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.
NO. 4
The most popular individual handmade cigar in the UK. Its rich, tangy, medium to full flavour acts as the benchmark for the most smokers embarking on the journey to find their preferred Habano. Many return to it.
The Montecristo No. 4 is one of the most recognisable Cuban cigars in the world and a long-standing benchmark for balance and consistency within the Habanos range.
Rolled in the classic Mareva format, it delivers a medium to full-bodied profile in a shorter smoke, making it a popular choice for regular enjoyment or when time is limited. Expect an earthy core with woody notes, gentle spice and the signature Montecristo richness developing steadily through the smoke.
Its compact size makes it particularly suited to experienced smokers who appreciate traditional Cuban character without committing to a longer vitola. As with all handmade Cuban cigars, slight variations in draw can occur, but when on form the No. 4 remains a reference point for its category.
Often chosen as a daily Cuban or an introduction to the Montecristo flavour profile, this cigar continues to be one of the most requested single cigars in the UK.
A true icon in the world of great Havana cigars. This Mareva expresses the crisp and spicy flavours that we associate so much with Montecristo, it is ideal with an espresso in the afternoon.

"A coarse-looking, veiny petit corona that tastes better than it looks. Floral, herbal notes pick up hints of black tea before the cigar reveals a sweetness redolent of cinnamon-coated nuts. Both the draw and burn are even..."
