This month we feature two cigars from Montecristo: the Montecristo M and the 1935 Anniversary Edición Diamante.
The Montecristo M features a 20-year-old Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper with Nicaraguan fillers and binder tobacco. The draw opens with a perfect balance of ceder and chocolate, and as the stick burns down the flavors attenuate to a creamy, earthy vanilla. Expertly crafted, the Montecristo M box can double as an elegant humidor.
The Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Diamante is a Nicaraguan puro that uses a low-priming hybrid wrapper grown in Jalapa, a criollo-seed binder from Ometepe and fillers from Estelí. It has a full profile driven by coffee and black pepper that pairs well with a deep red wine, like a cabernet or malbec, or with a smokey bourbon.
