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.

Sort By:

Montecristo Petit Edmundo Cigar Single

The Montecristo Petit Edmundo is the little brother to the original Montecristo Edmundo and is arguably a much finer cigar. The cigar is very short but retains the ring gauge, almost half as thick as it is long, making for a stout cigar that is very intense. This size cigars are becoming more and more popular as they do not take as long to smoke and the modern aficionado has less time on his hands. Length in millimetres – 110 Ring Gauge – 52 Strength – Medium to Full Origin – Cuba
