MONTECRISTO CIGARS

The Montecristo brand was created in 1935 by Menéndez, García y Cía, then the owners of the popular H. Upmann brand of cigars. Having just purchased the H. Upmann marque from J. Frankau & Co., Menéndez and García decided to produce their own subset of the regular H. Upmann line, called the H. Upmann Montecristo Selection.

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 following Montecristo's are distributed in the USA and are manufactured by hand in the Dominican Republic. They are considered some of the finest cigars on the market, the Montecristo is blended for the true cigar connoisseur. They are medium to full bodied cigars with a sweet aroma and impeccable construction.
