Montecristo, a name synonymous with luxury, represents a quarter of all Cuban cigar sales,  making it an undeniable titan in the cigar realm. Founded in 1935, the Montecristo No. 4 stands out as the world’s best-selling Cuban cigar.

Its origins trace back to Havana’s cigar factories where lectors read aloud to the torcedores (cigar rollers). It was Alexandre Dumas’ riveting tale, “The Count of Montecristo”, that captivated them and inspired the brand’s iconic name. Montecristo’s growth led to its acquisition of the esteemed H. Upmann factory and its strong ties to the UK market, thanks to collaborations with prominent distributors.

The brand has continually adapted to aficionados’ preferences, releasing a range of cigars, from the classic medium-to-full strength Montecristo line to the lighter ‘Open’ line, designed for outdoor enthusiasts. And for those seeking intensity, the Linea 1935 series delivers a robust experience.

While Montecristo’s roots run deep, it’s their commitment to quality and innovation that ensures they remain at the forefront of the cigar industry. Dive into our collection and experience the Montecristo legacy.
