8 ReviewsA well-made petit corona that burns evenly, offering a sweet, floral smoke balanced by hints of crushed black pepper, leather and earth.
89PointsView Original ReviewThe initial tartness of this petit corona dissipates to show pleasant notes of walnut shell, wood and roasted coffee bean.

89PointsView Original ReviewA small, rustic cigar with a reddish wrapper. It's packed with pepper flavors, with a hint of cherry and a vegetal finish.
86PointsView Original ReviewThis cigar is a bit soft. It burns unevenly, delivering fairly rich smoke and a quick pump of tobacco flavor, but it's somewhat one-dimensional. A good morning…

Good in flavor lover
Goot smokkin mahn!!
Very professional and responsive company. I have had several business transactions with CCG and they have performed flawlessly every time and I have received my merchandise with no delays, even in these extreme circumstances.
Great smole perfect for coffee break at 3;00 pm
Delightful smoke with a smooth finish. Perfect size for a light smoke.
Easy draw. Smooth medium to strong flavor. Very good cigar
COVID19 shipping delay aside, these arrived as expected and are fabulous. Torpedos will be the next order for sure.
Just a great standard stick. Perfect to compare all others to.
Great all around aroma taste.
Great size for a quick smoke, enjoyed them from start to finish! Great value and great service from CCG, thank you!
fast delivery/excellent quality
Excellent
The cigars themselves were not the ones I had wanted. I wanted big robust cigars and I got small, almost cigarette like ones. But that's my fault. It took 1 month to be delivered and I understand that due to this virus things were held up but still, 1 month. Overall my experience was displeasing. If I make another order I hope it's when were nit in a global crisis. Thank you
Excellent cigar. Well made. Overtones of cherry and chocolate. Great company. Prompt shipping. Easy transaction.
Outstanding sticks!! CCG is excellent.
I buy either these or the Partagas Shorts and there are neck and neck. Can't go wrong with either!
Good half hour Cigar!
The cigars have a somewhat tight draw
Very fresh and high quality!
Reasonable price & fast delivery
nice cigar
These are awesome when you don't have the time to commit to a full smoke. Full of flavor, but so smooth
Great cigar will purchase more!
Everyone would love to have time to smoke a cigar for an hour or longer. But when you want a good stick on a time crunch, the No. 5 by Montecristo is where it's at. 45 minute smoke, solid draw. What more could ask for.
Really happy with not just the stick, but the quality upon arrival despite covid related shipping delays
They were good and on time
Great cigars
Best place to buy, considerably about import custom and tax, great shop!
Awesome small cigar
Smooth and strong as usual had come quicly fresh in a special plastic bag Well done 👍
Great cigars and great service. Thank you!!! Will definitely buy again!!!
Great cigar and got them quickly
smooth , tasty
I've bought the 50's pack of MC#5. very good overall. Medium-dark wrapper, medium wrapper thickness. Classic Monte bean flavors with tangy citrus overtones. Medium plus strength. Good examples of Monte 5.
Arrived in great condition in a little over 2 weeks. The box sent is young, LGR box code from Nov. ‘18. So after a week in the humidor I tried one and it was heavy on tannins like a young one should be. But you can tell all the great Monte flavors are there waiting for a bit of aging to bring them out. These will sit in the humi. Great potential in this little awesome cigar! Thanks CCG!
Good smoke. Took a little longer than usual to get here.
My husband enjoyed it with no complaints!!
It may not sound inviting but the first puffs of the Montecristo 5 remind me of the clean smell of Ivory soap, "the soap that floats" that was popular when I was a kid growing up in Los Angeles in the 1950's. Well into these little gems I get the classic Monte tastes of woodiness and green tea. They are wonderful with a morning coffee, or after a larger cigar in the evening when one feels like lingering just a little longer. Generally the burn is good. They are an inexpensive way to fill out one's daily cigar routine.
Bought both Eduardo and No5 Monte Cristo.. Quick delivery and great quality.. Will buy again..
Great Choice, Love these little Jewels.
Good one
I enjoyed the Monte #5 fairly well. It did have a little harder taste than the #7 I've had. All in all tho it's a good cigar.
I used to buy it from a local store, but now I don’t think so. On time and good quality
They came on time and were perfectly sealed. I just submitted another order.
Excellent
Davidoff smooth and the perfect way to end a long days work by enjoying this mild and smooth cigar. Montecristo is my favorite cigar to enjoy with your favor scotch or brandy
I've used this site on two occasions in the past month. Product's ordered have been authentic & fresh every time. I'll be ordering again(Cohibas)to stock my humidor. As always, enjoy your "sippin time"!
All arrived aOK, packaging good, although a little apprehensive with limited feed back on delivery timing which may be your system. Thank you!
Great smoke. Very smooth. Shipping was fast and easy. Will definitely be ordering from again!
Great 20 min smoke. Both boxes I received were Jan 2016, which was awesome. Great promo price too.
This little guy surprised me with an abundance of full flavor from the get go. Draw was good, and burned evenly. Bravo!
Great as always....
VERY GOOD CIGAR
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.
Great Right off the truck
Always good
Title says it all
Simply the best
Great cigar, great service
All the classic flavor of a good ole Monte. A nice quick smoke at a reasonable price. Thanks CCG
Another fine smoke and experience with CCG.
Bought as a birthday gift for my husband. He was very happy to receive them and loves them. Would definitely recommend snd purchase again
smooth service and smooth quality on the Montecristo No. 5.
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!
My much awaited package arrived timely after Australian Border control had inspected it. The first cigar smoked was wonderful.
The selection and prices are simply unbeatable. Love Montecristo and love Cubans.
Very pleased with the shipping and delivery. The Montecristo No. 5 selection was met with great satifaction. Classic cuban quality packed into a convenient size. Greatly appreciated.
perfect
I have nothing bad to say. The service was great and the cigars were great. I was very pleased with my order and will defiantly order again soon.
Everything went well, cigars are fresh
Excellent Cigar and service/shipping was excellent as well.
Delivery a bit longer than I was expecting but the cigars arrived undamaged and a very nice smoke.
Smaller smoke, same excellent taste, good price
Nice like stogie cigar to smoke came within 5 days and taste good and very smoth like a cuban should be
Good taste
Prompt delivery, package arrived securely packed, everything looks great -- looking forward to trying these after they rest in the humi for a bit. Will definitely be using this company again.
Again, great condition!! a good cigar for the afternoon
Taste Terrible
Great Cigar. Great company no problems with shipping or custom charges
This site is the real deal.
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.
Cigars arrived in 10 days in great condition. I was very pleased with the little cigars that carry big flavor. I will order them again .
Shipping was fast and convenient
Good service, fast delivery:)
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.
Super product and Super Service
Always a smooth tasty smoke. A staple in the humidor.
Two thumbs up
all great cigars have nice finish, it is the one.
Most important the cigar has been delivered as efficiently and not counterfeit cigar.
Very nice!
I gave these as a gift and still have not stop getting thank yous from the person who received them. They love them more every time the smoke a new one.
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!
My first order with CCG 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. Regards Joe
Great company, authenic cigars
still got some plume. Lovely
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.
This has become a real go-to cigar for me; quick flavorful and a great way to enjoy an afternoon.
A very nice and easy cigar. Smooth and balanced can't go wrong with this one.
Good little 'everyday' cigar.. Just bought a box of 25 again and arrived in Australia smelling wonderful! I have been purchasing from CCG for years now and would not go anywhere else! Fantastic service and have never been disappointed with quality or shipping methods.. Highly recommended!
