Montecristo Especiales No. 1

Montecristo Especiales No. 1 – The Marca’s Grand Lancero

The Montecristo Especiales No. 1 is the brand’s interpretation of the aristocratic lancero format. Rolled in the Laguito No. 1 factory vitola of 192 mm (7.6″) with a 38 ring gauge, it is among the longest and most elegant cigars in regular Habanos production.

The Laguito No. 1 was born at the El Laguito factory and remains one of the most demanding vitolas a torcedor can roll. In the Especiales No. 1, its slender proportions turn the Montecristo blend into something linear and articulate, with the wrapper leaf playing a leading role from the first draw to the last.
