Description
Montecristo Monte is one of the best cigars this amazing company produces. To begin with, Altadis acquired the Montecristo name for outside of Cuba in 1990 and began producing many sizes and styles available to all of us. Over the years, this brand’s portfolio continues to grow adding blends appealing to every smoker. Expensive? Yes. Worth the price? Absolutely. Quality, consistency, draw and taste complexity remain perfect to this day.
When Monte launched in 2013 it took a while for those in the know to catch on. To point out, most Dominican Montecristos are mild to medium bodied with Connecticut-seed wrappers. With attention to detail, the box pressed Monte features a multi-national blend with tobaccos from three countries. The result is a well balanced medium-full bodied smoke with a Cuban styled spice to light up your palate. In 2015 , when the #2 size pulled a 94 rating by Cigar Aficionado and was named one of their top 25 cigars of the year, the secret was out.
To sum up, Montecristo Monte is available in 4 popular sizes of 16 count boxes. If you’ve never tried a Monte, you’re really missing out on an amazing smoking experience.

When this Cuban brand was launched in 1935, the world of Premium Cigars changed forever. Their #2 Torpedo became the world’s biggest selling cigar. I’ve had a few of them over the years and can honestly say they were ok. But that’s just me. Altadis acquired this iconic name decades ago and began producing many sizes and styles available to all of us.
When Monte’s launched in 2013 it took a while for those in the know to catch on. Where most Dominican Montecristos are mild-medium, with Connecticut-seed wrappers, the box pressed Monte edition is blended with an Ecuadorian wrapper, Dominican long fillers and binder leaves from the Dominican and Nicaragua. The result is a well balanced medium-full bodied stick with a Cuban styled spice to light up your palate. In 2015 , when the #2 size pulled a 94 rating and was named one of the top 25 cigars of 2015, the secret was out.
