Moncada cigars?

[Wharf Rat]

My Mom and stepdad went on a cruise recently and brought back some cigars for me that they bought from a roller in the port of Roatan, Honduras. They look like nicely rolled maduro torpedos. and are named "Moncada."

I haven't had a chance to try thrm yet. Anyone have any experience with this roller?

[Montano]

Smoke one and give us a review since this is the Reviews section ;)

[keysdiver]

I visited the same port last August and bought some cigars from the only vendor on the doc. They were great, very mild. I have his card. His email is moncadaciggars@yahoo.com I've email him twice but no response so far, I'd like to order more. He was rolling them right there on the doc. Price was 15.00 for a pack of seven. His phone, which I haven't tried yet, is (504)9966-2240

You have two 'g's in his email... is that the problem??
Sounds interesting! I love custom/house blends sticks

That's what is on his business card and it doesn't bounce back as a bad address, but worth trying. Thanks

There's also a website ( http://stores.homestead.com/MoncadaCigars/StoreFront.bok ) that looks to have the same lettering as the business card.

I tried one and I would review it as "a toasty flavor." I put the rest in the 'dor to try after a while.

Those cigars are good but have you ever try Cuban Cigars? Those are the best of the best in flavor, texture, presentation and price.

Welcome to Cigar Asylum. Why not head over to the New Inmate Forum and introduce yourself.

As for your comment, there are many who prefer Cuban cigars. However, there are many who do not. "Best" is purely subjective.

[keysdiver]

I finally heard back from Sr Mancado via email, in spanish. According to the spanish translator I found on line he says he is a small vendor, rolling small quantities working at the mercy of Carnival Cruise lines and cannot sell on line. Oh well.

[ksandy]

I just got back from a cruise (Princess) to Roatan and saw Sr. Moncada rolling on the square next to the hair braiding lady. I bought a pack of 7; immediately tried one....liked it so much, I bought 3 more packs. I also touted their quality to a few other people in front of the roller....they also bought some and Sr. Moncado rewarded my salesmanship with 4 additional free cigars. They are NOT tightly rolled, but definitely a 50 minute + smoke...leathery...tasty and mild. The price went up to $20/7...but up the stairs to the right was another store with Cubans @ $15 ea. I've tried 'em all and Cubans are not worth it...to me. A good Dominican is just as good, so don't be lured into the mystique.

[Emjaysmash]

Glad you found him again and got to buy more. $20 for 7 is not bad at all, especially if you really like his cigars!

[OLS]

Heheh...banned.

Opinions vary greatly.

And since you've tried them all, we'd love to hear more about your perceptions of the individual marcas/vitolas.

There is also the very, very slight possibility that Cubans that he bought "at the top of the stairs" from a dock in Honduras were not legit. A very, very, very slight chance. ;)

There's no conflict of interest or bias there! Move along, nothing to see here. :)

[Goldie]

I think a lot of people would disagree that CC's aren't worth it, but like you said, "to me". As far as the cigars from Honduras, I picked up a 5 pack of 'em when we were there in June and they were great. A few fellow smokers and I killed all of 'em except one that I brought home to a local BOTL. I wish I had smoked one before the ship left port because they were seriously a good cigar. When I first picked them up though they smelled awful. I had really low expectations going into it and was totally surprised.

Ksandy, if you plan on sticking around CA, head over to the intro forum and tell us about yourself.

They're up to $20 per package, but he gave me 4 free after telling other tourists they were "moy bien!"

[ksandy]

FYI....just got back from a cruise...same place...probably same roller - good cigar. Not too tightly made, but great flavor and appearance.

[Beacher]

Was just on Roratan and Adalberto was still on the pier and still hand rolling his cigars. Came back with a few after having a couple down there. Both were mild and not to tightly wrapped. Phone number still the same. Email has not changed either.

[chief842]

I was wondering if you knew how to get any of these cigars? They were a barber pole wrapper. Sorts toasty and nutty?

[Royston]

Just discovered this forum when I tried to find information about Moncada Cigars. A friend who returned from a cruise gave me a pack of seven. I tried one while playing pool at lunchtime and was astonished how well it drew, didn't go out, and seemed worth more respect than I was giving it at the time. So I sat on my veranda overlooking the sea (I live in Sri Lanka) last night and smoked another one as I sipped 18 year-old Laphroaig single malt whisky. The effect was mellowing; smooth, rich and not as dry as the standard Cubans we get here. Alas, I only have five left but shall make sure that every one is enjoyed without interruptions and with full respect to the skill of Sr Moncada and his skill and choice of tobacco.

[icehog3]

I too was recently in Roatan, and purchased some Moncada Cigars. found them to be quite good, and would love to get some more. I sent Sr. Moncada an e-mail this morning, we shall see if he replies. BTW, I had the pleasure of watching a young lady doing the rolling the day I was in Port. She was very good!

[HRRRARAOLCOM]

I had the same experience as many of you when we cruised to Honduras this spring. Bought several Moncada cigars and they were excellent. I just received a response from my email inquiry, indicating that the only way to buy his cigars is to have a friend purchase them there.

Any friends going there anytime soon?

[Porch Dweller]

After almost two years, a first-time poster revives this thread to extol the virtues of Moncado? Shocker! :)

Ok, having said that, I have purchased from this dude every time I've cruised through Roatan. Yes, I have proof, see below. :D $15/5 Robustos, unbanded. I've talked him down to $12/5, but if his female assistant? daughter? wife? is there she doesn't like to negotiate.

I still have two from my last stop there in Dec. 2016. They're pretty tasty and worth picking up, whether it's $15/5 or $20/7.

Smoking one now that my son brought back for me from a cruise. Seems well made, decent to start, mild-medium. If they were $15-20 for 7 I would say that is more than fair.

Well, you guys almost have me too scared to post!
I'm flying into Roatan in a few days and was going to try one of these (or maybe more). Are the piers for the cruise lines close to the airport? I see some piers in google maps sort of west, but they may not be for cruise lines. Can anyone get access to this guy, or is it only for people getting on or off a cruise ship? Do you know if the piers are walking distance from the airport? Kind of looks like a couple of kilometers.
Thx

I never did get a response to my emails.
I did go to Roatan. While I found the cruise ships dock next to the ferry terminal, I never did go see if this guy was still there selling cigars. I did see some of the worst fake bands on Cohibas though. No gold on the label, the yellow was actually greenish and the printing around the face was badly off center.

OK, I'll bite. And, yes, this is my very first post to this forum.

I bought this stick at the cigar stand in the tourist (cruise ship) village on Roatan, Honduras. The stand was manned by a young lad who spoke very good English, and his "mother", reportedly the cigar roller, who apparently spoke none. They were selling several sizes in boxes and bundles, and had a number of loose irregulars that they were selling by the stick. I grabbed a handful of these, thinking, "what the heck."

The first one I smoked was roughly a toro in size (~6x52), and had a nice, medium brown, silky wrapper (the young lad at the stand called it an "oscuro", but it was not nearly dark enough to attain that standard), and a short, torpedo-like cap. Construction looked and felt superb, with a consistently firm body (no soft spots), very light veining, and flawless wrapper and cap. The foot appeared evenly and tightly packed.

I cut the cap about half way along the torpedo shape to get the draw I like, and toasted the foot. I'm not the guy to go to for flavor notes and nuances. I would consider this a medium bodied smoke with pleasant, mellow flavor, even on the retro-hale. Nothing too spicy, peppery or harsh.

The ash built up light and flaky, and I could only accumulate about 3/4-inch before it fell off the stick. Ample smoke was generated while actively smoking, and it dropped quickly to a very slow smolder on the rest.

The burn line was a little jagged, but otherwise even. Certainly nothing close to requiring any corrections.

The mild flavor(s?) held steady to the end. More mild than I tend to gravitate toward, but very pleasant nonetheless. I usually pair my smokes with a good whisky(ey), but smoked this one with a cup of hot chamomile tea. I would definitely recommend drinking something that will leave your taste buds intact to get the most out of this cigar.

As others have noted, this is a really good, inexpensive (if you don't include the cost of travel) cigar. No regrets.

[Pendejo de Puros]

I just returned from an NCL cruise and was in Roatan for the second time.

I purchased my second round of 7-ish x 48-ish torpedoes. They hold together, burn even and have a nice mild demeanor and easy taste. I gave 25 bucks for 7 cigars.

I don't get some of the comments that are analyzing this guy and his cigars as if he must be compared to the major tabacaleras, or as if it is important that we know how to rate his stogies.

Roatan is a poor place. The cruise ships are stopped for 30 days so the people have lost the main source of income. Furthermore, they are not allowed to hunt iguanas or fish for the next 30 days to prevent animal depletion as everyone tries to make a living selling food to the restaurants.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Aldeberto. He sells his cigars to tourists to provide for his family. God help him and his countrymen for the next 30 days.

Me? I always by the local stuff. Not as a way to be a smart guy and insinuate that I really found diamonds in the rough/secrets/special finds that few have experienced. I buy them to commemorate the moment, the times, the people and the day.

To me, that is what every cigar is.

Thanks to Pendejo de Puros for his update. I myself just got back home early this morning. The borders have been shut down by Presidential order and my family was lucky enough to have gotten out. I feel badly for my friends in Roatan as this will surely hurt their Island very hard.
Even with my friends contacts, we were not allowed into the cruise line areas from the "other side" without a pass. Captive sales audience with a huge chunk of money from items sold by vendors going back to the cruise line for the "privilege" of being able to sell in the area. Fine folks of Cigar Asylum... I failed in my mission to provide the intel. Kudos to Pendejo de Puros for getting in the legal way and successfully accomplishing what I could not. My apologies to all. On another note.. The Roatan Cigar company in operation at several locations thru the Island which are accessible to everyone gets a down vote from me for a: badmouthing most other stores and tobacaleras
B; not having a superior product which would exemplify his excellence over the aforementioned stores. I tried his "Don Victor" cigar line and ....would not recommend as a large take home purchase. Very pricey in relation to quality of tobacco/rolling. For the same prices there, you can get many real "name brand" cigars from Frank's Cigar Bar in West End. Most popular brand there is Leaf by Oscar in Maduro, Corojo and Connecticut. Very well made all 3 and satisfying to the most discerning palates. Nite life in the area is interesting as well. Certain ladies are very entertaining as the evening progresses.
You may bash if needed, lol-(P

JTFC, would this just die. Moncado cigars exists, the dude makes tasty handrolled cigars, if you're in Roatan you can easily buy his cigars at a decent price. What more mystery exists? This is like someone starting a thread asking "Does Island Smoke Shop exist? Has anyone been to their website or Key West and purchased a cigar?"...and the discussion going on for eleven years.

Moncado cigars existing and being available in Roatan is not a mystery, I understand it's a fact.

What is a mystery is how at least 13 "new" members came here specifically to applaud Moncado cigars with their first post, and most never posted anywhere else on the board. I would hypothesize that someone is shilling, or recruiting people to shill. JMHO.

I hope I am not included in icehog3's post as "shilling' because I have never met the man or had one of his hand made cigars. Also, it is not "easy" to buy a cigar from him UNLESS you are coming in from the port side. I tried, I failed. I wish that I could have gotten the chance to try one.

Thanks icehog3, I'm happy to be a part of this forum.
Just wish I could afford some of the great cigars I have seen here in reviews.
