Debuting in Cuba in 1935, Montecristo is a brand that has earned the moniker of Classic. In cigar factories in Cuba, it was not uncommon for cigar rollers to be entertained with someone reading to them. Legend has it one of the favorite titles was Count of Montecristo, and that is how the brand was born. Montecristo Classic Toro is the epitome of of this stalwart brand. A flawless Connecticut shade wrapper drapes the finest of Dominican binder and filler tobaccos. Made in the Dominican at the famed Tabacalera de Garcia factory since 1995, Montecristo Classic cigars are sure to to please even the most discerning smokers of mild-to-medium bodied sticks.
The classic Montecristo tin lets smokers know they are smoking something special. The wrapper on these diminutive sticks is a beautiful mottled light brown. The creaminess which comes through on the first puff is present for the entire cigar. Montecristo Classic Minis, sized at 2 7/8" x 20, capture the smoothness and flavor of their larger counterparts, in a very pleasant, short smoke. A slight earthy aftertaste lingers on the palate making this a wonderful cigar you will remember throughout your day. With a construction as great as the flavor, this is a cigar you will surely want to keep stocked in your humidor.
Montecristo Classic Minis are the perfect example of what a mild-to-medium smoke should be in an on-the-go size. Perfectly balanced, there is a flavorful puff awaiting you with each draw. We found this a fantastic cigar to start the day with, meshing with our morning coffee to a tee. Other great Montecristos to try are the Montecristo White for a slightly milder experience or the Platinum for a little more spice.
