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 

On the palate, this Montecristo Especial is extremely strong, with a bouquet of aromas typical of Montecristo cigars. The vitola's combustibility is very good, but its small circumference makes it slightly resistant to drawing. The cigar is characterised by a particularly copious, rich and imposing earthy aroma. The strength of this aroma is slightly tempered by a creamy cocoa flavour. This earthy aroma is perceptible from the very first smoke.
