The Montecristo Supremos is the first of the much anticipated 2019 Habanos Limited Edition to be released in the UK. It is presented in a bespoke, Montecristo yellow box of 25 cigars and shares it’s dimensions with the ever-popular Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill, measuring 5 1⁄4” (130mm) and with a ring gauge of 55.
This is the 10th time that Montecristo, the world’s best selling Havana brand, has been called upon to produce a prestigious Limited Edition and no other brand has produced more.
Within the Limited Edition series, which began in 2000 and can now boast of having over 60 releases, there are just three cigars with a larger diameter than the Montecristo Supremos.
This medium to full bodied cigar provides an hour or so of classic ‘tangy’ Montecristo taste, with the dark wrapper providing a slightly sweet top-taste to the blend and the extra ageing of all the leaves ensuring a rounded, smooth smoke.
Montecristo is one of the biggest Habanos brands in the UK for those who enjoy a little spice and in their lives. The brand dates back to the 1935 when it was first released as part of the H Upmann range. Initially called “the H. Upmann Montecristo Selection”, it gave the H Upmann factory a stronger and bolder addition to the line. When Hunters cigar importers in the UK, took over the factory it shortened the name and introduced the current Red & Yellow logo.
