The similarities with the Montecristo cigars are present in almos all the sizes of the Upmann brand. This No. 2 is one of the tapered cigars par excellence, since the care that put into the making of the H. Upmann, at times, is not present in the Montecristo cigars. The only, difference would be barely in one degree less of strength. Magnificent draw and combustion. A great Habano, only for real enthusiasts.
