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.

ESPECIAL

Introduced in 1971 and sharing its dimensions with the Cohibas Lanceros, the Especial offers a slightly more intense flavour with its elegant size.

The pre-lit aroma of this cigar was somewhat earthy and the when the lit the draw was perfect; exactly how a cigar should be. The sweet/spicy taste developed into sweet, vanilla pod flavours. A truly flawless cigar.
