One of the most iconic brands is celebrating its 90th anniversary. Montecristo is marking the occasion with the Montecristo 90th Anniversary, a limited-edition release that brings together history, flawless craftsmanship, and a surreal smoking experience your customers won’t want to miss out on.

Boxes arrive dressed to impress with a piano-finish presentation that recalls the elegance of the great ocean liners that once linked Cuba to the wider world. This anniversary line is already generating buzz and ready to fly off shelves. Add these to your store at wholesale when you order from Santa Clara Cigars. The Story Behind the Montecristo 90th AnniversaryMontecristo’s story stretches back to 1935, when Alonso Menendez and Pepe Garcia launched the brand in Cuba, drawing inspiration from Alexandre Dumas’ “The Count of Monte Cristo.” Over the decades, the company has become incredibly popular and well-known in the cigar world, with their reputation spanning continents and generations. When they first began their operations, their cigars were released right in the middle of Havana’s golden era. This was at a time when the city was considered one of the jewels of the Caribbean. The 90th Anniversary is designed to capture the spirit of that glamorous era where the brand first made its mark. It features two incredibly flawless cigars, one shaped after one of their original vitolas they launched back in 1935, and the other designed for today’s smoker. With this limited-edition release, the brand brings together everything it has mastered, creating two unique offerings your customers are almost certain to line up at your storefront for. Montecristo 90th Anniversary Cigar Blend and Construction Information Montecristo wanted to create something amazing for this tribute release and entrusted Rafael Nodal and the Plasencia Family. Most of the tobacco found in both Montecristo 90th Anniversary cigars were sourced from the Plasencia family’s aged reserves. Each cigar wears a Nicaraguan Jalapa wrapper hugging a Nicaraguan binder and fillers drawn from Ometepe, Esteli, Condega, and Jalapa. Your customers will experience richness and excellent construction in every draw. They can expect a layered profile of roasted coffee, spice, dark cocoa, earthiness, and a creamy smoothness to balance it all out without muting its mouthwatering richness. Each cigar is also medium-bodied in strength and delivers everything your customers will want in a wonderfully constructed cigar. Just about anything that Montecristo releases is a winner, but this anniversary release takes it to another level. Make sure they are in stock when your raving Montecristo regulars come wallet-ready for these elegant, limited time masterpieces. Cigar Sizes and Packaging This celebratory series features two cigars. The Montecristo 90th Anniversary No.2 6.12x52 is shaped like a torpedo like one of the many cigars the brand debuted back in 1935. The Montecristo 90th Anniversary Nacional 5.5x56 takes everything the brand has mastered almost a century ago and creates a cigar made for the modern smoker. The thicker ring gauge, extended burn time, and almost faultless construction are just some of the key features we’ve come to expect from Montecristo. These sophisticated and stylish cigars are packed in ultra-refined 12-count boxes designed with a gloss piano-finish. The box itself exudes a sense of old-world luxury, echoing the energy of the great ocean liners of Cuba during its golden era. Once your customers open the lid, the effect is immediate. Rows of beautiful cigars resting in a case will feel more like a keepsake than packaging. It calls back to the Havana nightlife and lively scene during the 1930s.
