All three formats are made as long fillers using the traditional "totalmente a mano" method. Their blend consists of a selection of the finest tobaccos from the best plantations in the Vuelta Abajo (Pinar del Rio) region. It was put together by the most experienced "Maestros Ligadores" (the people responsible for the tobacco blends) in the Cuban cigar industry.

The design of the boxes is particularly complex. They are matt lacquered in a warm shade of brown, on which the logo and the name of the brand stand out in a shade of reddish gold. For the first time in the history of Habanos, these cigars received not only a second, but also a third ring, which is attached to the base of the cigar. It features the Fleur-de-Lys, which has distinguished the traditional “Montecristo” brand from all other brands from the very beginning.
