Montecristo White
$45.00 – $418.01When this Cuban brand was launched in 1935, the world of Premium Cigars changed forever. Their #2 Torpedo became the world’s biggest selling cigar. I’ve had a few of them over the years and can honestly say they were ok. But that’s just me. Altadis acquired this iconic name decades ago and began producing many sizes and styles available to all of us. When this edition appeared in 2017, an entire new group of smokers discovered this brand for the first time. Many of those folks that gravitated to mild to mellow tasting cigars now had a Montecristo to call their own. The addition of tamer Nicaraguan fillers with Dominican leaves and encasing it with an Ecuadorian grown Connecticut seed wrapper yields a smooth, lighter smoke with a tiny bit of crispy spice that's enjoyable for everyone. The Court corona sized tubes are one of my favorites. Origin - Dominican Republic Filler - Dominican-Nicaraguan Binder - Nicaraguan Wrapper Type - Ecuador Connecticut -
Montecristo Espada
$58.00 – $140.40When this Cuban brand was launched in 1935, the world of Premium Cigars changed forever. Their #2 Torpedo became the world’s biggest selling cigar. I’ve had a few of them over the years and can honestly say they were ok. But that’s just me. Altadis acquired this iconic name decades ago and began producing many sizes and styles available to all of us. My Spanish lesson for today is : Espada means sword. This amazing edition began launching in 2014 and continued offering different sizes as it moved forward. When the Quillon size appeared in 2016 garnering a 92 rating and becoming one of the top 25 cigars of the year we all knew it was worth the price. The vintage Nicaraguan fillers from three prized growing regions and binder are encased in a very rare, aged wrapper from 2010. The result is a medium bodied purebred that is an interesting combination of sweetness and spice thats creamy and balanced.

Montecristo Pilotico
$74.00 – $352.00When this Cuban brand was launched in 1935, the world of Premium Cigars changed forever. Their #2 Torpedo became the world’s biggest selling cigar. I’ve had a few of them over the years and can honestly say they were ok. But that’s just me. Altadis acquired this iconic name decades ago and began producing many sizes and styles available to all of us. This 2017 edition has an interesting heritage. It turns out that around 50 years ago, Jose Pepe Mendez came upon a region in the Dominican Republic that proved to be perfect for growing tobacco leaves. It was here where he planted what is known as his Pilotico seeds. As time passed he also gained a reputation for establishing many growing techniques and grading guidelines that still exist today in the industry. The master blenders of Montecristo decided to pay homage to Mendez and his seeds by creating this three country blend that yields a sweet kind of medium bodied taste.

I’ve had a few of them over the years and can honestly say they were ok. But that’s just me. Altadis acquired this iconic name decades ago and began producing many sizes and styles available to all of us. When Monte's launched in 2013 it took a while for those in the know to catch on. Where most Dominican Montecristos are mild-medium, with Connecticut-seed wrappers, the box pressed Monte edition is blended with an Ecuadorian wrapper, Dominican long fillers and binder leaves from the Dominican and Nicaragua. The result is a well balanced medium-full bodied stick with a Cuban styled spice to light up your palate. In 2015 , when the #2 size pulled a 94 rating and was named one of the top 25 cigars of 2015, the secret was out.

$69.00 – $126.17When this Cuban brand was launched in 1935, the world of Premium Cigars changed forever. Their #2 Torpedo became the world’s biggest selling cigar. I’ve had a few of them over the years and can honestly say they were ok. But that’s just me.

The original Epic line ( also available on our site) was launched in 2012 to rave reviews and has continued to be very popular among connoisseurs. In 2017 Altadis reached out to Master Blender Nestor Plasencia to create this Nicaraguan Puro masterpiece. By placing the selected fillers and binder in tiny containers to slowly cure allowed all the flavor characteristics to blend together. Encasing these fermented leaves in a rare 11 year old Rosado wrapper went on to produce a perfectly made, truly unique medium-full bodied smoke. Get them while we have them!

Montecristo Epic
$71.00 – $237.50You know the name. What sets this 90 rated Epic series apart is two things. The rollers are the Maestros of the factory and the Dominican and Nicaraguan filler leaves used go back as far as 13 years. The result is a solid medium to full bodied complex smoke that is perfectly made, draws consistently, and is worth the price. Origin - Dominican Republic Filler - Dominican-Nicaraguan Binder - Nicaraguan Wrapper Type - Ecuador Habano -
Montecristo Connoiseur
$62.00 – $170.00These very cool cigars hit the street about 10 years ago with the NY edition being the first entry. The line then expanded to represent other states. At the time they were introduced, the “CIGAR POLICE” made sure they were never found in a store outside of an edition’s namesake state. They were and still are pretty expensive. Oddly enough, even after the aura of exclusivity wore off, the cigars continued to be made and sold. Why? Because when the dust cleared, they’re still exceptionally good medium bodied sticks. The New York cigar is blended at the renowned Tabacalera de Garcia, is box-pressed, un cellowed and finished with an absolutely beautiful Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. It’s smooth, balanced, draws perfectly and is a great smoking experience. The Texas blend is also box-pressed, un cellowed and more of a complex stick yielding a slightly elevated taste at the top of the medium bodied scale. Like it’s N.Y. cousin, it also draws well and is an enjoyable smoking experience as well. ***Keep in mind that I recommend NOT buying five of these sticks at a time. They’re delicate specimens that should remain in their boxes for traveling. Origin - Dominican Republic Filler - Dominican-Nicaraguan Binder - Dominican-Nicaraguan Wrapper Type - Ecuadorian Habano
