Montecristo Platinum

When this Cuban brand was launched in 1935, the world of Premium Cigars changed forever. Their #2 Torpedo became the world’s biggest selling cigar. I’ve had a few of them over the years and can honestly say they were ok. But that’s just me.

Altadis acquired this iconic name decades ago and began producing many sizes and styles available to all of us. For the record, this 94 rated edition beat out most of its Cuban competitors at the time. This four country blended stick is noticeably stronger than the Original series with more of a Cuban styled spicy taste that’s not overpowering. Like its counterparts, this edition is perfectly made with a great draw. This medium-full bodied beauty increases in intensity as you move along.
