Montecristo A
Description
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
The Montecristo A was introduced in 1971 and is currently the brand's longest cigar. You can expect around two and a half hours of enjoyment. Typical Montecristo aromas such as earth and coffee are well present.
Due to the use of large wrapper leaves, this cigar is quite rare in specialist stores.
Each Montecristo A is individually packaged in a varnished wooden box. It is therefore ideal as a gift.
