Montecristo Cigars

MONTECRISTO CIGARS

Montecristo is the best known and probably the most appreciated brand of Havanas throughout the world. It forms the benchmark for many Havana smokers against which other brands are judged.

The name comes from Alexandre Dumas’ famous novel ‘The Count of Montecristo’, which was a firm favourite when read to the Torcedoras (cigar rollers) at the factory where it was founded in 1935.

The original Montecristo range of sizes was composed of a narrow assortment numbered from 1 to 5. Today it consists of a wide variety of vitolas to cover every level of the cigar enthusiast’s needs.

2009 saw the introduction of a new Series, Montecristo Open, consisting of four sizes blended to a lighter flavour than other sizes in Montecristo’s range and aimed at a new generation of smokers, who enjoy the pleasures of outdoor pursuits. More recently the 2017 addition of La Linea 1935 provided a welcome full-flavoured option for the brand’s many admirers.

All of Montecristo’s perfectly balanced blends are all created exclusively with
selected filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone, home of the finest tobaccos in the world. All sizes are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade.

Montecristo Petit No.2 Cigar Single

The Montecristo Petit No.2 Cigar is like the little brother of the World’s best cigar, the Montecristo No.2. The draw is magnificent, the tobacco is just the right strength, the construction is sublime and the taste is unrivalled. The main flavours include hints of biscuits, dark chocolate and damp soil, which progress into toasted tobacco, fresh baked cookies. The final third of the cigar is a little bitter with a drop of menthol to freshen your mouth before you have finished your smoke. The only downfall is that the experience is over too quickly! Length in millimetres – 120 Ring Gauge – 52 Strength – Medium to Full Origin – Cuba
