Yesterday I spoke briefly about the Montecristo Open Series Eagle and it made me think about the first time I smoked one of the new additions to the Montecristo line… The first cigar I chose was the Regata and, although I’m not sure why, the one thing that struck me was how interesting it was […]

I’m a firm believer that for every Montecristo cigar there is a Montecristo devotee. The Open Eagle, pictured above on the box it WASN’T sold in, is 5 7/8 inches long and a 54 ring gauge. This is the biggest of the Open series that came out last year and a lot of controversy has […]

This triangular bottle is adorned with the Montecristo logo against a yellow […]

Cigars sold out of Cuba last year revealed that Montecristo had 21% of the market but all is not well with the Cuban export. Many factors may contribute to the decline of exports that some say is down 8% from the year before….My belief is that the ailing economy isn’t helping and people’s constant changing […]

This post is probably going to be one of the shorter publications in this site. This year some time which is undisclosed for the time being, we should see a new cigar from Montecristo.

I was never much of a cowboy but grew up on a ranch on the prairies in Canada. I always thought that cows tasted great but that was as far as it went when it came to my passion for that creature. As a kid I noticed that all winter you had […]

Montecristo cigars were started by the founders, Alonzo Menendez and Pepe Garcia in 1935 with just 5 sizes…Montecristo, first known as H. Upmann Montecristo Selection and sold through Dunhill in New York, was a prestigious sideline to test Mendendez’s leaf skills and Garcia’s knowledge of production… The name change to Montecristo was […]
