Description
Montecristo Pepe Mendez Pilotico is a collaboration between Altadis U.S.A’s Grupo de Maestros team and Dominican tobacco company José Mendez & Co. 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.
With attention to detail, the Pepe Mendez Pilotico is the definition of expert craftsmanship. While it’s one of the higher priced Montecristos, it’s an extremely good one. To put it another way, this vintage blend is a flavor bomb! This medium bodied smoke yields heaps of natural tobacco taste and aromatic smoke. Cigar Coop rates it a respectable 92 and describes it perfectly. “While the Montecristo Pilotico Pepe Mendez Toro has excellent flavor, there is one thing that really surprises me – and that is the complexity and change-ups this cigar delivers. If you like a cigar that undergoes a lot of flavor transitions, then this is a cigar for you.”
If you’re a fan of boutique blends and Montecristo cigars, this one should be in your humidor.
To sum up, Montecristo Pepe Mendez Politico is available in 2 popular sizes of 5-packs
