Cigar Shop Cuban Cohiba Montecristo guaranteed authentic Vancouver Cigar

Each year Habanos releases cigars that are either Limited Editions or Regional Editions.  Extra care is taken when aging, blending and rolling Cuban tobacco and 2012 saw the release of the Montecristo 520, an amazing Montecristo. The cigar was named to commemorate the 520th anniversary of the arrival of Cuban Tobacco to Europe.

This cigar's factory name is a Maravillas No. 3, ( 55 ring gauge and 6 inches in length) and was rolled in this size for the first time for Habanos.   Lovers of Montecristo will find that this Limited Edition seems to offer even more of what smokers usually expect from this marca, more chocolate, more coffee and cedar.  Expect a bit of sweetness after this cigar has aged for a year and expect to taste possibly one of the finest Montecristos available today.

Imagine lighting up a Montecristo No 2 with all of it's leather, chocolate and dark coffee.  Now cut the intensity in half and that will be the beginning of a Montecristo A with the same flavour profile but just not as intense.  The first half will deliver smooth and light flavours of nuts and wood which are very pleasant, but halfway through you'll start to detect an intensity slowly building until you find yourself, to some degree, being reminded of the Montecristo 2,  the Edmundo and the No 4's, but in a much larger format.

This is a big cigar that requires a big commitment, you'll need two hours plus to enjoy and finish this Gran Corona with it's 47 ring gauge and 9.25 inches of Cuba's finest tobacco leaves.  Being that this is a cigar of large dimension, it probably won't be an everyday affair but one that will be truly memorable and worth every penny spent.

Released in 2015, this Churchill from Montecristo is handmade then aged from 5 to 8 years before being shipped to dealers worldwide. Those who have difficulty holding onto cigars in their humidors for any length of time will now be able to taste the difference that aging a fine Cuban cigar provides. Sweetness is the first flavor you'll experience as this Churchill is loaded with notes of sweet honey, raisins and cedar. Set at least an hour and a half or more time aside to enjoy this Cuban offering which can be beautifully paired with anything from strong coffee to a fine rum. 

Introduced at the 2013 Habanos Festival, this new Montecristo will satisfy those who are looking for a sweet, medium bodied cigar in a slightly larger format.  The Robusto, with it's 50 ring gauge has been one of the world's most beloved cigars and many smokers look at this particular ring gauge as their daily preference,  but add 1.13 inches to the standard 5 inch length and some smokers will see an additional 15 minutes of smoking time.  More IS better in this case. 

This Dobles, ( factory name ) starts off being mild to medium in strength as it reveals an earthy sweet taste combined with some hints of cedar.  Strength builds slowly in this cigar and finishes in the medium strength category making it an enjoyable smoking experience for those looking for a subtle but extremely smooth flavour evolution without being overpowered.  Montecristo has also introduced an embossed gold fleur-de-lis in the design of the new band on this cigar, a welcome change in an attractive design alteration.

This cigar released in 2004, was the first change in the Montecristo lineup in 30 years.  Named after Alexander Dumas' character Edmundo Dante and with a 52 ring gauge and a length of 5.3 inches, this hefty cigar has earned a reputation for being one of the most consistent and complex in the Montecristo line.

Expect chocolate and leather balanced nicely with woods in the flavour profile in this medium strength cigar.   You can also easily expect great things to happen when you age this cigar.

With a 38 ring gauge and a length of 7.5 inches, this could very well be one of the most complex and balanced cigars in the Montecristo line.  Ask anyone who has smoked this laguito No 1, factory name, and they'll immediately mention it's complexity.

What awaits you in this cigar's flavour profile is no shortage of bean flavours including rich chocolates, vanilla and creamy toffee.  As this elegant cigar moves into it's second third, expect more spice to appear along side cedar and strong coffee.

An elegant offering from Montecristo which contains no shortage of bean flavours including coffee, vanilla and chocolate.  Slowly builds into a more full strength cigar without any negative harshness or bitterness as it burns into the final third.  With 5.9 inches of length you can expect over an hour of smoking time with this Lancero type cigar finished with a pigtail cap.  Usually very well constructed with a darkish oily wrapper.

Get ready for two hours plus of elegant smoking time with Montecristo's Edicion Limitada for 2010.  Perfect construction, dark wrapper and a cigar that feels great to hold and enjoy.

Expect a bit of spice in the opening third but be prepared for an evolution of flavours as you start to detect sweetness creep into the picture as the cigar slowly burns.  Cedar appears, as does sweet chocolate spiced with honey that leaves a long finish on the palate.  As we approach 2013, the Grand Edmundo will be in it's prime and ready to dazzle with rich boldness.

This little cigar from Montecristo has more to offer than initially meets the eye.  Upon first glance you may think that this is a machine made cigar but this small panetela, released in 1969,  is handmade and can offer a glimpse into the Montecristo taste.  This almost cigarette shaped cigar begins with creamy notes and subtle sweetness but ends with more spice and cedar.  Although not as complex as a larger Montecristo, this small cigar will do nicely when you have only a few minutes to spare for a quick smoke.

New to the Montecristo line in 2015, this 44 ring gauge and only 3.5 inches long half corona will easily win over lovers of the Upmann offering of the same dimensions.  The reddish brown wrapper leaf contributes rich and powerful Montecristo flavors which include rich woods and strong coffee notes.  This handmade intense little cigar is constructed with long leaf filler, selected from the Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba and will deliver everything you can expect from a Montecristo, easily one of the most loved and popular Cuban Brands.  Make no mistake, this small Montecristo will definitely evolve in flavor as it burns, what will start out as a sweet and full flavored cigar will become powerful and satisfying for seasoned smokers before it is put to rest in your ashtray. 

One of the favorites of the Montecristo brand lovers. The Montecristo 1 is a perfectly balanced 'Lonsdale' sized Cuban cigar. The flavor is mild with consistent touches of sweet delicious cocoa.

The flag ship cigar for the most popular brand Cuba has to offer, the Montecristo No. 2 is the gold standard for the Piramides size. One of the top selling habanos in the world, the No. 2 solidified it's legendary status by being voted cigar of the year in 2013.

While a great cigar when smoked young, the Montecristo No. 2 shows its true colours after a couple years in the humidor. Wood, and leather along with hints of spice and cream can be tasted throughout this medium bodied cigar.

Montecristo has knocked it out of the park with this 52 ring gauge-6.1 inch long Pyramid.  Take the finest tobacco from the Vuelta Abajo region and age the leaves for at least 5 years, then roll these cigars with care and you'll get easily the best that Cuba can deliver.  With perfect construction, deep brown wrapper leaves and packaged in it's own airtight shrink wrapped box, you may consider saving these torpedoes for very special occasions.  Billowing smoke with notes of oak and cedar are the introductory flavors but this cigar will impress you with it's complex evolution.  Intense strength which is present in other Montecristo's is not what you should expect.  Instead this is a solid medium strength cigar, very smooth and extremely satisfying. 

At 5.5 inches and a 42 ring gauge, this Montecristo in the Corona vitola is a bit more mild than the No 4.  This sweet woody cigar delivers coffee and leather notes throughout but don't be surprised if you will be able to detect leather and dark chocolate at the halfway point.  This is truly an enjoyable Corona when fresh but improves greatly with every month it spends in your humidor.  Take your time and try to find very subtle bean flavors present as this cigar burns, a medium bodied cigar such as this is not an In-Your-Face smoking experience, but a more sophisticated encounter.  

One of the top selling Cuban cigars of all time. The Montecristo No. 4 fully embodies what the Montecristo Cuban cigar brand represents and than some.

The taste is similar to the Montecristo No. 2 so you know you are getting one of the best Cuban cigars in the world. Medium bodied with notes of cinnamon and cedar, this is a favorite amongst cigar aficionados.

This little Perla from Montecristo warms it's way into the hearts of many cigar smokers who prefer the Montecristo line.  It is a wonderful example of a small spicy cigar that can be enjoyed after lunch with coffee.  A great half hour of smoking time with a long woody finish on the pallate and as with many Montecristos you'll find the advantage of aging this great handmade Cuban cigar, in this case the longer in the humidor the better.  Expect excellent construction and a perfect draw for a cigar this small.  

One of the wisest decisions ever made in the Cuban cigar industry was launch this line of "Sports Theme" cigars aimed at smokers who want an idea of Cuban flavour without getting bowled over by powerful flavours.

The Montecristo Eagle is the largest in the new series and delivers a mild to medium strength smoke with all of the expected Montecristo flavours but just not as potent.  A perfect idea for seasoned smokers who want a milder large ring gauge cigar in the morning or on the golf course.  A great cigar to smoke when young, but will also age nicely.

The smallest in the Open Series but a small cigar filled with nutty sweetness and cedar to introduce new smokers to the world of Montecristo.  Very mild beginning but finally settles in and satisfies anyone who is looking for a 40 minute cigar which is reasonably priced.  Good construction, easy draw and enchanting mild Montecristo flavour profile.

Slightly smaller ring gauge than the "Open Eagle" but with a bit of spice and bean flavours that swirl over your palate during the first half of this recent addition to the Montecristo family.

The Open Master with it's Robustos shape will please anyone who has a love for this size cigar.  Although dedicated to newer smokers, this has a bit more to offer than some of the other new Open Series entries.  Expect creamy sweetness to appear halfway through and then the cedar notes arrive, which is quite characteristic of the Flavour path Montecristos are known for.

A favorite with smokers trying out the Montecristo "Sports Themed cigars" launched in 2009.

Medium strength but filled with notes of dried fruit and chocolate which any cigar smoker would appreciate regardless of how long they've been enjoying cigars.  This cigar hits the mark and crosses over to aficionados looking for a medium strength smoke for any time of the day.  A great evening cigar after a light meal and a great introduction to the flavours of Montecristo.

The old adage, "great things come in small packages" certainly rings true with the Montecristo Petit Edmundo. The younger brother of the extremley popular Montecristo Edmundo, this cigars packs a lot of flavour in just over 4 inches. A cornucopia for the palette, this cigar evolves from semi-bitter dark chocolate to a pleasant spice.

This 2013 release of Montecristo's Petit No. 2 did not disappoint anyone who was expecting the same smoking experience they got from the bigger brother from Montecristo, the Monte 2.  The Petit Pyramid feels great in the hand, fills the room with beautiful aromatic Cuban tobacco smoke and delivers hints of dark wood, toasted nuts and chocolate without any bitterness.  First third will reveal woods with a floral finish, expect coffee with cream and a spicy nutmeg in the middle third and finally ending in the final third with cedar and pepper being predominate.  Subtle sweetness can be found throughout this smoking experience which makes it a perfect pairing with a powerful single malt whiskey.  

Montecristo Petit Tubos cigars contain the same Montecristo blend as the top selling Cuban cigar of all time the Montecristo No 4. Montecristo Petit Tubos cigar comes in a tube hence the name 'Tubo'.
