Montecristo
Edmundo
The Montecristo Edmundo Cigar is named after the hero in Alexandre Dumas’ The Count of Montecristo and the cigar is truly a hero itself. It features an Edmundo vitola, which measures 135mm in length by a 52-ring gauge – filled with long filler that has been completely handmade by Cuba’s talented torcedors. A medium-full-bodied Cuban cigar delivers bold flavours of cedar, cinnamon and spices. All flavours are typical of Montecristo. These hand-made beauties are dressed in a specially engraved wooden box – making them an ideal gift.
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.
