Montecristo Reserva

The Reserva Cigars by Montecristo captivate with carefully aged tobaccos, which are stored for at least three years before further processing. This extended aging process ensures a particularly deep and layered flavor profile – taking the classic Montecristo taste experience to a whole new level.

Legendary Cuban Cigars: Montecristo Reservas

The Montecristo cigar brand was founded in 1935 by Alonso Menéndez and Pepe García, quickly becoming one of the most prestigious cigar labels. Originally introduced as a new line under the brand H. Upmann, Montecristo gained immense popularity in Europe after World War II. The name was likely inspired by the novel “The Count of Monte Cristo,” a story traditionally read aloud in cigar factories. Montecristo swiftly established itself as a market leader and remains one of the best-selling brands in Cuba.

Montecristo Reserva No. 4 – Tobacco from 2002

With the Reserva No. 4 (Cosecha 2002), Montecristo pays homage to the world’s best-selling Cuban cigar, with over a billion units sold. Like all Reservas from Cuba, the No. 4 is presented in an elegant, black lacquered wooden box. A unique feature is that each box lists the harvest year of the tobaccos used. Generally, all Reserva cigars are highly sought after and possess a significantly increased collector's value.
