Montecristo No. 2

The undisputed king of torpedoes is the Montecristo No. 2. The stately smoke with the pointy tip is known the world over and ranks as one of the best-selling cigars in the Cuban cigar portfolio. Full of deep coffee notes and earthiness balanced with floral and cedar notes….and unlike some things that sell well, Monte 2s combine commercial success with critical acclaim. This cigar has been rated dozens of times in Cigar Aficionado blind tastings. The first time was more than 20 years ago, it was given a score of 94 points. In 2013 it was given a score of 96, the highest rating ever bestowed on the cigar in a blind taste test and ranked #1 cigar of the year by Cigar Aficionado. 

Montecristo’s perfectly balanced blends are created exclusively with select filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone, home of the finest tobaccos in the world.  They offer a distinguished aroma and appeal equally to new and experienced smokers. Made using the Tripa Larga, Totalmente a Mano – long filler, totally by hand – technique.

Montecristo is the best known and probably the most appreciated brand of Habanos throughout the world. It forms the benchmark for many Habanos smokers against which other brands are judged.
