Montecristo

Montecristo Overview

The Montecristo brand ranks as one of the most famous cigar brands of all time, with a tempting array of cigars revered worldwide for their smoothness and deep complexity. Connoisseurs and the curious alike gravitate to the prestige and sophistication of smoking a Montecristo. This stately reputation emerges from the best aged tobaccos in the Vuelta Abajo region at the heart of every Montecristo cigar.

The Montecristo brand first appeared in 1935 after entrepreneur Alonso Menendez took over as owner of the Particulares brand. This acquisition allowed Menendez to implement a new Cuban cigar brand. Legend tells us that the Montecristo name was inspired by cigar factory "lectores" who read to cigar rollers as they worked. Of course, one of the favorite stories read aloud was Alexandre Dumas' classic adventure novel, The Count of Montecristo.
