Montecristo No.4 Cigar – Box of 10

The Montecristo No.4 Cigar uses the Petit Corona format with a 42-ring gauge and 5 1/8-inch (129 mm) length. This Cuban cigar contains hand-rolled filler and binder tobaccos grown in the Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba, aged for consistency. The boxed presentation includes 10 cigars sealed in factory packaging.

Construction and Smoking Performance

Each Montecristo No.4 features a Colorado Maduro wrapper with visible seams and minimal veins. The draw requires 2-3 priming cuts for optimal airflow, producing dense smoke output. Combustion maintains a 45-55 minute duration with a 1mm/hour burn rate, requiring 1-2 relights for full consumption.

Flavor Development

The Montecristo No.4 begins with dry cedar and mineral earth notes, transitioning to roasted coffee at the 15mm ash point. Secondary flavors of cured leather emerge at the halfway mark, followed by unsweetened cocoa powder in the final third. Retrohales reveal trace black pepper without nicotine harshness.
