Montecristo Epic Robusto

Montecristo Epic is the full-bodied chapter of the marque, built around vintage leaf. An Ecuadorian Habano wrapper covers a Nicaraguan binder and a filler of aged Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos from the 2007 crop, handmade in the Dominican Republic by Altadis’s master artisans and shipped with a certificate of authenticity. Rich and direct: coffee, earth and spice over a dark, sweet core. The Montecristo for smokers who find the Classic too polite.

The 5″ x 52 robusto — compact, and the spice arrives early.
