I bet you didn’t know that Cuban cigar rollers are very well educated and talented people. Well maybe you kind of figured that out on your own but I bet you didn’t know they loved reading books. Now why would that matter or what does it has to do with the Montecristo Cuban cigar brand? Well the name ‘Montecristo’ came from a novel that was very interesting to Cuban cigar rollers back in 1935. Soon Mr. Garcia the producer of Cuban cigars started calling his production line ‘Montecristo’.

Since that time, Montecristo cigars have become one of the most popular cigars that are available throughout the entire world and it is held by many to be the standard as far as Cuban cigars are concerned. To be certain, any other Cuban cigars are judged by the Montecristo. The original Montecristo cigars continued to be manufactured and hand rolled for many years without anything new really being added to the brand.

Montecristo also offers a lot machine rolled cigars now which I guess can contribute to it’s decline in popularity. People like the rare and exotic notion that is attached to Cuban cigars and machine rolled cigars really don’t help. However, I understand it as the machine rolled Cuban cigars are very light in taste and great for beginners trying to step into the Cuban cigar genre to expand their horizons and senses. Remember though that the hand rolled version of Montecristo Cuban cigars are still considered one of the best cigars in the world.

Montecristo cigars have also stepped away from the hand rolled tradition to a certain extent and have added three different machine rolled cigars into the mix, the mini, the Purito and the club. Of all of the Montecristo cigars that are in existence, however, the Montecristo number 4 is not only the best-known cigar that is rolled by this company, it is the world’s best-selling cigar.

If you like a mild to strong cigars but prefer the best in quality, the Montecristo is for you. This brand of Cuba offers a variety of models that will satisfy anyone’s needs. You just can’t beat a Cuban cigar and you can’t beat a Montecristo.
