Certainly good but overpriced

I smoked a Monte #2 last night that I'd been saving for a special occasion. To my taste, it was nearly identical to the RyJ Habana Reserve torpedoes. The RyJs happen to be my favorite cigar as of right now, so the Monte was a good smoke, but I expected more given how much these go for.
I suspect that if I had had the Monte first the RyJ just wouldn't live up to it, so thank God I'm cheap.

Despite the listed naysayers this cigar is a 9.6

The absolute epitome of a great tasting medium strength cigar. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!

Disappointed

This was my favorite cigar. Now they have cut it doen to 4 1/4", but still call it a 5" cigar. It's not worth the price

Stopped smoking after one-half inch

I paid $12 for a stick at a store because I had heard and read so much about the famous Montecristo #2, how smooth and mellow it was, how tasty it was. Wow, was I disappointed! No smoothness, no creaminess. Instead, bad (read: difficult, tight) draw, strong peppery aftertaste, spongy construction. After one-half inch I was fed up, put the stick down, and bought myself a Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve to get the bad taste of the Montecristo #2 off my palate. Rocky does not disappoint. The nastiness of the Montecristo #2 was soon just melting away as I was really enjoying the flavors of the RP Olde World Reserve.
