If so, a quick review perhaps? Thanks in advance...
Besides being aged 3 years is there anything different about this from the regular Monte No. 4? Or more specifically, what are the differences between tobacco aged for three years in a warehouse and tobacco aged for 3 years once it's already been rolled (assuming it's stored properly). I thought I read somewhere that perhaps this has a different wrapper than the regular Monte 4, but I may be mistaking this for something else. One thing I know for sure is that these are around 4 times as expensive as the regular Monte 4, so they'd better be damn good! :laugh:
this is from the box insert:
Reserva Cosecha 2002: Montecristo No. 4
Habanos SA's 2007 Reserva release pays homage to the Montecristo No.4, one of the most emblematic vitola of Habanos throughout the world. All the tobacco leaves used as wrappers, binders, and fillers for this Reserva are fom the 2002 crop and have been specially aged in bales for a minimum of 3 years. The Montecristo No. 4 reserva is conceived for the most discerning smokers and consists of only 5,000 numbered boxes each containing 20 Habanos.
fwiw- i dont think this suggests that it is the exact same blend.
there are still some of these floating around at a good price.
cheers
