Montecristo Supremos 2019 Limited Edition
Montecristo Limited Edition cigars have historically been a huge success within the cigar community. The most recent one prior to the Supremos was the slender and rich Dantes from 2016. It was in my opinion one of the best cigars released in recent years. At the 2018 Habanos Festival, cigar lovers from around the world got their first peak at the 2019 Supremos edition.
What stood out from all the Limited Editions we saw at the festival, was the more elaborate packaging that the cigars were housed in. The Montecristo Supremos cigars come in a 25 count, matte yellow curved etched box. It is quite attractive, however, if it adds to the retail price, I think we can all agree that we’d rather have a perfectly fine regular box. After all, how many of those empty boxes can we possibly keep?
ABOUT THE CIGAR – MONTECRISTO :: Supremos 2019 Limited Edition
The Supremos is the fourth cigar from the Montecristo portfolio that bears the heavy 55 ring gauge. The others, in order of release were; Maravillas No. 1 from the 2005 Colleccion Habanos book, the very popular 2012 Limited Edition “520”, the 80th Anniversario, and most recently the Leyanda from the 1935 Linea.
The factory size is called “Montesco”. About a dozen cigars are this size, notably the best-selling Romeo Y Julieta Wide Churchills, and the Hoyo De Monterrey 2013 Grand Epicure Limited Edition.
