Montecristo handed the blending to AJ Fernandez, and the results have been consistently good. This is the Nicaraguan expression — a real departure from the Dominican house style, and much bolder for it.
Fuller and spicier than anything else wearing the Montecristo band, with pepper, cocoa and a dense, earthy core. Four sizes, including a No. 2 torpedo and a seven by fifty-six Churchill.
Wrapper: Nicaraguan
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan long-filler
Strength: Medium to full
Sizes: Robusto (5.0" x 54), Toro (6.0" x 54), No. 2 (6.1" x 52), Churchill (7.0" x 56)
Worth trying even if — especially if — you think you know what Montecristo tastes like.
