Description
Montecristo is the best known and probably the most appreciated brand of Havanas in the world. It forms the benchmark for many Havana smokers against which other brands are judged. The name comes from Alexander Dumas’ famous novel ‘The Count of Montecristo’, which was a firm favourite when read to the Torcedores (cigar rollers) at the factory in 1935. Montecristo’s perfectly balanced blends are created exclusively with selected filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone. This is the home of the finest tobaccos in the world. As a result, both its original medium to full taste and the lighter flavour of the Open Series offer a distinguished aroma and appeal equally to new and experienced smokers. All sizes are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’. This means, ‘long filler, totally hand made’.
