Montecristo's premium Línea 1935 in a 6-inch toro — a refined, fuller-bodied Cuban with deep cocoa, coffee and leather.
The Montecristo Línea 1935 is the brand's premium modern line, launched in 2017 with names drawn from The Count of Monte Cristo. Maltés — a nod to the hero's nickname, the Maltese Sailor — is a toro-format vitola at 6 inches by a 53 ring gauge, a size that was new to the Habanos portfolio when it debuted.
What it tastes like
The Línea 1935 blend is richer and more polished than the standard Monte range. Maltés delivers deep cocoa and coffee, cedar, an earthy core, and a leathery note that develops as you smoke. It's solidly medium-to-full, smooth, and built to show off well-aged tobacco — a more luxurious spin on the classic Montecristo character.
Who it's for
This is a cigar for aficionados who appreciate the premium end of Cuba's catalogue and want a refined, fuller smoke. Treat it with care: smoke it slowly, ideally after a meal, with an espresso or an aged rum.
