Montecristo Cigar milder than Cohiba

jason — Fri, 17 Mar 2006 23:44:49 +0000

Montecristo is one of the most popular Havana cigar brands. They are generally milder than Cohiba, and have a characteristic aroma, created by storing leaves in a special type of cedar wood box. With their slightly oily wrapper, they offer a medium to full flavour tangy taste. The No.2 is the flagship for the torpedo size.

In 2003 Habanos S.A. had introduced the Montecristo Company 95th Anniversary Humidor, a limited-edition work dedicated to the 95th birthday of Cuba's most famous musician.

Each humidor comes packed with 95 cigars: 55 Montecristo No. 4s, the ubiquitous petit coronas that are the best-selling Cuban cigars in the world, and 40 Montecristo Salomones No. 2s, rare, fat figurados. Keeping with the "95" theme, only 95 of the humidors will be sold.

Each cigar has a special band with the face of Segundo, similar to the ones on the Montecristo No. 3s presented to Segundo in January 2001

Sale of the humidors will help a good cause -- Habanos said it will dedicate 20 percent of the proceeds to art schools in Cuba.
