    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.

Reviews

Customers say
Customers generally find the Montecristo No. 4 to be a classic Cuban cigar with rich, complex flavors and good construction, often praised as a staple for humidors. However, a significant number of reviewers report inconsistent draw issues, ranging from excessively tight to too loose, which can detract from the overall smoking experience. While many enjoy its strength and value, the occasional construction flaw is a recurring criticism.
Best suited for those who appreciate classic Cuban flavors and are willing to risk occasional draw inconsistencies, or for experienced smokers who know how to manage a tight draw.

Im relatively new to smoking cigars so keep that in mind when reading this review. I purchased a box of 5 and my first impression was that these cigars smell fantastic, very rich and chocolately. As for the construction the wrappers on at least 2 of the 5 are wrinkled in places and look like they could easily tear and seams are quite visible, the binder/filler look fine however all 5 cigars feel very firm, almost rock solid. The draw is incredibly tight and I found myself having to really fight to get a decent smoke output, which for me takes away from the experience. As a cigar newbie I found the flavours to be very pleasing to begin with, earthy and woody with hints of spice that become more prominent on the retrohale however the spice was never overwhelming and the smoke was silky smooth. Unfortunately I hit serious problems about half way into the cigar, the draw remained very tight and I had to relight twice in 10 minutes! When it went out for a 3rd time I admitted defeat and gave up. The 4 remaining cigars will go in my humidor to be aged, I really hope I have a better experience with them, I may need to invest in a draw poker.

I have delayed trying one of these due the reports of a very tight draw, but finding myself in the London store with a lovely expert offering to personally choose one to my requirements how could I possibly say no? I am very glad that I finally decided to try one. The creamy inhale with undertones of spice and slight pepper on the lips by the second third was delightful (I found the first third a little mild and one dimensional, but extremely smooth nonetheless). The strength and flavour definitely took time to arrive, but once there was very balanced , wonderfully smooth and extremely enjoyable. The draw wasn’t an issue. The construction was exemplary, as was the condition. Paired with a light spiced rum this was a real treat. My thanks for the exceptional customer service.

In the past Ive had some great MC4s. The past few Ive bought from this site have had a very tight draw. If youre reading this in a few months ignore me but I think the batch currently on sale isnt right.

I like these cigars however, I found they are extremely tight on the draw and I prefer an easy draw. Apart from that they are very flavourful once they get going.

Great tasting cigar, but i've had a couple that are too tightly packed. Sometimes a great smoke...but often, an awful draw. I'd buy them all the time if the build quality was better.
