Montecristo Nicaragua Series

Just how good is the Montecristo Nicaragua Series cigar? A rhetorical question if ever there was one, because there’s no way this premium handmade cigar could be anything less than spectacular. If you have doubts about our sincerity, let’s cover the basics. First of all, this is a Montecristo, an iconic brand that has shined through the ages thanks to a rock-solid commitment to producing only the finest cigars. Then there’s the creator of this new classic, the incomparable A.J. Fernandez, who ensures each vitola is lovingly crafted at his Estelí-based factory, keeping the taste true to his exclusive original blend. Lastly, and most importantly, only the finest aged Nicaraguan long-leaf tobacco is used in every layer of this full-bodied, flavorful masterpiece. Elegant in appearance and heady with potent aromas, each solid, barrel-shaped cigar proudly wears the iconic Montecristo band. Take slow, deliberate draws as you apply the flame to the broad foot, making sure it’s fully lit so you don’t miss a drop of its complex flavor. Generous with espresso, oak, and meaty char, the Montecristo Nicaragua also unveils more subtle notes of cardamom, dry-roasted peanut, sweet cream, and salted caramel. By the time the nub is finally laid to rest, your palate will have savored dark chocolate, black cherry, and a touch of bitter herbs. Rated #10 Cigar of the Year in 2018 with a 93 rating by Cigar Aficionado magazine, the Montecristo Nicaragua Series Robusto has earned its accolades. But accolades aside, you’ll need to experience it for yourself to understand why it’s so revered. Fans of rich, complex Nicaraguan smokes like the 602 Maduro or E.P. Carrillo Encore will find plenty to love. Grab a box or two, pour that rare bottle of Scotch or tawny port you’ve been saving, and prepare for a truly exceptional smoking experience.
