If you know the story of Montecristo’s launch of the Connoisseur series, you’re probably wondering how we still have any! And you would be correct. I remember when this promotion began around 2011-2012. The concept was that a special cigar would be created exclusively for key cities and states including New York, Chicago, Las Vegas and Texas. As these well made, box pressed medium to full bodied Toro sized cigars landed around the country they were very well received and garnered 90+ ratings. and rightly so. In fact, I think the ones we have even gotten better with age. From start to finish notes of cedarwood and a gentle mix of cocoa and hazelnut are present and sweeten up the experience. Lots of natural tobacco taste via a nice draw make these unique cigars worth a try, especially if you’re a fan of the brand.
