Montecristo - A Medium to Full Flavour

Introduced in 1935 by the H. Upmann factory, Montecristo appeared first in just five sizes described by numbers not names. The other sizes (for example the "A" and Especiales) were added in the early 1970's. Using a specially graded "ligero" leaf in the filler they created a nuance of flavour, which has delighted the palates of cigar smokers ever since. Sixty years later Montecristo has become the worlds most sought after Havana, a position it retains today.
