    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.

These have long been one of my favourite cigars to enjoy with an afternoon coffee. The classic Cuban flavour is smooth, rich, and never disappoints in taste. Unfortunately, my most recent 5-pack was a letdown. Every stick had a tight draw and required frequent relighting, which took away from the overall experience. It’s a shame, because when they’re good, they’re truly excellent — but the inconsistent quality control makes it a gamble.

Still early in my cigar journey, but quickly become one of my favourites. A slightly stronger cigar than I usually prefer, but it’s not overpowering.. so many rich flavours, and the pepper notes are subtle. On my list of regular purchases now.

A brilliant cigar! the smell is amazing, easy draw, even burn, never had to relight it despite the weather being windy. Although it is labelled as a medium to full, it did not come across that way. The flavour profile has hints of coffee, cocoa and that is why I paired with a nice expresso. Before smoking it, I kept my cigar in the humidor for around a week at 67% humidity. 10 out of 10.

First time smoking any Montecristo and I have to say it's a great tasting cigar. Burns even, smells great but the draw was sooo tight. I couldn't really fix that. I used a guillotine cutter and even cut a small bit more off part way through smoking and out of pure desperation tried to use a punch where I had already cut. Such a shame really coz the flavours were fantastic. Actually got light-headed from sucking so hard If the draw was a little easier this would be for me and easy 4.5 - 5 star.

I haven't been smoking cigars long, and this is only my second Montecristo (the other being an Open J, which I really enjoyed), however I had to abandon all hopes as it was almost completely unsmokeable. I was expecting good things, however it seemed so tight that I was unable to get any sort of useful draw from it. From other reviews I'm guessing this is more of a consistency issue than anything. Bit at the price point I've had better luck (or at least not as bad luck?) with other cigars. Quite disappointed
