Description
Montecristo Nicaragua is a collaboration between Rafael Nodal, head of product capability for Altadis U.S.A., and Master Blender A.J. Fernandez. 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. That is to say quality, consistency, draw and taste complexity remain perfect to this day.
With attention to detail, this exceptionally fine cigar is expertly crafted in Nicaragua and made solely from vintage Nicaraguan tobacco. The result is a smooth tasting, medium bodied smoke that’s one of the best Montecristo makes. No surprise Cigar Aficionado rates it an astounding 93. They did one even better by naming it their #10 cigar of 2018 proving the point even further. Their description of this beauty is spot on. “The balance of this cigar is undeniable, medium to full in body, resonating with the fine qualities of chocolate-covered espresso beans, rich woods and dried fruit.”
Provided that you’re a fan of Montecristo and AJ Fernandez, Montecristo Nicaragua should be in your humidor today! Enough said!
To sum up, Montecristo Nicaragua is available in 4 popular sizes of 20 count boxes.
