MONTECRISTO

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 Torcedores (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.

Whether it is within the classic medium-to-full line, the lighter Open Series or the newer, more powerful, Linea 1935, 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.

NO. 1

The lead size of Montecristo when it was initiated in 1935. The standard bearer for the medium to full, tangy taste that conquered the world. A treasure for the cognoscenti of Havana cigars.

Smooth and packed with flavour, excellent draw and burn. Distinguished appearance, bold taste, but a creamy smoke. Quality tobacco in all respect.

90 / 100

"An attractive lonsdale with a nicely textured cover leaf. Light impressions of white pepper, citrus, dried fruit and graham cracker all intermingle before a cedary finish. The combustion is even, but the draw was a bit firm..."
