Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Nicaragua Cigars

Nearly a century after the first Montecristo cigar was handcrafted in 1935, Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Nicaragua cigars represent a first-ever interpretation of the original blend from 1935. But to accomplish such a monumental task, it takes some phenomenal blending talent. Enter the Grupo de Maestros, A.J. Fernandez, and Tabacalera USA's Head of Product Capability, Rafael Nodal. The real challenge was getting Nicaraguan tobaccos that reflect the classic characteristics, construction, and balanced flavors of the original 1935 Montecristo-a Cuban! Made at A.J. Fernandez's San Lotano factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua with tobaccos grown on AJ's estate farms, the blend is hush-hush. But the result is a full smoke with a well-balanced mix of pepper, sweet spice, black coffee, and leather.

A number of publications produce annual cigar of the year awards, however none are more recognized than the top 25 cigar list created by Cigar Aficionado Magazine. The 1935 Anniversary Nicaraguan No. 2, was awarded the #2 Cigar of the year in 2021. They also rated this top quality smoke a 95 out of 100, which is an astounding, but for good reason!
