A shorter take on Cuba's famous torpedo — the Petit No. 2 keeps the tapered head and rich Montecristo flavor in a quick 4.7-inch smoke.
Flavor profile
Sweet · Roast · Earthy · Spice
The Montecristo Petit No. 2 is a clever idea: take the brand's iconic torpedo — the legendary No. 2 — and shrink it. The result is a petit pirámide at 4.7 inches by a 52 ring gauge, keeping the famous tapered head but trimming the smoking time. It was introduced in 2013.
What it tastes like
The pointed head concentrates the smoke and lets you fine-tune the draw, just like its full-size sibling. Flavor-wise it's pure Montecristo: cocoa, coffee, cedar, earth, and a measured black-pepper spice. It's medium-to-full and gets there quickly thanks to the short format — a 40-minute smoke that doesn't skimp on intensity.
Who it's for
This is for experienced smokers who love the No. 2's profile and tapered shape but want a shorter session. It's a satisfying after-lunch or post-meal smoke. Pair it with an espresso or an aged rum.
