The most famous of the many famous Havana brands started only in 1935 as a
new brand from Menendez, Garcia y Cia., then the owners of the H. Upmann brand.
The name is reported to have been inspired by Alexandre Dumas' 1844 novel Le
Comte de Montecristo. With a strong marketing effort from Alfred Dunhill of
London, this brand became the most popular of all Havana exports. There are
no machine-made shapes in this range and the strength is medium; in fact, it
has become the standard by which all other Havanas are now judged.
