Montecristo 520 Cigar (2012 Limited Edition) – Box of 10

The Montecristo 520 Cigar (2012 Limited Edition) measures 5 ¾ inches in length with a 55-ring gauge. Released in 2012, it commemorates the 520th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the Americas. The cigar utilizes aged Cuban tobacco and features a dark, oily Maduro wrapper with minimal vein visibility.

Handcrafted with Cuban long-fillers, the Montecristo 520 delivers medium strength and balanced flavors. Initial notes of cocoa, espresso, and cedar transition to leather, roasted nuts, and subtle spice. Secondary layers reveal earthy tones, sweet molasses, and dark chocolate, followed by pepper, oak, and creamy caramel in the final third.

The cigar’s construction ensures consistent combustion and an even burn. Designed as a Limited Edition release, the Montecristo 520 was produced in restricted quantities, emphasizing its rarity among Cuban cigar offerings. Its dimensions and flavor complexity reflect the brand’s historical focus on substantial vitolas.
