Why this cigar
The long, elegant Monte that rewards unhurried evenings. If you’re reading a Montecristo Especial No. 1 review or looking to buy Montecristo cigars UK, this classic lancero channels the brand’s cocoa-cedar depth into a slender, aromatic format with exceptional finesse.
Flavour & draw
Silky waves of sweet cedar and vanilla biscuit over roasted coffee and cocoa, with toasted almond, gentle baking spice and a bright twist of orange zest. The slim 38 RG focuses flavour and fragrance; expect a cool, steady burn and a refined, easy draw when sipped at a relaxed pace.
