Montecristo 1935 Maltés / Box of 20

£1,250.00

Maltes This rare size is known as a ‘Sobresalientes’ within the factories of Cuba, a word which translates as ‘outstanding’ in English, and it’s easy to see why. Big and bold, but also subtle and nuanced with a lightness of touch that surprises many smokers the first time they light one up. Aroma from the wrapper is a combination of aged oak, earth, leather, manure, popcorn and vanilla sweetness, while the cold draw brings notes of strong hay, leather, ground coffee, orange citrus and slight black pepper.

Montecristo is the best known and, perhaps, the most appreciated Habanos brand and is considered by many to be the benchmark for Habanos flavour. Its name had its origins in the novel The Count of Montecristo, by Alexandre Dumas, enormously popular with cigar rollers at the H. Upmann factory in Havana, where the cigars were first rolled in 1935. Maltés refers to one of the main character’s nickname in the book, Visually, the Montecristo Linea 1935 Maltés is gorgeous with a honey brown wrapper that features just a bit of tooth as well as some very noticeable oil. There are veins running up and down the length of the cigar and I also notice a large soft spot about a quarter inch from the secondary band. Aroma from the wrapper is a combination of aged oak, earth, leather, manure, popcorn and vanilla sweetness, while the cold draw brings notes of strong hay, leather, ground coffee, orange citrus and slight black pepper.
