Montecristo Classic Cuban Cigar

Montecristo classic series A traditional Connecticut Shade wrapper marries a conventional and creamy blend of Dominican binder and filler tobaccos in series of popular sizes handmade in the Dominican Republic. Montecristo Classic is just a touch stronger than the original Montecristo Cuban Cigar, but it maintains a toasty and woody taste with smoked almond, cedar, and baking spices in the background.

From Montecristo’s website: In 1935, Alonso Menendez purchased the Particulares cigar factory in Cuba with hopes of creating a new premium cigar brand. During this time, it was common among torcedores (cigar rollers) to have the famous Alexandre Dumas novel “The Count of Monte Cristo” read by a lector on the cigar rolling floor. Inspired by this tradition, Menendez gave life to one of the most well know cigar brands today – Montecristo.
