One of the most popular Cuban cigars of all time, mentioned in countless movies, tv shows and pretty much all over the world, the Montecristo Cuban cigar made Cuban cigars international on a global level. Started in the year nineteen thirty five by ‘Garci’ as they called him, the Montecristo line up produces one of the best Cuban cigars known to man. It also happens to be quite a treat but we will definitely get to that later.

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.

Montecristo also offers a lot machine rolled cigars now which I guess can contribute to it’s decline in popularity. People like the rare and exotic notion that is attached to Cuban cigars and machine rolled cigars really don’t help. However, I understand it as the machine rolled Cuban cigars are very light in taste and great for beginners trying to step into the Cuban cigar genre to expand their horizons and senses. Remember though that the hand rolled version of Montecristo Cuban cigars are still considered one of the best cigars in the world.

Montecristo cigars have also stepped away from the hand rolled tradition to a certain extent and have added three different machine rolled cigars into the mix, the mini, the Purito and the club. Of all of the Montecristo cigars that are in existence, however, the Montecristo number 4 is not only the best-known cigar that is rolled by this company, it is the world’s best-selling cigar.

If you like a mild to strong cigars but prefer the best in quality, the Montecristo is for you. This brand of Cuba offers a variety of models that will satisfy anyone’s needs. You just can’t beat a Cuban cigar and you can’t beat a Montecristo.
