Montecristo Cigars
As
one of the most famous brands in the
world, this Dominican version of the
Montecristo has a golden
Connecticutwrapper that encases a medium
bodied blend of premium long filler
tobaccos.
In old Cuba, it was common place for
cigar rollers to be entertained with the
reading from stories and books to break
up what was typically a long day. One
such story that was a favorite among the
factory workers was the tale of the
Count of Montecristo. Legend has it,
that the reading of this story is what
paved the way for the Montecristo brand.
Relatively speaking, Montecristo is a
newer brand, making its start in Cuba in
1935.
The Dominican version debuted in the
United States in 1995, during the peak
of the cigar boom. They are medium
bodied with a moderate finish. As one of
the most recognizable names in cigars,
this newer Dominican version lives up
the prestigious reputation set forth
decades ago, combining an enticing aroma
with flawless construction. This cigar
is an icon in the cigar industry.
