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

The Montecristo 520 Cigar (2012 Limited Edition) measures 5 ¾” in length with a 55 ring gauge. Its Maduro wrapper lacks visible veins, contributing to an even burn. The blend combines medium strength with sweet flavor dominance and consistent airflow.

Historical Context

This box of 10 cigars commemorates the 520th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ 1492 voyage linked to tobacco’s discovery. The 6-inch format uses aged Cuban long-filler tobacco, rolled under strict quality standards for limited production.

Flavor Development

The Montecristo 520 Cigar progresses through distinct phases:

• Initial profile: Cocoa, espresso, cedar wood
• Mid-section: Leather, roasted almond, faint spice
• Final third: Black pepper, oak tannins, caramelized sugar

Earthiness and molasses sweetness persist across all stages, with dark chocolate undertones from the Maduro wrapper.

Construction Details

A closed foot design ensures gradual ignition, while the triple-cap finish maintains structural integrity. The oily wrapper leaf promotes slow combustion, extending smoking time beyond 90 minutes.
