The Cigar Club Perspective
This is not merely a cigar — it is a documented artefact of Havana history, curated for those who value rarity, provenance, and uncompromising quality above all else.
MONTECRISTO
Montecristo is the most recognised and revered name in Havana cigars — a brand that has, for decades, defined the benchmark by which all others are judged.
Founded in 1935, the brand takes its name from Alexandre Dumas’ The Count of Montecristo, a novel famously read aloud to the torcedores at the factory during its early years. From the outset, Montecristo has been synonymous with tradition, craftsmanship, and quiet prestige.
The original range was deliberately restrained, comprising just five numbered vitolas — a reflection of the brand’s early commitment to precision and balance. Today, Montecristo offers a broader portfolio of sizes, thoughtfully developed to meet the expectations of every level of the discerning cigar enthusiast.
From the classic medium-to-full bodied core line, through the refined Open Series, to the bold intensity of the Línea 1935, every Montecristo blend is crafted with unwavering consistency. Each is produced exclusively using carefully selected filler and binder leaves from Cuba’s legendary Vuelta Abajo region — universally regarded as the source of the finest cigar tobacco in the world.
