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 and it burns very well. A bomb of rich spices including cinnamon and a pleasant sweetness emerges throughout the cigar. A great Havana among fine gauges.

"...The complex smoke of this torpedo offers an elegant interplay of almond and orange peel notes that frame a leathery, woody core..."

Like a smile on a dog, I just dont see it. Construction is fine, wrapper always looks great, draw is perfect, only minor burn trouble... but... the smoke always strikes me as average. Better than average. Very good. But not the Holy Grail of Cuban cigars its so often touted as. Agreeable cocoa and wood flavors build to a spicy finish. written by JM USA

I have only smoked one of these, but it was a powerful cigar. It also seemed to be a really tight draw, and between that and the buzz I got, I wasnt that impressed. However, it was not fully aged, and I will try another down the road. written by SLH

Has suffered periods of inconsistent construction and quality, especially in the late 90s - early 00s. More recently, the sticks look fabulously dark, rich, oily and well rolled. They light well, and draw well, but the aroma and flavor are a bit shallow and harsh unless aged for at least two years. Its still better at three years, which is as old as Ive been able to obtain a #2 of the newer, better, quality. One of the best cigars Ive ever smoked was an 18 year old MC #2, but Im convinced that compared to now, MC has changed its blend to save money. None of the MCs currently live up to their grand history. Too bad... written by Antoine

Jeez, call me crazy but this is THE most overrated cigar on earth. Ok, Ive only smoked 3: my first in Amsterdam as a rookie smoker, my second weeks after receiving a piramide sampler from Mitchell and my third a year later from the same sampler. The results were deep, rich and aromatic taste one moment - the next the taste of a cigarette! For a Montecristo, these appear to have little consistency. Stick with the Vegas Unicos. written by BostonElRay

Solid medium-powered flavors of wood, spice and a splash of some dark notes within this oft-heralded piramide. written by ca
