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..."

Originally purchased this from the main shop in Liverpool as recommend by Evan.Very tasty enjoyable smoke. With this in mind I ordered a further two more online along with a few other cigars. After receiving I noticed some green discolouration on one of the cigars. After emailing Liam (with images attached, including humidor readings which were fine) I was advised that this was just superficial and would not affect the overall experience of the smoke. Unfortunately in my opinion the smoke for some reason was very different. The burn was not even at all, the cigar needed constant re-lighting, and the drag seemed poor. Now I don’t claim to be any sort of expert, however I have smoked a fair few cigars. This was definitely one of the worst. Still tempted to try another No5 but perhaps from another supplier, although I will still purchase from here unless the issues Im having continue.

I've smoked dozens of these and never had a bad one. Consistent construction with the classic Montecristo taste. The perla size makes it perfect as an everyday smoke or for when time does not allow for a bigger cigar. Smoked slowly the flavours are better and can last over half an hour. I always enjoy these down to the nub and burn my fingers.

For me this was a terrible smoke, construction and draw ok, but as for the taste there was not even a hint of sweetness, it was very harsh and tasted of bad strong burnt liquorice (I normally like liquorice) Anyway a double thumbs down Monte No.5

I received this as part of a 'short but sweet' sampler & found it to be the tightest cigar I have ever encountered. The band came away as soon as I touched it & having toasted & lit the cigar it went downhill from there. Unsmokable, a very disappointing experience which I allowed to expire & disregard. Needless to say I shall not be purchasing again. I thoroughly enjoy the Montecristo Purito as a 10 minute 'beer garden' smoke & my experience of the 'Open Master' was delightful. Unless you enjoy trying to suck a golf ball through a hose pipe, buy something else...

Fairly new to cigars but tried quite a few over the years. The No. 5 lights up easily enough and the burn is the most even I've seen. The draw was quite tight. Any more and would be pointless to smoke. Good cigar for a walk. 3 stars as has nothing on the No. 4 's but still a worthwhile satisfying smoke but will probably stick to No.4's on next order for inexpensive montecristos.
