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.
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.
This cigar from Montecristo, the Double Edmundo, was announced at the 2013 Habanos festival alongside the Petit Piramide. Both of these new Montecristo cigars come baring the new embossed Montecristo band.
Please note: We use photographs from across the Dominique London group, all cigars purchased via our website are from Intertabak or Cuba Cigars depending on country location and, if applicable, will have the relevant stickers.
This large cigar warms to show a tasty smoke redolent of almonds, orange peel and tea.
