The Montecristo No.2 Cigar earned a score of 96/100 in a Cigar Aficionado blind taste test, the highest ever recorded. This Cuban-made torpedo features a 52-ring gauge and 6 ⅛-inch (156 mm) length, crafted with Vuelta Abajo tobacco. Its flavor profile combines cedar, roasted coffee, and earthy tones, transitioning to cocoa, leather, and spice.
The Montecristo No.2 uses a pyramides shape for optimal airflow, with medium-to-full strength derived from aged filler and binder leaves. The blend includes:
- Wood and spice notes
- Bitter coffee bean undertones
- Creamy texture
Boxes contain 10 cigars with triple-secured caps for consistent combustion. The wrapper leaf undergoes 18-24 months of fermentation, contributing to the cigar’s balanced draw and slow burn rate. Production occurs at Habanos S.A.’s El Laguito factory in Havana.
