About Montecristo Cigars

Montecristo was established in Havana in 1935 and takes its name from Alexandre Dumas’ novel The Count of Monte Cristo, which was reportedly popular with cigar-factory readers and rollers. The original portfolio consisted of numbered cigars from No. 1 to No. 5, before expanding into the much broader range available today.

Montecristo is recognised for balanced Cuban character, commonly associated with cedar, coffee, cocoa, earth, leather and spice. Exact flavour and intensity vary by cigar, but most of the premium range sits between medium and full strength.

Montecristo Numbered Cigars

The numbered range represents the traditional foundation of the brand:

• Montecristo No. 2 – an iconic pirámide with a tapered head and a long, developing medium-to-full smoking profile.
• Montecristo No. 4 – one of the most popular Montecristo cigars, offering the traditional brand character in a compact Mareva format.
• Montecristo No. 5 – the shortest cigar in the classic numbered range and a suitable choice when less smoking time is available.

The No. 1 and No. 3 provide longer traditional formats, while the No. 2 and No. 4 remain the two most widely recognised members of the numbered family.

Montecristo Edmundo Cigars

The Edmundo collection uses wider ring gauges than much of the original numbered range. These cigars suit smokers who prefer a broader format, a cooler draw and a greater volume of smoke.

• Montecristo Edmundo – the central format in the range, combining a substantial ring gauge with classic Montecristo strength and character.
• Montecristo Petit Edmundo – a shorter, heavy-ring-gauge cigar for those wanting Edmundo intensity in less time.
• Montecristo Double Edmundo – a longer format designed for a more extended smoking occasion.

The collection also includes Wide Edmundo cigars and selected tubed or multipack presentations, subject to availability.

Montecristo Open Series

The Montecristo Open Series provides a medium-strength alternative to the classic range. Open J, Regata, Master, Eagle and Slam offer different lengths and ring gauges while retaining an approachable version of the brand’s Cuban character.

The Montecristo Open Master is a Robusto-format option, while Open J and Regata suit shorter occasions. Open Eagle and Slam provide larger formats for a longer smoke.

Montecristo Línea 1935

Línea 1935 is Montecristo’s premium regular-production collection. It includes Dumas, Maltés and Leyenda cigars, each presented with distinctive branding and formats separate from the classic numbered and Edmundo ranges.

The Montecristo Línea 1935 Dumas is the most compact cigar in the collection and provides an introduction to the range without committing to its largest formats.

Choosing a Montecristo Cigar

Choose the No. 5 when smoking time is limited, or the No. 4 for a classic compact Montecristo. The No. 2 is the traditional choice for smokers who prefer an iconic tapered pirámide.

Petit Edmundo provides a short cigar with a heavy ring gauge, while Edmundo and Double Edmundo are suited to progressively longer occasions. The Open Series is the most appropriate starting point for smokers seeking a medium-strength Montecristo, while Línea 1935 offers the brand’s premium regular-production experience.

Strength, flavour and smoking time can vary even within the same range. Use the strength, ring-gauge and length filters to narrow the products according to your preferences.

Montecristo Singles, Packs, Boxes and Samplers

Many Montecristo cigars are available individually, allowing customers to explore the range without purchasing a full box. Selected cigars are also supplied in packs of three or five, protective tubes and boxes of ten, twenty or twenty-five.

A Montecristo cigar sampler, when available, provides several different formats in one selection. This can help identify a preferred cigar before purchasing a larger quantity.

Montecristo Cigar Prices

Montecristo prices vary according to the cigar’s size, range, presentation and availability. Shorter regular-production singles generally have a lower purchase price, while full boxes, Línea 1935 cigars, limited editions and aged releases command higher prices.
