History & Heritage of Montecristo
Founded in 1935, Montecristo takes its name from Alexandre Dumas’ *The Count of Monte Cristo*—a favorite among factory workers thanks to the lector who read to torcedores as they rolled cigars. Montecristo quickly rose to prominence, eventually taking over the historic H. Upmann factory and expanding its reach through strong UK and US distribution partnerships.
Montecristo’s early cigars—Montecristo 1 through 5—remain staples to this day. Over the decades, the brand has innovated with large formats like the Montecristo A, and catered to modern tastes with short, thick vitolas like the Edmundo and Petit Edmundo. Their adaptability keeps them at the pinnacle of Cuban cigar excellence.
