The year 1998 saw the emergence of a very special limited edition Montecristo featuring the artwork of renown French artist Michel Delacroix, called Montecristo Le Cigare des Artes. While this line of distinctive fuller-flavored cigars was retired only a handful of years later, it paved the way for what would become the Montecristo Platinum series.
The Platinum series itself has seen its share of reboots, with each continuing to offer the lush richness and complexity that modern aficionados demand. The current Platinum recipe features a Mexican San Andres Cubano wrapper, Dominican binder and blend of Nicaraguan, Dominican and Peruvian filler tobaccos.
Medium-bodied with dominant wood, toast, leather, nut and coffee flavors. A solid choice no matter morning, noon or night.
