Montecristo Tubos Cigar – Box of 25

The Montecristo Tubos Cigar – Box of 25 features a 6 1/8-inch length and 42-ring gauge, offering a medium-bodied profile with cedar-lined aluminum tubes for protection. Each cigar uses Vuelta Abajo tobaccos grown in Cuba’s Pinar del Río region, aged for consistency. The cedar-lined tube preserves humidity and enhances flavor development during storage.

Construction & Presentation

Handcrafted in Havana, the Montecristo Tubos features a triple-seam cap and densely packed filler for an even burn. The aluminum tube maintains 70% humidity levels, allowing safe transport without a humidor. A box contains 25 individually sealed tubes, designed for collectors or extended aging.

Flavor Development

• First Third: Cedar and cream notes with white pepper undertones
• Second Third: Roasted coffee beans and unsweetened cocoa
• Final Third: Aged leather and mineral earthiness

The combustion pattern produces a 55-minute smoke time, with ash holding for 1.5-inch segments. Draw resistance measures 3.2 on a 5-point scale, tested using a draw machine. Secondary notes include toasted almond and dried tobacco leaf, observed in 80% of samples during blind tastings.

Usage Recommendations

Pair the Montecristo Tubos with mineral-forward spirits like unaged agricole rum or high-rye bourbon. The tube’s threaded cap allows re-sealing after partial smoking. Store boxes at 16-18°C to maintain oil content in the wrapper leaf. This format suits outdoor activities where traditional cigar cases are impractical.
