25 Montecristo No 3 cigars

Corona format - ring size 42, length 142 mm - hand made - medium to full strength. Montecristo are the most popular Cuban cigars in the world - punto.

Upmann factory in 1935 under the ownership of the Men鮤ez and Garcia families. Instead of names the cigars were given numbers - 1 to 5. Almost overnight Montecristo cigars became a huge success. Only 4 years after the creation of the Montecristo brand, the Men鮤ez and Garcia families became the largest producers of cigars in Cuba.
