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
This figurado is the little sister, or shorter sister, of the legendary Montecristo No.2. The figurado format increases the intensity of flavour as the cigar is smoked. The aromas of the typical Montecristo blend also increase as the smoke progresses. It offers a very similar range of flavours to its big sister.
