The Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Diamante is a testament to the power of refinement, as Altadis U.S.A. revisited and perfected a initial prototype that didn't quite meet expectations. After re-examining the blend, Rafael Nodal and A.J. Fernandez discovered that additional aging brought out the best in the cigar. The Edición Diamante is crafted with Nicaraguan tobaccos, boasting a wrapper grown in Jalapa from a hybrid Cuban-seed plant. The filler tobaccos from Estelí are held together by a Criollo binder sourced from Ometepe, an island known for its volcanic soil. Upon lighting, the cigar unleashes an initial burst of pepper, earthy undertones, and leathery notes, which gradually give way to a smooth, balanced flavor profile featuring roasted nuts, warm baking spices, and rich dark chocolate.
