Montecristo
Montecristo Double Edmundo - Single Cigar
MONTECRISTO
Montecristo is the best known and probably the most appreciated brand of Havanas throughout the world. It forms the benchmark for many Havana smokers against which other brands are judged.
The name comes from Alexandre Dumas’ famous novel ‘The Count of Montecristo’, which was a firm favourite when read to the Torcedores (cigar rollers) 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.
Whether it is within the classic medium-to-full line, the lighter Open Series or the newer, more powerful, Linea 1935, Montecristo’s perfectly balanced blends are all created exclusively with selected filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone, home of the finest tobaccos in the world.
DOUBLE EDMUNDO
This cigar from Montecristo, the Double Edmundo, was announced at the 2013 Habanos festival alongside the Petit Piramide. Both of these Montecristo cigars come baring the new embossed Montecristo band.
Nearly an inch longer than the original Edmundo and slightly slimmer is a welcome addition to the line up.

"Made with a slightly spongy head, this cigar has an insubstantial draw. It’s grassy and herbal with some black tea and woody notes as well as a finish of dark toast..."
