Montecristo - Linea 1935 Maltes - Box of 20
Montecristo - Linea 1935 Maltes - Box of 20
A box of 20 cigars, the connoisseur's choice for laying down and ageing.
Part of Montecristo's full-flavoured Línea 1935, added in 2017. This rare size is known in Cuban factories as 'Sobresalientes', meaning 'outstanding'.
Montecristo was founded in 1935 and takes its name from Alexandre Dumas's 'The Count of Montecristo', a favourite read aloud to the rollers. The original range was numbered 1 to 5; the lighter Open Series followed in 2009 and the fuller Línea 1935 in 2017. All sizes use Vuelta Abajo filler and binder and are long filler, totally handmade. Flavour: Medium to Full (classic), Medium (Open), Full (Línea 1935).
Hunters & Frankau tasting notes
Big and bold, yet subtle and nuanced with a surprising lightness of touch.
