This cigar stands out for its great consistency and balanced aromatic profile, marked by woody, spicy notes and a taste of roasted coffee.
Montecristo is one of the most iconic Habanos brands in the world. Founded in 1935 in Havana by Alonso Menendez, it owes its name to the hero of the novel *The Count of Monte Cristo* by Alexandre Dumas, a work often read to the *torcedores* in cigar factories. The brand started with five sizes numbered 1 to 5, then expanded to meet the expectations of the most demanding aficionados. Its current range extends from the majestic Montecristo A to more compact sizes such as the Montecristo Edmundo and Petit Edmundo, launched in 2004 and 2007. In 2009, Montecristo introduced the Open line, a milder, modern range aimed at a broader audience.
