Montecristo Petit No. 2
Worth knowing
In 2013 – the trend for „short fatties“ was at its peak – this lovable short version of the famous „No. 2“ was launched. Like the equally large „Petit Edmundo“ a fun cigar of the purest water!
Flavours
In terms of taste and smoking time (approx. 50 – 60 minutes), the Habano is close to the last two thirds of its big sister. That is to say: It is more intense, richer and somewhat lighter in aroma, with vague parallels to Ramón Allones (nuts, earth). However, the blissful melting of dark chocolate and the creamy spiciness of espresso macchiato are not missed either. A very flavourful, above-average Montecristo with a linear, but despite the coolness, clear development. A noble little powerhouse!

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 term Boveda comes from the Spanish and means vaulted cellar. It is a proprietary humidity control product that has been specially developed for use in cigar cases, countertop and travel humidors. Each Humipak contains a saturated salt and water solution protected by a bi-directional permeable membrane. The Boveda Humipaks offer the user the advantage that he no longer has to remember to top up the humidor's water reservoir, as he simply replaces the corresponding number of Boveda Paks in the humidor every 2 - 3 months. The Humipaks are designed to release treated moisture into the humidor, thus minimising the risk of bacteria, mould or fungi developing in the humidor. They also have the advantage over other humidification systems that they minimise fluctuations in the moisture balance, allowing cigars to mature perfectly. The constant moisture balance preserves the natural oils and sugar components of the cigars, giving them the opportunity to improve with age.
If you've ever tried to roll a cigar yourself at an event, you'll really appreciate the skill of the rollers - but unfortunately there's always the odd ‘Monday copy’. With this ingenious tool, you no longer have to be annoyed by cigars that are rolled too tightly - simply place the drill bit at the cut end of the head, turn it as straight as possible into the cigar until the end of the spiral and drill a little more if necessary. In this way, unwanted leaf pieces are not pushed to the side, but remain in the drill and can be pulled out. The product is inspired by a dentist's tool and makes every cigar draw!
