Montecristo Especiales No. 2

Montecristo Especiales No. 2 – Lancero Elegance in a Practical Length

The Montecristo Especiales No. 2 distills the refinement of the lancero family into a more approachable format. Rolled in the Laguito No. 2 factory vitola of 152 mm (6″) with a 38 ring gauge, it offers the same slender profile as its grand sibling in a length that fits an ordinary evening.

Like all Laguito vitolas, the No. 2 carries the heritage of Havana’s El Laguito factory, where these slim formats were perfected. The 38 ring gauge keeps the wrapper close to the palate and gives the Montecristo blend a transparency that wide modern formats cannot reproduce.
