Ten cigars across five Montecristo lines, two of each, handmade in the Dominican Republic and listed here from mildest to fullest. The Montecristo Anniversary 10-Cigar Sampler Assortment keeps every cigar at 6 inches, so the blend is what you are comparing. Burn times vary on the Burn Clock, from about 65 minutes for the Platinum to about 70 for the rest, straddling Power Hour™ and Weekend Warrior™.
Sampler includes:
-
2 x Montecristo White Series (6 x 54): The mildest here. Creamy, with cedar and almond.
-
2 x Montecristo Classic Series (6 x 52): The original. Mellow and woody with a clean coffee finish.
-
2 x Montecristo Epic Vintage 12 (6 x 52): Aged tobaccos. Cocoa, espresso, cedar and baking spice.
-
2 x Montecristo Epic (6 x 52): A step up in body. Dark chocolate, coffee and light pepper.
-
2 x Montecristo Platinum Series (6 x 50): The boldest. Peppery and earthy with a leather core.
Start the lighter blends with a latte or a light rum, and save the Epic and Platinum for bourbon or Scotch. A solid milestone gift, or a way to find your Montecristo before buying a box. Explore more Montecristo cigars.
