The essence of Montecristo: No. 3
Introduced in the emblematic Montecristo range, the Montecristo No. 3 embodies a heritage of quality and expertise. Originating from the fertile soil of the Vuelta Abajo, this Corona is palpable proof of Cuban expertise in the mastery of tobacco. Its elaboration is inspired by the traditional techniques for which the region's cigars are renowned.
Designing a classic
With its carefully chosen dimensions - 142 mm long and 16.67 mm in diameter - the Montecristo No. 3 offers a comfortable grip, asserting its presence without excess. Its carefully selected casing features a rich texture and a warm brown color, asserting its character at first glance.
A refined blend of flavours
Over the recommended 45 to 60 minutes of tasting, this cigar develops a panoply of aromas consistent with its renowned varietal. Woody notes intermingle with the richness of hazelnut, enhanced by spicy touches and completed by subtle accords of coffee and vanilla. A true invocation of the senses, it seduces with its balance and depth of flavor.
Controlled intensity
Classified as medium-power, the Montecristo No. 3 is a judicious choice for a mid-day tasting or an introduction to intense flavors for those new to the art. But it's not forsaking the palate of seasoned connoisseurs, who will find in it the assurance of a prestigious brand.
Suggested accompaniment
This cigar is also distinguished by its ability to pair with distinctive spirits. We recommend pairing it with a full-bodied rum or an aged cognac, to enhance the aromas and prolong the pleasure of the senses. Nevertheless, its complexity also allows it to be appreciated in its individuality.
A meditative experience
The ritual of tasting it echoes a need to take time out, to relax from the hectic pace of modern life. Thus, the Montecristo No. 3 has a natural place in the hands of those who, in a moment of escape, are looking for impeccable quality and a fulfilling experience.
