In 1935, Alonso Menéndez had the ambitious goal of setting a new standard in the Cuban cigar world with the Montecristo Habanos brand. Only the best tobaccos were used for Montecristo and the equipment of the boxes and lower thirds was of the highest standard. In a very short time, Montecristo became a bestseller and is now considered the most well-known and popular Habanos brand in the world. Three quarters of a century later, the Montecristo Open sets new standards again! Habanos S.A. has therefore created a second line in four formats. The tobacco blend is extraordinarily delicate for a Cuban cigar, its style is refreshing and light.
Montecristo Open is particularly suitable for beginners in the world of Habanos or lovers of milder premium cigars from the Caribbean. But Montecristo Open also expands the spectrum of possibilities for Habanos lovers. Be it as a cigar for the early hours of the day or as a particularly combinable companion for elegant wines and spirits. Four contemporary formats were created for the Montecristo Open line, which appeal to modern cigar lovers. They are easy to smoke and have excellent draw behavior. The origin of the tobacco corresponds to the claim and tradition of the brand: all leaves come from the plantations of the Vuelta Abajo region, where one of the best tobaccos in the world is grown. In keeping with the centuries-old Cuban tradition, the four formats are manufactured in the H.Upmann manufactory using the totalmente a mano tripa larga method as long fillers that are rolled entirely by hand.
