Montecristo is the best known and probably most appreciated brand of Habanos throughout the world. It forms the benchmark for many Habanos smokers against which other brands are judged. 

The name comes from the hero of Alexandre Dumas' famous novel 'The Count of Montecristo,' which was a firm favourite when read by the Lector to the Torcedores (cigar makers) 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. 

The Open range offer Montecristo lovers a medium bodied smoke still offering Montecristos classic flavours. 

Montecristo's perfectly balanced blends are created exclusively with selected filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone, home of the finest tobaccos in the world. 

Tasting Notes

91 / 100

"...Covered in a gritty wrapper with large, visible pores, this small belicoso balances earthy and leathery notes with a vanilla bean sweetness. It tastes better than it looks..."

Purchased as part of a Monty sampler and as with most of my cigars went into the humidor to settle for a month before I tried. I have to say, whilst I typically favour a 50 gauge or slightly larger, this 46 was a perfect late morning smoke- about 35 mins. The ash seemed reluctant to leave and I was well into the 2nd third before it departed. No real burn issues, slight sidedness but corrected quickly all on its own. Slight spice, no real ammonia, good flavours but a little kick and into the final third some very pleasing sweetness. I enjoyed the transitions though they were subtle, at least to my pallet. I'll happily purchase again, though some H. Ups. Magnum 50's are on my next purchase list.

I was dissapointed with this montecristo. Did not feel like i was smoking a cuban cigar, espsecially not a monte but more of a cheap cigar behind the counter in a corner shop. Very sad and will not be smoking this again.feel free to try though.

I know many people say this cigar lacks maturity. I have been smoking it every other day recently, alternating with a Montecriso No 2. True, it is not a No 2, but still a fabulous smoke. The draw is easy, the smoke rich and satisfying with no nasty bitterness. Even near the end, it is pleasing and one of the few cigars I know, that I truly am sad to put out. I love it and urge people to at least try it.

I was realy looking forward to this cigar because of its price, shape and gauge. It is a bit too mellow for me, it did have a good even burn but a strange tase towards the end.
