twice (a sin, I know). Will have to smoke a couple more before I form a definitive opinion on these babies. |

Review notes: I bought some of these as a cheaper alternative to the Montecristo #2, but the old adage of "You get what you pay for" remains true. There is not alternative for the Montecristo #2. This Diplomaticos was not that bad. Like any brand of Cuban cigar, the taste was unique; it was much more sharp and unbalanced. The Dip's are not as refined as the Monte's. There is a little bit of spice, hints of burnt wood, dry and slightly bitter earth, and some leather. Cigars actually looked great and had some sheen. Prelight aromas were not impressive. This is a med-full bodied cigar. The cigar is a good value and smoke. Compared to the Monte #2, it falls short. Standing alone, this cigar does well. |

Review notes: This not a well known brand to most lovers of the leaf - yet they have received some good reviews over the last 10 years. I tend to age them and it enhances their flavor. In general this brand is not as strong as some of the other Habanos, so it would be a good choice for those who are just getting started or for an early day smoke. I find that friends who are not regular cigars smokers do well with this stick and enjoy it. |

Review notes: I wanted to try these torpedos based on reviews from other sites as well as Cuban Lou\'s. A bit rustic looking, but I expected that. Tried one right out the box the day I got them. Generally not the best idea, but I could sense that good things would come with aging. Five days later I tried another and was amazed at the depth of flavor as the smoke went along. I will nurse these babies for a while in my humidor - if I can control myself!! |

Review notes: I would have to say that the Diplomaticos # 2 is one of the most underated cubans out there; it has a rich chocolatey flavor, and good down the final draw! |
