About Montecristo Cigars
Montecristo’s perfectly balanced blends are created exclusively with select filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone, home of the finest tobaccos in the world. They offer a distinguished aroma and appeal equally to new and experienced smokers. Made using the Tripa Larga, Totalmente a Mano – long filler, totally by hand – technique.
Montecristo is the best known and probably the most appreciated brand of Habanos throughout the world. It forms the benchmark for many Habanos smokers against which other brands are judged.
The name comes from the hero of Alexandre Dumas’ famous novel ‘The Count of Montecristo’, which was a firm favourite when read by the Lector to the Torcedores (cigar makers) at the factory where it was founded in 1935.

I have had this stick 4 or 5 times now! I actually tend to stick closer to smaller sticks and this one is a great choice. A quick smoke, less than an hour. Makes great time and great flavor if you cant sit around all evening. Its not too tight and you can get a good long pull without much effort Light hints of citrus, beans, and tangy chocolate. I recommend this stick without a doubt! Good cheap cigar for a quick smoke.

The Montecristo 5 is a definite favourite as the evenings are rare that I can enjoy a bigger stick. Although starts out bitter that quickly fades with notes of coffee and dark chocolate. Loads of flavour for such a small cigar!

a good small cigar, I wasnt amazed by the cigar, but it tasted good and smoked well. I would definitely toss a few in for social smoking (as said in another review its a quick smoke (mine lasting 30-40 mins)

great construction, lots of smoke with an easy draw
very earthy taste that stays constant throughout.
good for a 45 minute sit with a strong coffee
Well worth a try
