Altadis U.S.A., maker of world-renowned premium cigars, announces the release of the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Doble Diamante. The Premium Cigar Association (“PCA”) Trade Show 2024 will serve as the launchpad for the brand’s most exclusive Montecristo yet. With an MSRP of $150 (per cigar) and only 250 boxes produced, this cigar embodies the essence of luxury and elegance.
Inspired by the award-winning Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Nicaragua brand, the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Doble Diamante is a true masterpiece, featuring a selected blend of rare and aged Nicaraguan tobaccos, masterminded by Rafael Nodal (VP Product Capability, Tabacalera USA) and acclaimed Nicaraguan cigar maker A.J. Fernandez.
Rafael Nodal stated: “This unique project has been many years in the making. We worked tirelessly to create a work of art that we felt demanded the very best in terms of flavor, aroma and complexity.”
This Nicaraguan puro was created for the true cigar connoisseur and incorporates extra aged tobacco leaves grown at A.J. Fernandez’s Finca la Lilia and San Lotano farms in the fertile Estelí Valley. A slow fermentation process elevated the flavors and aromas of the tobacco, which has been aged for over 10 years. This beautiful soft-pressed cigar has an excellent draw and razor-sharp burn. The smoke is sweet and nutty, with notes of vanilla that intermingles with elements of cocoa, hearty wood, and mineral undertone, before a spicy, cedary finish. The end result is balanced and flavorful.
The Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Doble Diamante will be available in one vitola, a 54 x 6 ½ Toro and comes dressed in a stunning 20-count wooden box with a piano finish and metal accents. The box also serves as a keepsake humidor for the perfect cigar collector piece.
To further support the launch, the brand has also designed a bespoke, diamond-shaped decanter set, that will only be available for retailers who purchase the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Doble Diamante box. Only a select number of decanters have been produced.
