Over 235 Years of heritageMontecristo
Montecristo cigars are the name of two brands, one of which is produced in Cuba for Habanos SA, and the other which is found in the Dominican Republic for Altadis SA. Originally, though, after his acquisition of the Particulares Factory in 1935, Alonso Menéndez created the Montecristo brand.
Originally, the brand only had five cigar sizes available, with the addition of a tubed cigar which was produced during the 1940s. The Montecristo brand remained largely unchanged until after nationalisation occurred in 1960. After the brand moved production from Cuba to the Dominican Republic in the mid-1970s, the cigar brand was then open to the US market and customers were able to buy Montecristo cigars in five new sizes between 1970 and 1980.
To date, the Montecristo cigar brand accounts for approximately ¼ of worldwide cigar sales, and as a result is touted as being the most popular Cuban cigar in the world.
