Montecristo Linea 1935 Leyenda Cigar – Single

The Montecristo Linea 1935 Leyenda commemorates the brand’s inaugural year with tobacco sourced from Cuba’s Pinar del Río and Vuelta Abajo regions. This release represents the strongest blend in the Montecristo portfolio, featuring a 156 mm (6 1/8") length and 54-ring gauge. The cigar includes three bands: a primary Montecristo band, a secondary "Linea 1935" identifier, and a foot band.

Construction and Composition

Designed for full-bodied enthusiasts, the Montecristo Linea 1935 Leyenda utilizes aged filler and binder leaves from San Luis and San Juan y Martínez farms. The dark Colorado wrapper undergoes extended fermentation, contributing to the cigar’s structural integrity. Testing at Havana’s El Laguito factory confirmed combustion consistency across 30-minute intervals.

Flavor Progression

The Montecristo Linea 1935 Leyenda delivers sequential flavor notes:

• Initial third: Roasted coffee beans and black pepper
• Middle third: Cacao nibs and cedar undertones
• Final third: Walnut and mineral earthiness

Smoke output averages 45 grams per minute, with a 75-minute burn time under controlled 70% humidity conditions.

Packaging Details

Each Montecristo Linea 1935 Leyenda ships in a cedar coffin-style case with embossed gold foil detailing. The secondary band incorporates security microprinting visible under 10x magnification, a measure implemented in 2022 to combat counterfeits.
