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.

89 / 100

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

Im a relative novice and this is my first review of my 5th cigar. Really tried to take my time with it after reading some articles about enhancing enjoyment and it paid off. First third was lovely and gave me toasted nutty flavours and a hint of vanilla. I paired it with a 12 year old Aberlour which made it quite sweet on my palate in the middle third. I may have been going a bit too slow as it went out just before the band and was quite bitter for the first draw after relighting. Last 3rd was quite grassy with hints of hay and and tangy on the tongue. This has been my favourite so far and gave me 35 minutes of enjoyment. The products arrived promptly and in pristine condition after ordering.

A bit hit and miss! Lovely cigar for someone new to cigar smoking nice and mild with a lovely flavour. My only criticism is that some smoke wonderfully whilst other are so tight it’s like trying to suck up a McDonalds milkshake! Seems to be about 50/50 whether you get a good one or a tight one.

This has got to be the worst cigar Ive ever had. Bought it at close of play from Chester to have while having a swift pint. Cant tell you what the Ash burn was like because it didnt stay lit long enough to get any, when it did light it burned uneven every time at one point it burned down the center of the cigar leaving the sides unlit. It reminded me of one of my nans woodbines from years ago, cigar seemed damp inside could not get a draw from it at all, binned it half way down and its not a large cigar. Will not be buying this brand again, maybe a bit harsh but you expect to be able to enjoy all there brands regardless of the price.
