Tabacos Mata Fina Monte Pascoal

The initial draws of the Monte Pascoal offer creamy earthy and coffee notes. In the second third, it becomes noticeably sweeter and gains caramel nuances. The last third surprises with notes of cedar, grass, and white pepper. Fortunately, one could almost say, otherwise the sweetness might have become overpowering for some. Our conclusion: a fantastic addition to our assortment - smooth, sweet, and very enjoyable. We are convinced that this import from Brazil will appeal to local aficionados!

Handmade cigars from Brazil are still relatively unknown to us. A few brands like (the now discontinued) Dannemann Artist Line, Alonso Menendez, and Regalia Fina have been present in Germany for a long time but continue to lead a somewhat overshadowed existence compared to the four major origins (Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Cuba).

Origin and history:

Monte Pascoal is a market leader in handmade puros in Brazil but was absent in Germany for a long time. We wanted to change that and sat down with the responsible people from Tabacos Mata Fina at the IPCPR in Las Vegas in the summer of 2013. Following that, we placed our first order and began the market introduction with two formats: Robusto and Minuto. With the second order, we significantly expanded the range and were able to lower the prices for the Robusto and Minuto!

Since September 2015, Pasionpuro from Düsseldorf has taken over the distribution of these cigars. This was accompanied by an initial revision of the design of the bands and boxes. In the autumn of 2019, a complete relaunch of the brand took place, including the redesign of the boxes, bands, and blend. The cigars introduced at that time bear the name Selection 2015 to indicate that tobaccos from that vintage were used. The "new" blends can be clearly recognized and distinguished by the significantly redder bands and the red lacquered boxes.
