Cigars per box:5
Price:€105.61 *
A very special cigar for those who like their habanos large, this is
of excellent quality, rich, smooth and almost silky on the palate.
Expect woody, chocolate and coffee overtones, delightful flavours and
aromas, perhaps not as strong as others from the Montecristo brand, but
three to four hours of smoking pleasure.
* Shipping is not included in the price.

What a gorgeous name, probably inspired by the 1844 novel "Le Comte de Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas. The brand was established in 1935 by Menendez, Garcia y Cia, the then owners of H. Upmann, and heavily marketed by Alfred Dunhill of London. It became the most popular of all Havana exports and a standard against which all others are now judged. They have well earned their reputation from the art that is portrayed in the manufacture to the balance and rounding of the flavours. Their range is extensive, amongst them the finest pyramide in the world, the no. 2. There is a distinctive Montecristo taste that manifests itself with complex earthy tones, rich and chocolaty, and an almost brooding aroma of roasted spice, vanilla and patchouli . An exotic aristocrat of cigars!
