Montecristo Wide Edmundo

The extremely popular "Edmundo" line of the Montecristo Habanos brand, founded in 1935, is being strengthened. With the Wide Edmundo, Habanos is now introducing its fourth format. The production name of the newly developed vitola is Duke No.3. It has a length of 125 mm and a ring gauge of 54, making it the format with the largest diameter in the Edmundo line. The characteristic tobacco blend therefore unfolds particularly harmoniously. The strength develops from medium to medium-strong to strong over the course of around an hour of smoking the cigar.

The best tobacco from Pinar del Rio

The Montecristo Wide Edmundo is made entirely by hand as a long filler. It consists of a selection of tobacco leaves from the Vuelta Abajo, in the Pinar del Rio region. The cigars are sold in the unglued boxes of 10 and 25 cigars that are typical of the Edmundo line. For the first time, Habanos is using a second ring with the format designation "Wide Edmundo" for this format.
Montecristo is the best known and probably most popular Habanos brand in the world. It is the benchmark by which many Habanos lovers judge other brands. The name is a tribute to the famous novel "The Count of Montecristo" by Alexandre Dumas. This novel was a favourite reading of the reader in the manufactory among the cigar rollers known as "torcedores".
