Montecristo is the best-known and probably the most appreciated Habanos brand in the world. It serves as an essential benchmark for many smokers, acting as a point of comparison for judging other brands.
Its name comes from the hero of Alexandre Dumas' famous novel The Count of Monte Cristo, a work that was particularly appreciated when read aloud by the Lector to the Torcedores (cigar rollers) in the factory where the brand was founded in 1935.
The initial Montecristo range consisted of a limited assortment, numbered from 1 to 5. Today, it offers a wide variety of vitolas suited to all levels of cigar enthusiasts.
Montecristo's perfectly balanced blends are created exclusively from filler and binder leaves carefully selected in the Vuelta Abajo region, recognized as the cradle of the best tobacco in the world.
