Montecristo
Petit Edmundo
The Montecristo Petit Edmundo Cigar is an excellent specimen showing how Montecristo can deliver flavour in smaller-sized Cuban cigars. An exemplary Petit Edmundo vitola measures 110mm by a broad ring gauge of 52. Whilst it’s a bit less complex than its sibling, the Montecristo Edmundo Cigar – you can still expect a range of flavours. Delivering chocolaty and woody flavours with a hint of black pepper.
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.
