Montecristo is the most famous and international Cuban brand and takes its name from 'The Count of Montecristo', the novel by Alejandro Dumas that the reader of the H. Upmann tobacco company read to the cigar rollers of the factory where the brand was founded in the year 1935.
Montecristo cigarillos are a reference of great quality and stand out for their unmistakable Cuban flavor both in the classic line of the brand and in the Open line, the most modern face of the brand with a smoother blend. Its exquisite blend of tobacco is made exclusively with selected short filler and binder leaves from Vuelta Abajo, home to the best tobacco in the world.
