A brand steeped in prestige and heritage, Montecristo has become synonymous with luxury, premium cigars and are some of the most famous and sought-after cigars in the world. Through the years we’ve seen quite a few collaborations between the talented team at Montecristo and AJ Fernandez, stocking their portfolio full of popular blends, perhaps the most notable being the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Nicaragua amassing countless accolades. And, while masterpiece is oft uttered during discussions of fine cigars, this latest series is truly unlike anything the cigar industry has seen thus far. Entering new territory, Montecristo’s latest creation is galvanized by thei...r commitment to history, nobility and tradition. The cigar encapsulates the ideal balance of their evolutionary spirit and enduring dedication to excellence, placing the focus on the nuances and subtleties of an exceptionally aged wrapper culminating in a true masterpiece. Introducing Montecristo M. Like many Montecristos in the iconic portfolio, the Montecristo M is made in Nicaragua by A.J. Fernandez. Showcasing elite craftsmanship, this premium cigar boasts a golden leaf of Ecuadorian tobacco grown from Connecticut seeds that is said to be aged over 20 years. The maturity of the leaf heightens the inherent characteristics of the wrapper, beautifully symphonizing with an exclusive blend of extra-fermented Nicaraguan tobaccos. Unlike the other Montecristos crafted by Fernandez, the Montecristo M was intentionally blended to be medium-bodied allowing the subtle, aged profile to shine through while the Nicaraguan binders and fillers are dialed back in strength. The tasting notes are well-rounded, taking the smoker on a journey far beyond what they have encountered before. Senses will be encompassed by hints of wood and nuts along with immense creaminess, sweetness, and a soft white pepper tone emanating gradually through the smoke, thanks to meticulous aging and blending. Long after the final puff, left is a lingering taste on the palate and a lasting impression on the mind. The Montecristo M cigar is presented in elegant, uniquely shaped wooden boxes that hold 20 cigars. Each box includes a certificate of authenticity signed by A.J. Fernández and David Perez, the grower of the rare wrapper leaf. Due to the rare leaves, the cigars are a small-batch production, crafted with utmost care and attention to detail Montecristo fans have come to expect.
