Montecristo Especial No. 2
Sales quantity limited to 6 pieces per customer
Worth knowing
At the same time as its longer sister, this classic Montecristo began to conquer the hearts of aficionados. The massive boxes of 100 pieces that used to exist are history – thank goodness this great cigar lives on.
Flavours
As in Cohiba, the two are similar Lancero formats taste naturally strong – and as there, the smaller Vítola is also the somewhat lighter and more beginner-friendly cigar at MC, corresponds more to the first than the last three quarters of the long one. In other words, the typical brand aromas are a little sweeter and sweeter, the captivating spice and earthiness of the “Especiales” are more strongly integrated into gentle coffee and chocolate nuances, the roasted aromas are more moderate. The strength doesn't pick up quite as much towards the end either.

Montecristo
Der mondäne Ruf der Marke Montecristo eilt ihr in der ganzen Welt voraus. Keine Marke ist bekannter und keine ist so sehr Synonym für eine Premium-Habano. Sie ist die Referenz für alle anderen Habanos. Qualität, Geschmack und Aroma sind herausragend und sehr intensiv. Allein der klangvolle Name weckt bei jedem Aficionado Erinnerungen an die Kindheit und die erste Begegnung mit dem Roman Der Graf von Montecristo von Alexandre Dumas. Die Namensgleichheit ist kein Zufall, sondern der Tatsache geschuldet, dass der Roman eine der Lieblingslektüren der Vorleser für die torcedores in der Manufaktur H.Upmann war, wo sie ursprünglich handgefertigt wurde. Auf der Suche nach einem gebührenden Namen für die Spitzen-Habanos war man sich also schnell einig. Seit ihrer Taufe in den 1930er Jahren ist die Montecristo eine Instanz, an der keine andere Habano vorbeikommt. Zumindest für die Liebhaber mittelkräftiger Mischungen. Heutzutage umfasst die Auswahl, die ursprünglich auf ein von No.1 bis 5 bezeichnetes Sortiment beschänkt war, alles was das Herz des Zigarrenrauchers begehrt – von der majestätischen Montecristo A bis zur kleinen Joyita. Ihnen allen ist der typische Montecristo-Geschmack gemeinsam.

Details
The Montecristo 6 cigar case safely preserves all the flavours of the cigars. The black upper part of the case, which can be easily removed from the black lower part, features the 24-carat gold-plated logo. The emblem with the six crossed swords around the lily in the centre of the triangle adorns the square case like a brooch. You can store 6 cigars with a length of up to 15 cm and a diameter of up to 1.5 cm in the collapsed case - when pulled out, even cigars with a length of up to 20 cm can fit in it.
The name Boveda comes from the Spanish and translates into German as vaulted cellar. It is a patented product for humidity control that has been specially developed for use in cigar cases, countertop and travelling humidors. Each Humipak contains a saturated solution of natural salts and pure water, protected by a bi-directional permeable membrane. With the Boveda Humipaks, you no longer have to remember to top up the water reservoir in your humidor, as you simply have to replace the corresponding number of Boveda Paks in the humidor every 2 - 3 months. The Humipaks release treated moisture and significantly reduce the risk of bacteria, mould or fungi developing in the humidor compared to other humidification systems. The Humipaks also prevent fluctuations in the moisture balance, allowing the cigars to mature perfectly. The constant moisture balance preserves the natural oils and sucrose, allowing cigars to improve with age.
