MONTECRISTO 80 ANIVERSARIO

Montecristo 80 Aniversario is a special and uncommon Cuban cigar hand-rolled by Habanos S.A. as a commemoration for the 80th anniversary of the Montecristo, a globally renowned cigar icon. Released in 2015 as an anniversary release, this cigar is a mirror of tradition, quality, and strength, rolled in a distinctive vitola exclusively for this release.

Measuring 165mm (6.5 inches) in length with a whopping 55 ring gauge, the Montecristo 80 Aniversario is a long cigar that delivers a full-blooded, multifaceted smoke experience. It utilizes a very carefully handpicked blend of finest tobaccos from Cuba’s well-known Vuelta Abajo region, delivering a distinctive full-bodied smoke flavor profile that suits aficionados searching for strength, richness, and depth in their smoke.

The complex flavor is initiated by rich earthy undertones, coffee roast, and leather that shift to dark chocolate, old wood, and pepper spice as the cigar smolders on. The build is unexcelled—crafted in Cuba’s best factories, this cigar yields silky draw, even burn, and a luxurious 90–120-minute smoke. Its robust ring gauge creates cooler smoke, which tempers the strength of the blend with finesse.

Two gold-plated rings, the signature Montecristo logo and a special commemorative second ring for the 80th anniversary, dress every cigar. The cigars come in an elegant, limited edition beveled edge, Cuban wood lacquered box of 20 with carmelite lacquer finish. Just 30,000 boxes were made worldwide, and hence this is very sought after by collectors.

This launch not only celebrates Montecristo’s illustrious heritage—inspired by the iconic novel, Alexandre Dumas’ The Count of Monte Cristo—but also marks the brand’s sustained commitment to uncompromising craftsmanship and full-bodied, ageless flavor.
