The Montecristo Classic represents the epitome of Dominican craftsmanship, featuring medium-bodied cigars with premium Connecticut shade wrappers, combined with the finest select Dominican binder and Dominican filler tobacco. A mild to medium-bodied cigar with a floral aroma with hints of honey, flavorful notes of almonds, butter toffee, vanilla and a long, smooth finish, the Classic line has earned recognition with a well-deserved 85+ point rating by Cigar Aficionado and a superb 91-rating from Cigar Aficionado magazine in the April 2016 issue.
Originally created in Cuba, it now finds its home in the Dominican Republic, where it's crafted by the skilled artisans at Tabacalera de Garcia. Blended by the esteemed Grupo de Maestros, who are responsible for other renowned brands like Romeo y Julieta, H. Upmann, and VegaFina, these cigars reflect the artistry and craftsmanship that define Montecristo's legacy. The Montecristo Classic cigars are crafted by hand using a luscious medley of Dominican filler tobaccos, a seasoned binder, and one of the brand's highest-quality Connecticut shade wrappers.
The Montecristo Classic is an iconic smoke that strikes a near perfect balance between refreshingly mild and a rush of toasted flavors that saturate and satisfy the palate with each draw. A well-balanced profile of rich, creamy sweetness is complemented by a tender and warming aroma; resulting in one of the most decadent smoking experiences one can find, making it suitable for both newcomers and experienced enthusiasts seeking a refined, approachable premium cigar.
