Monty # 5's

[Maggs44]

I was thinking of getting a box of Monty # 5

How do they compare with RASCC or San Cristobal - El Principe, (I really like both, but always looking for varity)?

Well first off, a Monte #5 is a Perlas and the RASCC & SC El Principe are Minutos so they are different dimensions (a Cohiba Siglo I is a perlas as are Punch Petit Punch, RyJ Petit Princess and Diplo #5).

Secondly, I think Monte's basically suck so I wouldn't buy them anyway

If you're hell bent on a perlas, go with the Punch Petit Punch. If you want a minuto, either RASCC & SC El Principe are your best bet.

I actually had a Monte 5 that I enjoyed very much, last night as a matter of fact. I think Monte's and Diplo's taste very similar so you could try them as well if you like the profile. I also had two El Principes last night and would probably go that route even though they are slightly different sizes, but I always have Monte #5's in the humi cause I like 'em for short smokes.

I have only tried a few of these each and so far I prefer the SC. But you might also consider Punch - Petit Coronations A/T. 4 1/2 x 40

BCJ's blow all over Minutos away. For Perlas you can't beat a Siglo I :love:

I know the sizes are not exact, the # 5's are on sale, thats the only reason I was thinking about getting those.

lets call em tpc's and skip the minut(o)e differences...

best tpc's young

sigloI and jlo patricias

best with age

boli coronas junior...#1
party shorts & sc el principe...tied for #2

only my opinion of course

monty#5's have had 5 so far from a box of feb'01 and i wouldnt throw em out...100% monty's in taste and how they age...if you can find em 3 years old #5's are a treat and nice change.

something not to pass up(if you get the chance)is a cab of ryj tpc's...the strongest cigars i have ever had...wouldnt even consider smoking them before 5 or 6 or 7 years tho.

Well, my point is that they are different sizes/vitolas by approximately the same proportions as the differences between a Corona Gorda & a Julieta so I don't think they should be lumped together for comparison purposes

Minuto is one of my favorite vitolas and perlas is one of my least favorite. To me a 4 x 40 is significantly smaller than a 4 3/8 x 42. I'm also not a fan of the Franciscanos vitola either.

Have a box of the #5s on order....Never had one but the size is what I'm looking for.....AND I DIG THE MONTE FLAVOR.

RASCC = GOOD CIGAR

Okay Gary, you send me all your SC's and I'll send you all my Montes and we'll both be happy

You just like typing "vitola". You are soooooo gay.
