Timeless elegance
Within the venerable Cuban cigar tradition, the Montecristo A stands out as a masterpiece dedicated to moments of meditation and prolonged pleasure. Introduced in 1971, this gigantic module, known as the Gigante, stands out among connoisseurs.
Distinguished dimensions and aesthetics
With a length of 235 mm and a diameter of 18.65 mm, its slender silhouette immediately catches the eye. The cap is a uniform brownish color, smooth to the touch, a promise of refined construction.
A balanced alliance of flavors
Tasting begins with notes of earth and undergrowth, reflecting the richness of the Cuban soil in which it was born. As the tasting progresses, Montecristo A reveals creamy bouffées with hints of cocoa, without ever losing its elegant balance.
An assertive but controlled character
Classed as a medium-bodied cigar, this opus avoids the pitfall of raw intensity in favor of a controlled build-up of power that asserts itself fully as it burns slowly.
A tasting ritual
Allow 120 to 150 minutes for tasting to fully appreciate Montecristo A. Smoking should be done slowly to maintain the ideal temperature and allow each draw to reveal the subtlety of its aromatic bouquet.
Creation process and origin of tobacco
The manufacturing process respects the traditional Cuban method, with meticulous leaf sorting and fermentation to allow the aromas to develop to the full. The tobaccos, sourced from the prestigious Vuelta Abajo region, are renowned for their superior quality.
