So you like Montecristo cigars
I bet you didn’t know that Cuban cigar rollers are very well educated and talented people. Well maybe you kind of figured that out on your own but I bet you didn’t know they loved reading books. Now why would that matter or what does it has to do with the Montecristo Cuban cigar brand? Well the name ‘Montecristo’ came from a novel that was very interesting to Cuban cigar rollers back in 1935. Soon Mr. Garcia the producer of Cuban cigars started calling his production line ‘Montecristo’.
The Montecristo No 2 and Montecristo No 4 are one of the popular Cuban cigar models from this brand. I enjoy this brand because it not only offers various aromas and fine construction, but the taste is amazing especially when you get to the end of the cigar. The draws are smooth on all of Montecristo models that makes it stand out and this is a definite factor in it’s popularity around the globe.
During the 1940s, a tube cigar was added but it wasn’t until after nationalization that things began to change. In 1959, Manuel Gonzalez was assigned as a floor manager in the factory and he began to add the new cigars that are now available under the Montecristo cigars brand. Even as late as 2007, new cigars continued to be released with the latest being the Edmundo Dantes.
This has led rise to some rumors that the Montecristo number 4 is what the company uses to train its amateur rollers. Regardless of the possibility that this may be true, it is still the top of the Montecristo cigars and is enjoyed by many, the world over. Frankly, it is the top selling Cuban cigar of all time right after the Cohiba. Before the Cohiba brand was introduced, the Montecristo use to be number one.
Although this particular cigar generally gives a great smoke with a lot of unique taste, it is also reported that there are inconsistencies at times, even within a particular box. Regardless of what anyone says, the Montecristo will always be a great cigar.
