The Montecristo Especial No.2 cigar features a pigtail cap and uses Cuban-grown Vuelta Abajo tobacco. Measuring 155mm in length with a 52-ring gauge, this pyramid-shaped cigar presents flavors of cedar, Asian spices, and aged wood. Its combustion characteristics include an even burn and consistent smoke output. The blend's sweetness balances earthy undertones detectable in the final third.
Montecristo Especial No.2 Cigar – Box of 25
The Montecristo Especial No.2 box contains 25 hand-rolled cigars using tripa, capote, and capa leaves from Vuelta Abajo farms. The 155mm x 52RG vitola reveals sequential flavor transitions: initial creaminess gives way to roasted coffee beans, followed by dark cocoa notes in the second half. Construction maintains draft ease across multiple storage years.
Both Montecristo Especial No.2 formats pair with acidic beverages like citrus-forward cocktails or oaked Chardonnay. The cigars' fermentation potential allows gradual flavor development when stored between 65-68% humidity. The boxed version includes cedar dividers for compartmentalized aging. Smokers report 85-100 minute combustion times depending on environmental conditions.
Wrapper elasticity in the Montecristo Especial No.2 prevents cracking during international shipping. Habanos S.A. quality control ensures uniform leaf coloration across production batches. The pyramid head cut exposes a 4.5mm draw channel, requiring V-cut tools for optimal airflow management.
