Released in 2012 as a Limited Edition, the Montecristo 520 commemorates the 520th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the Americas. The blend uses aged Cuban long-filler tobacco within a dark, oily maduro wrapper. Its 6-inch format provides extended smoking time to showcase layered flavor development.

Initial notes of cocoa and cedar transition to roasted nuts and subtle spice. The final third reveals pepper and oak tones balanced by caramel undertones. Flavor progression spans earthy tones, molasses sweetness, and dark chocolate throughout the smoking session.

The 2012 Limited Edition demonstrates Havana’s construction standards with even combustion and smoke output. This release follows the discontinued 2008 Montecristo Sublimes, maintaining the brand’s tradition of specialized vitolas for collectors.
