Montecristo
Montecristo was founded as recently as 1935
by the owners of the H.Upmann factory. Using a specially graded
"ligero" leaf in the filler and a slightly oily wrapper,
they created a nuance of flavour which has delighted the palates
of cigar smokers such as Alfred Hitchcock, Lord Grade and Tom
Jones. The most popular Havana in Britain – which is rewarded
by the UK receiving supplies of the highest quality
