The AJ Fernandez Monte by Montecristo received a superb 91-rating from Cigar Aficionado in their February 2018 issue! AJ Fernandez, master-blender extraordinaire, puts his spin on another legendary label with the Monte by Montecristo by AJ Fernandez Cigar. The long and confusing name aside, the Monte by AJ, for short, gives us AJ Fernandez’s take on the Monte by Montecristo line, and his take is, in a word, strong. This mature, box-pressed, full-bodied cigar features a Dark Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and Criollo ‘98 binder with a Criollo ‘98 and Piloto Cubano Dominican filler that have been aged to perfection.

Muy buen cigarro
Este es un muy buen cigarro. Una construccion excelente, un poco aceitoso por afuera y bien apretado por adentro. Se fuma casi sin esfuerzo y con mucho humo para degustar con un buen whisky.

Solid Friend
These sticks never disappoint. Monte and AJ have come with an excellent combination of tobacco fillers that deserve great recognition. The Corona size makes the perfect time for smoking a great cigar,

Missy E's review
Starting with a cold draw, got some hints of semi sweet chocolate. Once lit, got some notes of nutmeg and pepper. Some cherry developed half way through. This cigar packs a ton of intense flavors. Probably needs a bit less fillers or to be less tight cause the draw was a tad hard to pull. Still recommended thou.

Love the wrapper
This Monte by AJ has a dark habano wrapper which is gorgeous, the burn is perfect making this one a damn fine cigar. A nice mild flavor that did not get bitter at any point. I have been smoking two a day since I got them. Nothing less than expected from a Montecristo.

Nice smoke
Smooth from start to finish, lots of mellow, flavorful spices. Solid white ash. Flavorful and strong, but not overpowering. Somewhat of an uneven burn at the end, but a very enjoyable cigar overall.

Monte by AJ
The draw on these was a bit hard but not too bad. That shouldn't happen, especially on a corona size. Regardless, this is a good cigar, with solid flavor that changes as you go through the stick. It is a good one for the price.

Fresh sticks
I got myself 5 sticks. They came fresh and ready to be smoked. I just finished my first one. A very smooth medium to full flavor cigar. Excellent aroma and slow burn to enjoy plenty. AJ did a wonderful job on this cigar.
