Brand Story

It was in Havana, in 1935, that Alonso Menendez, from a long line of merchants, founded the Montecristo brand in reference to Alexandre Dumas' hero. It seems that the torcedores particularly enjoyed having these adventures read to them while they worked. The Menendez family soon bought the Particulares factory, followed by the H.Upmann factory in 1937. Montecristo's success has never waned, the brand maintaining both tradition and modernity, with the launch of limited and relevant editions. In 2009, a range of milder, more modern cigars, called Open, was launched in Havana.

Product Detail 

It was only after examination and tasting by the most experienced experts, including members of the Tobacco Research Institute, the National Tasting Commission and of course Habanos SA itself, that the Montecristo Línea was launched in 1935. The box for this line has a timeless design, painted in a beautiful caramel brown to match the cigar wrapper and with bevelled edges. The brand's fleur-de-lys logo is visible on the lid. The blend of these leaves gives the cigars a beautiful layer of caramel color and a full, strong flavor, unlike Montecristo's slightly milder Habanos .
