Montecristo
is one of the most reputable and representative cigar brands in the tobacco
industry.
As we
discussed in a previous article, there are Cuban and non-Cuban versions and, as
expected, non-Cuban versions are marketed in the United States. At least a
dozen versions made by Tabacalera de García Ltd., established in 1969 in La
Romana, Dominican Republic, and considered the largest premium cigar factory in
the world, are available on the US market. Other versions of Montecristo are
also made at Tabacalera A.J. Fernández Cigars and at Plasencia Cigars, both
located in Nicaragua, but it is done as a collaboration of those companies with
Altadis USA, current owner of Tabacalera de García.
In our
store we have some of the collections of this famous brand made by Altadis USA
in its factory in La Romana, Dominican Republic. All with the excellence and
quality that distinguish it.
A brief
review of them will allow you to decide which one you want more:
Montecristo Habanitos
These
small, carefully crafted cigars offer a medium to heavy bodied smoke that is
characterized by its slow burning and leaves a lasting sensory impression on
the palate, with notes of toasted almonds, leather, wood and sweet coconuts, in
delicious harmony.
Made in a 3.62-inch
measurement and 24 ring gauge, they come in 5 packs of 6 cigars each. These
Habanitos are a blend of aged Dominican fillings, wrapped in a smooth, creamy,
golden brown Connecticut Shade wrapper. They are an excellent option when you
don't have time to commit to a larger cigar, as they offer more flavor than
similar sized cigars.
Montecristo
Habana 2000 Magnum
The
Montecristo H2000 Magnum is made with rich aged tobaccos from the Dominican
Republic, Peru, Honduras and Nicaragua. Its super spicy, chocolate brown Habano
2000 wrapper produces an almost black ash. It is a succulent, dark and veiny
cigar that offers a complex and bold flavor with notes of coffee, earth, cedar
and molasses, a bit of black pepper and a touch of sweetness.
These
elegant glass tube cigars with cedar sleeves and a dimension of 6 x 50, are
perfect for the demanding smoker. They come in boxes of 5 but are also sold
individually. The tantalizing Cuban-style flavors and honeyed aroma of the
famous Montecristo H2000 Magnum will make your mouth water.
Montecristo
White Series
The smooth
to medium bodied Montecristo White series is a classic blend that produces a
creamy textured smoke, a luscious aroma, and a moderate yet richly nuanced
crisp finish.
These
cigars deliver a rich flavor, with silky notes of roasted almonds and sweet
coconuts, floral and earthy fragrance flavored with vanilla and coffee beans.
The elegant
Montecristo White series is one of the most requested by fans of Montecristo
cigars for its seductive combination of the most select Dominican and
Nicaraguan long fillers with the Connecticut Shade wrapper, selected by hand.
This cigar has climbed to the top of the list of world-renowned cigars and
continues to earn the highest marks from American consumers.
Montecristo
Platinum Cigars
This series
was originally introduced in 2002 and quickly became one of the most popular
offerings within the acclaimed Montecristo line. In 2007 it was revised and
reintroduced with a Dominican binder instead of the Nicaraguan one used in the
previous version.
With the
Montecristo Platinum series, Altadis set new standards for luxury hand-rolled
cigars. Each cigar is made from a supple wrapper of Cuban San Andres, grown in
Mexico's legendary San Andres Valley. It has a rich Dominican binder and a
special blend of Dominican, Nicaraguan and Peruvian long filler tobacco. That
unbeatable blend delivers a bold smoke with subtle spice, citrus, caramel and
coffee flavors, floral and earthy fragrances, with Montecristo's signature
clean and smooth finish. Solidly built but rough at the cap, this cigar offers
a fine burn and an easy draw.
Most sizes
within the Montecristo Platinum series are offered in boxes of 27 cigars.
If you
haven't tried a cigar from any of these versions yet, what are you waiting for?
Experience for yourself what excites many!
