MONTECRISTO – Linea 1935 Maltes

Description

The Montecristo Linea 1935 was announced at the 19th Habanos Festival. The Linea 1935 is for Montecristo what is Behike for Cohiba: an ultra-premium cigar, series with luxury packaging and especially vitolas. The Montecristo Linea 1935 is one of the top-of-the-line Havana’s “regular” production with outstanding value for money. Linea 1935 cigars are packed in elegant wooden boxes with matte, brown lacquer and rose gold inscriptions. The same color combination marks the cigar rings, and for the first time we find a third ring at the base of the cigar.

Visually, the Montecristo Linea 1935 Maltés is gorgeous with a brown, soft honey very oily wrapper. With earthy flavors throughout, oak and black pepper, creamy notes of cocoa, leather and
coffee. There are some very obvious fragrances of citrus and caramel that in the end become gentler. Light to moderate with very good draw  and excellent smoke, Maltes is a cigar well above average.

Intensity of Taste: Medium to Full

Montecristo is the best known and probably the most appreciated brand of Habanos throughout the world. It forms the benchmark for many Habanos smokers against which other brands are judged.

The name comes from the hero of Alexandre Dumas’ famous novel “The Count of Montecristo”, which was a firm favourite among the Torcedores ( Cigar Makers) at the factory in Havana where it was founded in 1935.

Montecristo’s perfectly balanced blend is created exclusively with selected leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region, home of the finest tobaccos in the world. Its distinctive medium to full flavour and distinguished aroma appeal equally to both new and experienced smokers.
