Montecristo No.2

Overview: Montecristo No.2

The King of the Piramides, the top selling cigar in the last decade. The Montecristo No. 2 is a Piramide vitola, often referred to as a torpedo, this fine cigar measures 156mm in length with a 52 ring gauge. They are widely regarded as one of, if not the finest example of this vitola. 

The numbered series is the founding line of cigars that launched the Montecristo brand in 1935, they are hand rolled and filled with the finest tobacco leaves from the Piñar del Rio region of Cuba. This range is aged for two years after being rolled, making them a gorgeous smoke right out of the box. 

These are elite cigars, winning the title of cigar of the year in 2013, and going on to become one of the best selling Cuban cigars of all time. This may seem less impressive since they have been in production since 1935, but not when you consider that the formula remains untouched through all those years.  

The No. 2 starts out slowly with a creamy but cool smoke that offers a gorgeous bouquet of flavours including sweet spices like cinnamon and nutmeg mixed with almond, leather and a tangy cedar note. 

They are a wonderful blend of full flavour with a medium bodied intensity that will satisfy an aficionado but won’t overwhelm a novice. While Montecristo No. 2 smokes wonderfully right out of the box, they are also aging perfectly if you can manage to let them rest for a few years.
