Brand: Montesino

Montesino

Sharing a name with one of the first missionaries to the Dominican Republic, Antonio de Montesino, Montesino was one of the first cigar brands Carlos Fuente, Sr. manufactured in the Dominican Republic in the 1980’s. These cigars were powerhouses in the 1990’s, sustaining the company through the sobering aftermath of the cigar boom. As such, the cigar now ranks among the oldest names in the Fuente portfolio. After all this time, the cigar maintains renown for its remarkable flavor and value. Montesino cigars come in boxes of twenty-five as short filler and long filler tobaccos. These cigars are smooth to medium bodied with a consistent balance. Even the maduro wrapper cigars, typically bearing a greater strength and potency, are smooth and enjoyable—the ideal after-dinner cigar. Many older cigar smokers remember the iconic Fuente advertisements with Cynthia Fuente holding a Montesino cigar. Just like Cynthia, Montesino is a timeless classic. Indeed, Cynthia continues to celebrate every Monday with a Montesino cigar. This cigar is a remembrance of her family and specifically her father. This cigar is the kiss shared between Tampa and the Dominican Republic. Incorporating finely aged Connecticut Shade or Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper and Dominican filler tobaccos, these cigars are the classic flavors and shapes of Tampa cigars in the new packaging of the Dominican Republic. Buying this cigar keeps a beautiful, nostalgic cigar brand on shelves around the United States. Furthermore, this cigar is a throwback to one of the greatest times in cigar manufacturing history. It conjures forth the camaraderie of smoking and tobacco.
