Montecristo Especial No.2 Cigar – Single

The pyramid shape (155mm length, 52-ring gauge) promotes gradual combustion, revealing layers of cedar, roasted coffee, and dark chocolate.

Flavor Development

Initial notes of creamy cedar transition to roasted coffee and earthy tones, balanced by the wrapper’s sweetness. The tapered design intensifies spice elements toward the final third, maintaining structural integrity throughout the 90-minute smoking duration.

Pairing Recommendations

• Pacific Island cuisine with sweet-sour sauces
• New World white wines (floral/fruit-forward profiles)
• Aged rum or single-malt whiskey

Both the single Montecristo Especial No.2 and the 25-count box benefit from humidor aging, with oils maturing over 3-7 years. The triple-seam cap ensures minimal wrapper damage during clipping, while the open foot facilitates even ignition.
