Montecristo Non-Cuban Monte by Montecristo Jacopo No. 2

Altadis U.S.A. Inc. boasts an impressive portfolio of iconic cigar brands, including Romeo y Julieta, H. Upmann, and Montecristo, which have been enjoyed by cigar enthusiasts for generations. In a bold move, the company has reimagined each of these legendary brands, resulting in innovative new releases. The Monte by Montecristo line is a reenvisioning that echoes the successful revamp of Romeo y Julieta in 2012. The sleek, modern packaging features a fresh interpretation of the Montecristo name. However, the true innovation lies within the cigar itself. Unlike traditional Dominican Montecristos, which tend to be mild and feature Connecticut-seed wrappers, Monte by Montecristo Jacopo boasts a distinct blend comprising an Ecuadorian Havana wrapper, Dominican filler, and a dual-binder approach, utilizing both Dominican Olor and Nicaraguan Corojo leaves. The box-pressed Jacopo No. 2, launched in 2013, delivers a rich smoking experience, with pronounced leather and spice flavors on the palate, complemented by a subtle chocolate note on the finish, making it a delightful reinterpretation of a beloved classic.
