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.

ESPECIAL NO. 2

Another vitola that Montecristo shares with Cohiba - Slender ring gauges may not be in vogue these days, but 38 is sufficient to house the full Montecristo blend in a dapper shape.

Tasting Notes

This is a rich and flavourful cigar, with the typical Montecristo profile. Burns well and not too fast, but certainly not a slow burner. A superb cigar for after dinner or late afternoon.

This cigar was a very pleasant suprise. Initially I thought this would be a quick and underwhelming experience due to the vitola and gauge. However, my experience of this cigar was wonderful. It is not very complex in terms of flavour. But you do have the classic cream, hay and spice that is distinctive to a high quality Cuban cigar. Overall smoking time was approximately 1 hour. I would highly recommend this cigar. It paired very nicely with a sweet and buttery Chardonnay.

You wont be disappointed with this perfect example of a Montecristo. Very smooth, quintessential Cuban flavours - delivered in a smaller ring gauge which keeps it a mild to medium in my opinion. A classic. A go to. Will 100% be ordering more of these.

First time with one of these reputed sticks. A nice long smoke. Has to be smoked slowly. Very nice. Lovely flavour. Smoother than a Cappuccino. Some may think they are a Punchy price for a single but Not overpriced for the quality. Looking forward to the next one!

Good draws on all of these so far, thank goodness. And the flavours are out of this world! Rich yet delicate, creamy with a touch of pepper and exotic spice. Layers of woods, fresh ground coffee beans, cream and cocoa with hints of citrus, nutmeg and cinnamon. A slow and subtle progression of strength into the final third where I was surprised further with a little sweet but dark leather and a touch of shortbread and clove. These still have plenty of strength and richness in the back half to indicate they will only get better and better with more age too. All are smoking to my fingertips before getting hot. Milk chocolate wrappers and gorgeous format. Heavenly box aroma. Pure class and highly underrated cigars. Box code: REG JUL 18

Beautiful smoke! I normally prefer the chunky cigars but this one was great for a light midweek smoke. It burned with a lovely consistency and not too much of a kick. Quite mild indact. I would definitely get one if these again. I love the montecristos and this is no exception.
