Montecristo in Brief.
Montecristo dates to 1935 in Havana. The brand split in the 1960s after the Cuban embargo — the non-Cuban version, made in the Dominican Republic, is the one US smokers know. Altadis produces several modern interpretations of the classic, including collaborations with the Garcia family at My Father.
Style: Mild to medium, polished Dominican.
