Montecristo
#2
The Montecristo No.2 Cigar is considered the quintessential Montecristo – undoubtedly considered one of the finest Cuban cigars by many aficionados. Sporting Piramides vitola measures 156mm by a 52-ring gauge. With a medium-full-bodied smoke, the cigar is bursting with rich and bold flavours. It’s significantly spicy, with strong notes of cinnamon and is balanced by its deep and smooth woody tones.
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.
