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

The name comes from the hero of Alexandre Dumas' famous novel 'The Count of Montecristo,' which was a firm favourite when read by the Lector to the Torcedores (cigar makers) 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. 

Montecristo's perfectly balanced blends are created exclusively with selected filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone, home of the finest tobaccos in the world. 

Please note: Matches not included. 

Tasting Notes

It has all the qualities of the brand and is a real appetizer, intense sweet/spicy flavour similar to chocolate mixed with raisins. Delicious.

"...A well-made petit corona that burns evenly, offering a sweet, floral smoke balanced by hints of crushed black pepper, leather and earth..."

I received this in my September subscription box and it didnt disappoint. In fact, considering that its 4 x 40 and the sticks I most regularly reach for are 5.5 x 56, this Montecristo actually really impressed me. A very smooth, consistent, enjoyable and softly sweet smoke from start to finish, which went very well with a spiced rum on the side. As I said, I usually go for longer and thicker cigars, but Ill definitely revisit this one in the very near future.

First cigar of my Cuban sampler pack. Im a total novice so probably didnt pick up on the minute detail. But I will give a review a go. Felt good in the hand and the smell was mild and inoffensive. To me just smelt like a decent cigar. It lit well, although my inexperience probably shone through with the lighting and actually the first couple of puffs were a bit harsh I felt. However it soon settled down. I got the occasional creamy note and good fresh grassy hints. Generally speaking it was a good 25-30mins spent walking by the river on a sunny day. Smoked it down to the label and that was enough. Probably missed out on those last 3rd notes but all in all enjoyable. Good burn and no need to relight. Nice smoke production and good ash. Would buy another 👍

First third wasnt to my taste as it was quite peppery , second third had grassy and leathery notes, final third quite pleasant with mellow nutty notes. Burnt well, Ash held up very well, last around 30 mins. All in all, not to my taste but certainly not a bad cigar.

Excellent cigar. Full of flavour and a good draw. Would buy again. Smoked in about 20 mins.

Very disappointed with this one, but its a learning curve to a new smoker. The draw on this was FAR too tight to get any flavour profiles, occasionally I had a hint of what it had to offer, but unfortunately this was marred by the tightness and lack of smoke. This was a real shame, especially for 11 pounds, as the little hints of flavour were very enjoyable. But at least I know to avoid it in the future.
