I haven’t had one of these in ages, they used to be one of my favorite cheap cigars.

Nice budget review Walt. I haven’t had luck with the few budget smokes i’ve tried. I’ve discovered some shops that hand roll smokes on premises in nyc that I’m going to start checking out. They offer much better prices than the fancy boutiques around here. Congrats on the wedding as well.

As always, nice review. Very attractive price point as well. Either I’m an idiot and just noticed, or you started putting a time stamp on the pictures between segments. Very cool addition.

The Napolean grande is a mixed filler Cuban sandwich type cigar that comes in a bundle, I’m not a fan of those. For me, the best in the Montesino line is the Diplomatico maduro (42 x 5.5). The blend on the No2 seems different than the Diplomatico and a lot less enjoyable. (I’m not sure if it’s in fact different though.)

The Diplomaticos can be found for about $2.20 a stick (if you buy a box) which I think is an excellent value for people looking for a straight up mild broadleaf maduro. These cigars are probably not for everybody but for ~$2 a stick I think they are worth a try.

Thanks for the review Walt!
