Montecristo Platinum

A top shelf ultra-premium for the modern age, the Montecristo Platinum might just represent the pinnacle of your search for the consummate cigar. With a legacy that stretches back nearly a century, some newer smokers might consider the brand to be a relic of a bygone era, but wise aficionados know better. With a host of sticks of the utmost quality that cater to any preference, the various Montecristo cigars offer the best of the best to everyone. The luxurious Platinum is crafted for experienced palates, those able to withstand the veritable mosaic of full-bodied flavors supplied by rare Nicaraguan, Dominican, and Peruvian long-filler tucked firmly into a gorgeous and chocolatey Mexican San Andres wrapper. The Montecristo Platinum Series has earned multiple 90+ ratings from Cigar Aficionado, praised for its rich, balanced flavors and exceptional craftsmanship. Perhaps a fortunate virtue for when your pals go rummaging through your humidor for a stogie, the true qualities of a Montecristo Platinum are easily overlooked by the unsophisticated eye. Wearing understated gold-trimmed platinum double bands that belie the care and skill with which the entire cigar is hand crafted, the ruddy and sleek outer tobacco leaf that covers the generously rolled vitola is so perfectly flawless it almost defies belief. However, once the supple triple cap is clipped, the broad foot well-lit, and rich clouds of smoke pour from the barrel, you’ll discover the truth. The profile it creamy and vibrant from the start, with bittersweet cocoa and hickory wood balanced by a marshmallow-like softness. As you are slowly lulled into contemplative relaxation, the flavors of sweet yet robust turkish coffee, leather, crisp pear, salted almonds, and earthy cinnamon arrive to keep you fully engaged until the nub becomes too small to hold. For a cigar of this price and pedigree, it’s common practice to tuck them away waiting for just the right special moment to light one up. While they will certainly age nicely, we say the Montecristo Platinum will make any occasion special so go ahead and enjoy whenever you like. If you already have the future day in mind, satisfy yourself in the meantime with some Romeo San Andres by RyJ or JFR XT Maduro.
