Created in 1935 by then-owner of the Particulares factory Alonso Menendez, these very fine cigars take their name from Alexander Dumas' "The Count of Monte Cristo," a novel often requested of the lector by the torcedores of the Particulares factory. After Menendez's firm, Menendez, Garcia y Cia, purchased the H. Uppmann factory in 1937, production of the Montecristo was transferred there permanently and remained there after the revolution. Throughout the nineteen seventies and eighties the popularity of the Montecristo marque rose steadily and Montecristo was established, once and for all, as one of Cuba's top-selling cigar brands.
The Edmundo was first introduced to the Montecristo line in 2004. Named for the hero of "The Count of Monte Cristo" the Edmundo is a large robusto made with Montecristo's signature blend of Vuelte Abajo tobaccos. All hand-rolled, long-cut filler, the Edmundo delivers classic Montecristo flavour in a robust, full cigar.
