Montecristo Cigars – Cuban

Montecristo first started its journey in 1935 in Cuba, when Alonso Menendez acquired Cuba’s Particulares Factory to create a new premium cigar brand. During this time, it was customary for cigar rollers to be read books and stories by a lector as they worked. Taking inspiration from the novel The Count of Monte Cristo, the cigar brand Montecristo was born. 

The premium cigar brand quickly rose to the top of the cigar industry through its distinct flavour and expanded its production. They subsequently purchased the H. Upmann Factory in 1937 and moved the production there. Then, with the help of Alfred Dunhill, Montecristo became the most popular cigar brand in the world.

This was led by the legendary Montecristo No. 2, which became a sensational hit and remains a classic. It is known for its consistent quality and a unique, inimitable flavour, lending to its appearance in ‘best cigars’ lists year after year. The Montecristo No. 4 is another crowd-pleaser that was a best-seller for years due to its small and digestible size. Despite the fact that it is produced in large quantities, the No. 4 never disappoints. 

It remains one of the best-selling cigar brands in the world, known for its strong and masculine blends. Its combination of history, quality, and ubiquity make it a unique choice in the Cuban cigar world.
