Montecristo is the best known and probably most appreciated brand of Habanos across the world. It forms the benchmark for many Habanos smokers, against which other brands are judged. The name comes from the hero of Alexandre Dumas’ famous novel ‘The Count of Montecristo’, which was a firm favourite when read by the Lector to the Torcedores (cigar makers) at the factory where it was founded in 1935.
