Montecristo
#4
The Montecristo No.4 Cigar is a must-have for all aficionados! It’s undoubtedly a Montecristo favourite here at EGM. This Cuban cigar was constructed immaculately – with its smooth wrapper has very few veins and no hard or weak spots. It features a Marevas shape, which is considered the typical Habanos shape. You can expect bold earthy notes without being overpowering – with complements of fresh wood and a touch of spice.
Description
MONTECRISTO
In July 1935, Alonso Menéndez purchased the Particulares Factory, makers of the popular Particulares brand and the lesser-known Byron. Immediately after its acquisition, he created a new brand named Montecristo. The name for the brand was inspired by the Alexandre Dumas, père novel The Count of Monte Cristo, which was supposedly a very popular choice among the torcedores (cigar rollers) in their factory to have read by the lector on the rolling floor. The nowfamous Montecristo logo, consisting of a triangle of six swords surrounding a fleurde-lis, was designed by John Hunter Morris and Elkan Co. Ltd., the brand’s British distributor.
