Montecristo Edmundo Reserva Cosecha 2018 Cigar – Box of 20

The Montecristo Edmundo Reserva Cosecha 2018 launched in early 2024 through Habanos S.A., featuring tobacco leaves exclusively from the 2018 harvest. This limited edition maintains the Edmundo line's 135mm x 52 ring gauge dimensions, using aged wrapper and filler tobaccos matured for over three years before rolling.

Production Rarity and Packaging

Only 5,000 numbered boxes of 20 cigars were produced. Each box carries individual serialization in the Habanos Reserva series format, with gold-embossed branding and a deep lacquered finish. The packaging includes a warranty seal certifying the 2018 harvest date and Reserva classification.

Tobacco Composition and Flavor Profile

The blend combines:

• Tripa Larga filler leaves from Vuelta Abajo's San Juan y Martínez zone
• Semilla 2000 hybrid wrapper leaf
• Double cap finishing from Seco-grade binders

Cold draws reveal cedar and mineral notes, transitioning to flavors of roasted coffee beans and cured leather during combustion, with a dry finish characteristic of aged San Luis leaf tobacco.

Aging Potential and Construction

Habanos recommends cellaring the Montecristo Edmundo Reserva Cosecha 2018 for 5-8 years post-release. The cigars feature triple-seam construction with 72% relative humidity conditioning prior to boxing. Draw resistance tests conducted through Habanos' pneumatic quality control system ensure consistent airflow.
