MONTECRISTO, ONE OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS HABANOS BRAND, IS CELEBRATING ITS 80TH ANNIVERSARY WITH THE SATISFACTION OF BEING BOTH A BENCHMARK AND A REFERENCE IN THE REALM OF PREMIUM CIGARS

When Alexander Dumas Sr. wrote the best of his novels, he never imagined that nearly a century later, on a small and unknown Caribbean island, one of the world’s most famous Habano, inspired in his monumental work entitled The Count of Montecristo, was coming to life. That gave birth to a line that now stands tall as a mandatory benchmark in the realm of premium cigars, a name that oozes out character, elegance and mysticism.
The exquisite structure of Montecristo stems from filler and wrapper leaves thoroughly handpicked from the plantations of Vuelta Abajo (P.D.O.), the land of the world’s ultimate and most prestigious tobacco. Its two blends –the original featuring a mild-to-strong taste, and the mild strength of the Open Line- packs a distinguished wallop that continues to enthrall both connoisseurs and beginners.
Today, Montecristo grows on and awes people with new formats and lines. In , a new vitola joined the brand: Edmundo, one that meets the trendsetting path of thick ring-gauge cigars, and two years later that new line was rounded out with the Petit Edmundo. In , the Línea Montecristo Open saw the light of day with four new vitolas that add a less strong blend, designed for those who enjoy puffing on it in outdoor locations.
The new Montecristo Media Corona ( ring gauge x  mm long) is an intense-tasting Habano with woody, dry and sweet notes that bring about a pleasant smoking and a full-mouth sticky sensation.
For its part, the Montecristo  Aniversario vitola (  ring gauge x  mm long) boasts special sizes and is dedicated to lovers of thick ring-gauge Habanos. Its exquisite blend is balanced and intense in the same breath.
