December Cigars of the Month

The Cuban cigar of the month for November is the Montecristo Media Corona. 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. Media Corona literally translates as “Half Corona” and the size was first introduced in the UK back in 1907 by an English cigar importer who wanted to stop keeping his wife waiting for him at the theatre while he enjoyed the last of his Corona sized cigar.

The Montecristo Media Corona represents the second time that this format has been used and, at just 3 1/2 inches long, it remains the shortest long-filler handmade Cuban cigar you can buy.

The New World cigar of the month is the Davidoff Aniversario Entreacto. The name ‘entreacto’ fittingly refers to the interval between the acts of a theatre, musical or sporting event. From the first draw, the Short Corona affords a dense smoke with a harmonious aroma of leather and spices. And, indeed, the concise length of this cigar makes it ideal for even the shortest break.
