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. 

Tasting Notes

This is a rich and flavourful cigar, with the typical Montecristo profile. Burns well and not too fast, but certainly not a slow burner. A superb cigar for after dinner or late afternoon.

You wont be disappointed with this perfect example of a Montecristo. Very smooth, quintessential Cuban flavours - delivered in a smaller ring gauge which keeps it a mild to medium in my opinion. A classic. A go to. Will 100% be ordering more of these.

First time with one of these reputed sticks. A nice long smoke. Has to be smoked slowly. Very nice. Lovely flavour. Smoother than a Cappuccino. Some may think they are a Punchy price for a single but Not overpriced for the quality. Looking forward to the next one!

Good draws on all of these so far, thank goodness. And the flavours are out of this world! Rich yet delicate, creamy with a touch of pepper and exotic spice. Layers of woods, fresh ground coffee beans, cream and cocoa with hints of citrus, nutmeg and cinnamon. A slow and subtle progression of strength into the final third where I was surprised further with a little sweet but dark leather and a touch of shortbread and clove. These still have plenty of strength and richness in the back half to indicate they will only get better and better with more age too. All are smoking to my fingertips before getting hot. Milk chocolate wrappers and gorgeous format. Heavenly box aroma. Pure class and highly underrated cigars. Box code: REG JUL 18

Beautiful smoke! I normally prefer the chunky cigars but this one was great for a light midweek smoke. It burned with a lovely consistency and not too much of a kick. Quite mild indact. I would definitely get one if these again. I love the montecristos and this is no exception.

Great cigar, nice smoke, great draw and a lovely sweet flavour. Given 4/5 however because the wrapper started to peel and there was a nasty gash on the side of the cigar, splitting the wrapper. Didnt effect too much however, was rather annoying. On the whole a lovely cigar!
