Montecristo No.2

The iconic torpedo-shaped cigar is a staple among Cuban cigars, cherished by aficionados worldwide for its exceptional flavor profile. Initially produced exclusively at the H. Upmann factory in Old Havana, the cigar's surging popularity led Habanos to expand production to other prominent factories in the city. Today, approximately 3 million units are crafted annually, with the new H. Upmann factory in Nueva Vedado overseeing production, utilizing the island's most skilled rollers. CIGAR AFICIONADO editors have consistently praised this cigar, featuring it as a standout in a 1992 article on Cuba's finest cigars and maintaining a high ranking in subsequent tastings. Measuring 6 1/8 inches by 52 ring gauge, this cigar is renowned for its rich flavor and smooth draw. It boasts a full-bodied character, with pronounced earthy and tobacco notes, accompanied by a multitude of spicy undertones. While enjoyable now, it is expected to improve with age, as evidenced by 50-year-old examples that remain rich, cedary, and delicious. The complex flavor profile includes notes of cocoa, coffee, nuts, cream, citrus, leather, and a hint of twang, with additional nuances of chocolate, tobacco, milk chocolate, and spice. Further flavor components include cinnamon, mocha, cedar, bitter chocolate, floral, wood, earth, hay, baking spice, toast, nutmeg, grass, salt, vanilla, and sweetness, complemented by subtle hints of biscuit, almond, raisin, caramel, latte, peanut, tea, funk, honey, clove, raspberry, and Cointreau.
