Montecristo Linea 1935 Maltes

Montecristo Línea 1935 Maltes is an excellent representation of Cuban cigar craftsmanship, handcrafted in honor of the establishment in 1935 of the Montecristo brand. This one of the ultra-premium offerings in the Línea 1935, this vitola delivers a full-bodied, refined smoking experience that contributes complexity, body, and richness to the legacy of Montecristo.

The Maltes vitola is a well-made Sobresalientes with a length of 153mm (6 inches) and a ring gauge of 53. Its semi-box-pressing makes it contemporary in appearance without sacrificing traditional sophistication. Like all the Línea 1935 cigars, it is crafted entirely by hand at El Laguito from only the very finest tobaccos available from Cuba’s renowned Vuelta Abajo area, carefully aged and blended for power and balance.

This cigar has a medium-to-full-bodied flavor profile with incredible complexity. The first third is toasted almond, cedar, and leather, later surrendering to deeper, richer layers of dark chocolate, espresso, and spice that settle on the palate. The draw is silky smooth and full in each pull, with an impeccable even burn and heavy ash—a testament to its world-class construction.

They are available in beautiful 20-count lacquered boxes, and they wear double bands: a classic gold Montecristo logo, and the Línea 1935 signature band. The wrapper itself is oily, dark, and handsome, hinting at the meticulous fermentation and aging protocol that characterizes this series.

With its smoke time of about 75–90 minutes, the Maltes is ideal for celebratory or reflective periods. It goes excellently with a rich old rum, cognac, or strong espresso.

For one looking for a classy Cuban cigar that combines tradition with sophisticated craftsmanship in terms of Montecristo flavor, the Montecristo Línea 1935 Maltes is a great option—full-bodied, refined, and well-balanced.
