Montecristo No 5
One of the original Montecristos, the Montecristo No 5 is smaller than No. 1 through 4. However, this petit cigar packs a mighty punch, offering a firm draw and hints of cinnamon and graham cracker overlaid with creamy nougat and an almond finish.
A Montecristo No 5 has bold flavors yet there’s also a lightness to the smoking experience. And it is great value given its price.
Montecristo No 5 Overview
The Perla format Montecristo No 5 is a small gem of a cigar that packs a lot of flavor in a tiny package. With a 40 ring gauge and just 4” long, it is shorter than other Montecristo choices but can stand up to the rest of the Montecristo lineup in terms of flavor profile.
Smoking a Montecristo No 5
This stick is well constructed with a slight sheen on the smooth Colorado wrapper and an evenly bunched foot.
Before lighting up, a Montecristo No 5 smells sweet with hints of hay and cocoa. Some call the No 5 a perfect burn and even draw, although the trick is not to smoke this stick too fast, so it doesn’t get hot.
The first third offers a sweet taste with light notes of baking spice. Fresh cream seeps in towards the end of the first third. During the second third the spice notes linger, but creaminess and coffee flavors predominate.
In the final third, a pleasant musk mingles with leather and burnt toast aromas—all in all, a satisfying, medium-bodied smoke that takes around 40 minutes to finish.
Cigar Value
Considering its size, the No 5 packs a bold flavor punch similar to other Montecristos. There is an incredible variety of flavor in just 40 minutes of smoking time and the Montecristo No 5 is available at a very good price.
Montecristo No 5 Experience
If you’re looking for a flavorful mid-afternoon smoke to enjoy at your leisure this is a stick for you. It is medium-bodied and has an even draw, but its small size belies its heady flavor.

These are a good 30min or so smoke. The package arrived safe as usual and it had a box date of 2015 with the new bands. These have a medium brown wrapper compared to some of the lighter Monte wrappers I have had in the past but the flavor is the same it just comes on a little stronger I think because of the smaller ring gauge. Will buy again!

Excellent delivery and packaging into the UK. The best there is at doing so. Cannot comment on the cigars yet as they have been laid to rest. Suffice to say they, appear to be in first class condition.
Zayne –
The Monte 5’s arrived exactly as requested, first class delivery & packaging. The cigars were in perfect condition but I still let them rest for a week or so anyway. Great smokes for when time is short, spicy & dark cocoa with some slight evolution along the way, perfect for when time is short but you still require some full flavour. An impressive 4″ Cuban, which is unmistakably Montecristo.

Good little ‘everyday’ cigar.. Just bought a box of 25 again and arrived in Australia smelling wonderful! I have been purchasing from Luxury Cubans for years now and would not go anywhere else! Fantastic service and have never been disappointed with quality or shipping methods.. Highly recommended!

I love the Monty #5. It’s what I grab for walking the dogs, having with my morning coffee, or anytime a 20-30 minute window becomes available. These were boxed over two years ago and were PERFECT. Ordering more.
Simon –
My first order with Luxury could not have gone any smoother. Great cigars, delivery was quick, and the pricing was great. Cigars arrived in perfect condition. As soon as these are done, I’ll be back for more.

These are excellent! The size, strength, and taste are perfect for those who don’t have the time to savor a larger size cigar. Just enough spice to satisfy the palate. I am pleased with the number 5’s, and intend on purchasing more!
Javier –
Most important the cigar has been delivered as efficiently and not counterfeit cigar.

Title says it all

This cigar Is the definition of the Jay Z Beyoncé song about cigars on Ice In physical form. Smooth and easy going from top to bottom, this easy going silky sick Is great for a quick smoke or multiple sticks back to back like Michael Jordan 96-97. This Is my number one option when I want that classic montecristo flavor that will never let me down.
Paul –
Great Right off the truck
