Alonso Menendez

Alonso Menendez is internationally recognized as the founder of the Cuban Montecristo and H. Upmann brand. The son of Alonso, Felix Menendez, built then after emigrating from Cuba in the 1960s to Brazil, the Menendez Amerino tobacco plantation near Salvador.
Brazilian cigars are clearly undervalued in our opinion. The tobaccos from Bahia are not as strong as the cuban leaves, but nevertheless boast a complexity and a volume which makes them very attractive. The taste is always tasty, many aficionados are very enthusiastic about these great value cigars from Brazil. The Menendez cigars convince many with their pleasant hearty and earthy tones.
The almost black wrapper comes from the best growing region of Brazil, the Mata Fina, the other tobaccos used for the binder and the filler are from other regions of the country. Thus, the Menendez is a Brazilian puro, to 100% of a single country.
