Montecristo Cuban cigars 101
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.
Since that time, Montecristo cigars have become one of the most popular cigars that are available throughout the entire world and it is held by many to be the standard as far as Cuban cigars are concerned. To be certain, any other Cuban cigars are judged by the Montecristo. The original Montecristo cigars continued to be manufactured and hand rolled for many years without anything new really being added to the brand.
The variety this brand offers is very inviting to the young or new cigar enthusiast. Montecristo offers hand rolled and even machine rolled cigars. What do I prefer? Hand rolled of course. I mean I’ve been smoking Cuban cigars for almost 10 years now so I have my own certain preference. For you, if you are a new comer, that if your Montecristos are machine rolled, that is actually not bad and it will help you further understand and appreciate this legendary brand.
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.
