CubanExperienced smokersMontecristo Edmundo
Named for the Count of Monte Cristo himself — a thick, rich modern Cuban with cocoa, coffee and earth in a satisfying 52-ring format.
Flavor profile
Sweet · Roast · Earthy
The Montecristo Edmundo is named for Edmond Dantès, the hero of The Count of Monte Cristo, and it's one of the brand's most loved modern releases. At 5.3 inches by a thick 52 ring gauge, it's a chunkier, richer take on the classic Monte blend — introduced in 2004 and an instant hit.
What it tastes like
This is the Montecristo profile turned up: deep cocoa and coffee, an earthy core, cedar, and roasted-nut sweetness. The fat ring gauge delivers a cooler, smoother smoke with plenty of body — it sits firmly in medium-to-full territory and lasts a good hour. It's rich and rewarding without crossing into harsh.
Who it's for
The Edmundo is for smokers who've moved beyond mild cigars and want a substantial, flavorful Cuban. It's a fantastic after-dinner smoke — pair it with an espresso or an aged rum and give it time.
