Typically offering medium-bodied cigars, Montecristo can satisfy the taste of all cigar smokers. Be they a novice smoking their first cigar or a cigar veteran who wishes to smoke after a hearty meal.
History of Montecristo Cigars
Montecristo cigars was founded in 1935, when Alonso Menendez purchased the Cuban Particulares factory from the makers of the popular Particulares cigar brand and renamed the brand after the cigar rollers’ favourite book ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’. At the time, torcedors would have a book read to them while they worked.
During the Cuban revolution, Montecristo was nationalised, and the brand continued production at the H. Upmann factory. The brand was able to establish itself as one of Cuba’s top lines and is now one of the most popular Cuban cigar brands in the world with a quarter of the market share.
What Do Montecristo Cigars Taste Like?
Montecristo cigars are typically medium-bodied, offering the perfect balance that allows both novice and experienced smokers to enjoy them.
While the specific flavour profiles vary between each cigar, the Montecristo line in general tends to share a natural woody flavour with tasting notes of spice and a signature bitter-sweet tang that makes Montecristo such a distinguished player in the cigar industry.
Montecristo No 4
The Montecristo No 4 is the best-selling cigar in the world, and one we would certainly recommend you try. A great cigar for novice smokers and aficionados alike, this cigar has a great earthy taste accompanied by the classic tang that Montecristo has become known for.
The cigar is not too full-bodied nor too light and provides a fairly intense smoke due to the cigar’s stout figure. When smoking a Montecristo No. 4, you’ll be rewarded with a smooth smoke that offers deliciously balanced flavours of coffee, cocoa, vanilla and caramel.
