Montecristo
Montecristo No. 5 H&F House Reserve Aged & Rare Special Release (2015) - Box of 10
£350.00
Montecristo No. 5 — 4" / 40 (UK)
Strength: Medium–Full • Vitola/Size: Perlas — 10.2 cm / 40 RG • Wrapper/Binder/Filler: Cuban / Cuban / Cuban (Vuelta Abajo) • Country/Factory: Cuba — Havana • Smoking time: ~25–35 mins • Format: Singles or Box of 25 (House Reserve, box-dated 2015)
Why this cigar
Our House Reserve, aged from a 2015 box date, mellows the classic Monte profile into a silkier, more integrated experience. If you’re reading a Montecristo No. 5 review or looking to buy Montecristo cigars UK, this compact Perlas serves up “proper cigar” flavour in a refined, under-half-hour format—with the bonus polish of well-kept maturity.
Flavour & draw
Cedar and cocoa lead into roasted coffee, vanilla biscuit and toasted almond, with a nip of black pepper and a bright twist of orange zest. The extra time in our London humidors rounds the edges, adding honeyed sweetness and a longer, cleaner finish. Slim 40 RG stays cool when sipped; burn is steady and the draw composed.
Size guide
Compare this vitola: Robusto • Churchill • Toro (a true “coffee-break” size delivering concentrated Monte character).
Pairing & when to smoke
Perfect with espresso, Champagne or a gentle Speyside; an elegant pre-dinner pause or brisk weekend treat.
Genuine & stored right
For Cuban cigars: EMS-stamped and sourced via official UK channels. All cigars are stored in our London humidors under stable conditions (~65–70% RH). House Reserve denotes older, carefully cellared stock—ask us for current box dates.
FAQs
Is it authentic?
Yes — sourced via official UK channels and EMS-stamped where applicable.
What cutter should I use?
A straight cut suits this size.
How do I store it?
