This unique and hard to come by sampler consists of 5 very rare Montecristo cigars. Here are the cigars you can get:
A luxury showcase from seed to smoke, celebrating the 85th Anniversary of Montecristo. The Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Nicaragua is presented as a soft-pressed series of four luxury sizes that combines classic craftsmanship and the finest tobaccos the Nicaragua region has to offer.
When 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.

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.

Altadis acquired this iconic name decades ago and began producing many sizes and styles available to all of us. For the record, this 94 rated edition beat out most of its Cuban competitors at the time. This four country blended stick is noticeably stronger than the Original series with more of a Cuban styled spicy taste that’s not overpowering. Like its counterparts, this edition is perfectly made with a great draw. This medium-full bodied beauty increases in intensity as you move along.

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.
