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.
EDMUNDO
Named after Alexandre Dumas' hero Edmundo Dantes in 'The Count of Montecristo' the Edmundo was one of the first extra heavy gauge, parejo sizes produced in Cuba in the 21st Century - Big and rewarding!

"A beautifully made cigar with a triple cap and gleaming, oily cover leaf. The burn and draw are both superb, delivering a rich, nutty character with tasty accents of graham cracker, baking spices, cedar and raisin..."
