Why this cigar
Our House Reserve stock, carefully cellared from 2015, offers the world’s best-known Havana in its most iconic size. If you’re reading a Montecristo No. 4 review or looking to buy Montecristo cigars UK, expect the classic cocoa-cedar profile with extra smoothness and polish from graceful age.
Flavour & draw
Sweet cedar and warm pastry lead into Monte’s signature cocoa and roasted coffee, layered with vanilla biscuit, toasted almond and a nip of black pepper. Additional rest lends honeyed sweetness, rounder texture and a cleaner, longer finish. The slim 42 RG focuses aroma while keeping a cool burn and composed, easy draw.
Size guide
Compare this vitola: Robusto • Churchill • Toro (a classic Petit Corona—shorter than a Robusto with concentrated flavour and aroma).
Pairing & when to smoke
Perfect with espresso, vintage Champagne or a gentle Speyside; an elegant pre-dinner pause or refined weekend companion.
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.
