Montecristo Puritos (25)

Visit Montecristo Puritos remains true to the brand, retaining the typical characteristics of the factory's cigars: tobaccos sourced exclusively from the Vuelta Abajo region, with an expressive, consistent aroma when tasted.

This Mini Panatela, with a length of 115 mm and a diameter of 10.7 mm, retains a taste intensity that will last for some twenty minutes. The Montecristo Puritos reveals woody, spicy notes reminiscent of the more generous modules from the prestigious triangle brand. This Puritos will be just as convincing to an experienced smoker as to a novice.

This cigar is available in cartridge (10×5) and box of 25 cigars.

In 1913, Benjamin Menéndez Garcia took control of the Parra cigar factory, where he had been working for some time. After renaming it Menéndez y Cia. In 1923, he surrounded himself with members of his family and a talented cigar maker, "Pepe" Garcia. All the elements were now in place for the Montecristo adventure to begin.

However, it wasn't until 1935 and the takeover of the Particulares factory that Montecristo was born. The brand was built on simple elements, a luxurious but sober presentation and impeccable craftsmanship. Success followed, and in 1937, Alonzo Menéndez bought the H. Upmann factory and transferred all production there. Such was Montecristo's reputation that in 1955 the Bishop of Havana came to bless the factory.

It was also with Montecristo that Alfred Dunhill created its famous Montecristo Dunhill Seleccion Suprema line. Montecristo remains one of the most widely distributed Cuban brands in the world.
