Montecristo Dantes Edicion Limitada 2016

Montecristo Dantés Edición Limitada 2016 – A Rare Churchill Named After Dumas’s Hero

The Montecristo Dantés Edición Limitada 2016 takes its name from Edmond Dantès, the hero of Alexandre Dumas’s novel The Count of Monte Cristo, the very book that inspired the Montecristo name. Rolled in the Hermosos No. 1 format created exclusively for this release, it measures 167 mm (6.6″) with a 48 ring gauge, a slim, elegant Churchill-style profile rarely seen in the modern lineup.

As with every Edición Limitada, the filler was rested for two years before rolling in 2016. Boxes still available today have aged naturally for close to a decade beyond that cure, giving the tobacco a rounder, more settled character than on release.

✅ Product Highlights

🍂 Tasting Notes

• First third: wood and roasted peanuts settle into a sweet peanut butter character, with root beer and toasted notes.
• Second third: a livelier, slightly acidic profile brings paper and spiced muffin on the retrohale, with walnuts and rice in the finish.
• Final third: nuttiness returns alongside a savory, potato chip like note and mineral touches, closing medium to full.

❓ Why Smokers Choose Montecristo Dantés Edición Limitada 2016

This vitola stands apart from any other cigar in the catalog:

• A literary tribute vitola unlike anything else in the Montecristo range.
• The elegant 48 ring gauge suits a slower, more refined draw than a thicker Habano such as the Montecristo Grand Edmundo Edicion Limitada 2010.
• Naturally aged stock delivers more complexity than the 2016 release offered on day one.
• Genuinely limited: once remaining boxes sell, this vitola will not return.
