Montecristo is arguably the biggest name in cigars. The legendary brand can trace its roots back to pre-Castro Cuba and has been delivering world-class cigars for decades now. And in 2021, the brand delivered one of its finest to date, Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Nicaragua. The 95-rated blend was ranked as Cigar Aficionado’s #2 Cigar of the Year in 2021 and remains one of the brand’s best-selling blends.

Produced to celebrate the brand’s 85th anniversary, Montecristo enlisted the help of master-blender AJ Fernandez to produce this gem. Comprised of all Nicaraguan tobaccos, this medium to full-bodied treat is finished with a dark, smooth Habano wrapper. Expect a smooth, balanced cigar that emits a ton of flavor. Pair generously with a nice bourbon and this weekend’s savings and score big on one of the finest cigars on the market.
