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 

No. 5 is the smallest of the Montecristos, but it shouldn't be ignored. When smoked relatively fresh, its impetuous, almost aggressive character quickly becomes apparent and you feel a little taken by surprise. Proper storage helps to break this impetuosity. If you're patient, you'll be rewarded with the brand's typical wood and spice notes, which are also balanced, clean and intense.
