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.

MEDIA CORONA

Medias Corona literally translates as “Half Corona” and the size was first introduced in the UK back in 1907 by an English cigar importer who wanted to stop keeping his wife waiting for him at the theatre while he enjoyed the last of his Corona sized cigar.

The Montecristo Medias Corona represents the second time that this format has been used and, at just 3 1/2 inches long, it remains the shortest long-filler handmade Cuban cigar you can buy.

Tasting Notes

The taste that has made Montecristo the world’s most sought-after premium cigar is often described as “tangy”. Certainly the flavour is distinctive.

Other words commonly used to describe the taste include ‘coffee’ and ‘cocoa beans’, ‘pepper’ as well as ‘orange peel’, ‘cinnamon’ and ‘vanilla’, all of which lead to the conclusion that a delicious bitter-sweet, spicy taste lies at the heart of Montecristo’s success combined, of course, with the perfect balance of its tobacco blend.

90 / 100

"While the draw is a bit airy, this short corona burns evenly. Its core of fruit, spice and wood is accented by notes of cocoa powder and earth..."

I think this might actually be the perfect cigar. Decent draw, lovely flavour, plenty of smoke for 20-30 mins. I've smoked a ton of new world cigars over the last 6 weeks, and now I can see why Cubans are so well regarded.

A pleasant cigar but didnÂ’t really do it for me until the last third where all the flavours described combined for a sweet finish.

Very attractive looking cigar with dark oily wrapper. Enjoyable smoke for the afternoon walk. I am not very good at describing flavours and I think it’s very personal but it was a tasty medium strength smoke which burnt perfectly and smelt delicious. Highly recommend. Again thank c Gars for delivering cigars in perfect condition
