Rated No1 Cigar of the Year 2013 by Cigar Aficionado

The Montecristo No. 2 is one of the most recognised Cuban cigars and the signature torpedo of the Montecristo line. Rolled with tobacco from Cuba’s Vuelta Abajo region, it opens with cedar and roasted coffee before moving into cocoa, leather, and toasted bread. The smoke develops deeper earth and pepper as it progresses while maintaining a dense, creamy texture. The tapered head concentrates the smoke and strengthens the flavours toward the finish. It pairs naturally with espresso, dark rum, or a peaty single malt.
