Although the Montecristo brand is not one of the oldest Habanos brands, it is one of the best known and most popular worldwide. It sets the standard by which many Habanos smokers measure other brands. The name of the brand comes from the tradition of the torcedores of the H.Upmann factory, where Montecristo was created around 1935. They had a fondness for the famous novel “The Count of Monte Cristo” by Alexandre Dumas. The brand stands for first-class cigars and cigarillos with the unmistakable Montecristo taste. The Linéa Clásica blends offer a perfect balance of medium to strong flavors and consist of exquisite tobacco leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region - the cradle of the best tobacco in the world. The short format also benefits from this top blend, which has already made the Montecristo Mini and Club so successful. After the Montecristo Brillantes, a smaller, machine-made format is now dedicated to the Chinese Year of the Snake. The Montecristo Short Year-of-the-Snake Edición Limitada 2025 is presented in an elegantly lacquered, numbered wooden box with cedar wood lining. This strictly limited edition includes only 13,776 boxes worldwide and is only available for a short time.
