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. 3

Another of the original Montecristos; this one a Corona. From start to finish it maintains the true taste of this brand.

A mild bitter cocoa and spicy taste, great aroma. Nice, even burn, consistently good quality. A Havana that will never let you down.

92 / 100

"The smoke from this corona has a pleasant, easygoing character to it, leaving impressions of almond and butter for a praline-like effect and a creamy finish. It has an open draw and slightly slanted burn..."
