Description
Montecristo Monte by AJ Fernandez – 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. In 2017, Altadis reached out to Master Blender A.J. Fernandez to commission a cigar with his signature that was worthy of the brand. And did he ever. We weren’t surprised at the 90+ ratings this edition received since then. Montecristo Monte by AJ Fernandez is encasing aged Dominican Criollo fillers with a selected Nicaraguan binder in a 17-year-old Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. This yields a balanced, smooth medium-full bodied flavor. This dark cigar is perfectly made and draws well.
