Montecristo Epic Vintage 12 is one of the very special cigars by this iconic company.
With attention to detail, the fine tobaccos of this exclusive cigar represent the best of the best. Coming from a rare blend of reserved Dominican and Nicaraguan leaves collected during an exceptional harvest in 2012, this is a cigar experience worth capturing. Vintage 12 surely gives rise to a high density of flavors and extraordinary complexity.
Take the case of Blind Man’s Puff giving this beauty a very respectable 93 rating. They describe it perfectly. “This cigar is a great addition to the Epic line from Montecristo, maybe the best yet. The flavors are harmonious and leave me wanting more and more. I really enjoy the caramel sweetness combined with the on and off oak flavor. The burn and draw are perfect the whole time just adding to the great experience.”
Without a doubt, if you consider yourself a seasoned smoker and have never tried this masterfully crafted cigar, now’s your chance!

PDR El Criollito was first introduced in Europe before finally making it’s way to the US.
For starters, Criollo tobacco plays a pivotal role in this blend being featured in the wrapper and in the filler. Add this to the dark Mexican binder along with vintage Dominican filler and you know this has to be good. The result is medium body, medium strength, excellent draw and a bevy of flavors. Think Natural Tobacco, Fruit, Earth, Cedar and bits of Pepper for starters.
Cigar smokers are definitely united. In Europe they love this cigar. Here in the States, the sentiment is the same. Stogie Press especially enjoyed the cinnamon notes along with the nuances of dark chocolate and almond. They rate this PDR a respectable 91. Cigar Coop exclaims, “It delivers a very classic flavor profile that can appeal to a wide range of cigar enthusiasts.” Halfwheel thinks this is a very good choice to track down and try.
BEWARE. These cigars sell quickly. Get some when we have them!
