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.

PURITOS

Montecristo puritos are the ideal choice for the smoker of mainstream cigars who wish to "upgrade" without a major leap in cost, or for the premium cigar smoker who would like to enjoy the unique taste of aroma of Cuban Tobacco During their now much briefer alfresco smoking breaks.

Great value, consistent, reliable wee smokes. Perfect for a quick puff. Always worth having a pack of these handy and nice to be able to have a taste of Havana at a very reasonable price.

Lovely smoke when you are pushed for time. I have often had comments from people as to how nice these cigars smell too. Pop a couple in your pocket when you take the wife shopping - whilst she`s in Debenhams you`ll have plenty of time for one of these.

Great smoke, burns evenly, but it does get a little bit hot and bitter towards the last inch. Lovem, now ordering my second lot.

Definatly my day to day cigar of choice! Brilliant when you want that long burning feel and strength of a cigar for a small price and a shorter time to enjoy. Perfect when you dont want to break out one of you best cigars you've been keeping for a while but want to enjoy a proper smoke! Ideal whether it be with a coffee or a drink, definatly reccommend! Always keep 10-20 to the side of my humidor!

Not a bad little machine-rolled cigar at all, and an everyday "supermarket standard" for me. Large enough to get a decent amount of flavour from, with consistent quality and a pretty easy draw. Not as complex a cigar as a hand-made one costing far more, but pretty decent all the same. Be aware though that if your usual fare is Henri Winterman or similar mild, small "Dutch" short-fillers, these are quite a bit stronger. I've rated this cigar against its competitors in roughly the same price range - the likes of Winterman, Castella, Villiger etc. Against a long-filler costing somewhat more, of course I'd rate it lower; but compared to its competitors it's not bad at all.
