Montecristo
today.
A timeless classic
Montecristo, with a small few other brands, are firmly entrenched as pillars of the cigar industry. In relation to the other cigar brands started in Cuba, Montecristo is a newer brand, making its start in Cuba in 1935. In old Cuba, it was commonplace for cigar rollers to be entertained with the reading from stories and books to break up what was typically a long day. One such story that was a favorite among the cigar rollers was the tale of the Count of Montecristo. Legend has it, that the reading of this story is what paved the way for the Montecristo cigar brand.
When someone asks you to name a brand of cigars, Montecristo will surely be at the top of your list. The quintessential, 91-rated Dominican cigar has legions of fans, and will suit any palate with a remarkable consistency. Packed with a luscious blend of Dominican long-fillers, Montecristo is topped off with a light, savory Connecticut Shade wrapper. Filled with notes of sweet spices, hints of wood, and white pepper, this medium-bodied gem is the perfect pairing for your morning coffee and can be enjoyed any time of day.
