Montecristo is a household cigar brand for most consumers the world over. Although comparatively young to other brands, such as Partagas or Punch, Montecristo has established itself as a landmark in the landscape of fine cigars through its century of manufacturing. When Fidel Castro nationalized its home factory and related assets in the 1960’s, the manufacturers fled to the Canary Islands and established the cigar there for American markets. Since then, the brand was acquired by Altadis S.A. and is currently manufactured in the Dominican Republic at the massive Tabacalera de Garcia. Montecristo is made in a huge variety of tobacco blends, sizes, lines, and line extensions. It truly has something to offer for every type of smoker. Of these myriad brands, Luis Martinez offers the Montecristo White Series, the Montecristo Classic, the Montecristo Platinum Series, and the Montecristo Epic Vintage 12. Additionally, these cigars come in a wide range of sizes and samplers. Craving a cigarillo? Buy a tin of White Series cigarillos! Want something classic? Get a Classic Especial #1! Not sure what to pick? Get a sampler. Some of these blends are anything but run of the mill, to boot. The Epic Vintage 12 is made with a finely aged Sumatran wrapper kept in storage for over a decade! The Platinum Series bears the iconic, chocolatey Mexican San Andreas wrapper many associate with the spicy, sweet taste of Nicaraguan maduro cigars. Named after the famed novel The Count of Monte Cristo, the only thing back with a vengeance will be the cigar smoker’s puffs.

Montecristo cigars are some of the best known of the Cuban expat cigar brands. After Fidel Castro’s nationalization of many cigar brands in 1960, cigar manufacturers carried seed and band in their pockets to new locales in the Canary Islands or Jamaica. Montecristo is now made by Altadis USA in the much-lauded Tabacalera de Garcia in the Dominican Republic. They are Dominican handmade cigars with finely aged filler tobaccos.
History of Montecristo
Montecristo began with Alonso Menendez as a humble brand in 1935. Named after the favorite novel of the factory’s cigarmakers, The Count of Monte Cristo, the brand grew steadily in popularity and success until it was nationalized by Fidel Castro in 1960. Alonso Menendez and his business partners fled to the Canary Islands and later the Dominican Republic, releasing an expat brand of Montecristo cigars to the American public in the 1970’s. Today, both brands are household names for American cigar smokers.
