Montecristo 80 Aniversario

Montecristo 80 Aniversario – A Limited Tribute to Eight Decades of Montecristo

The Montecristo 80 Aniversario was released in 2015 to mark eight decades since the marca’s founding in Havana in 1935, and only 30,000 boxes were produced worldwide. Rolled in the Double Edmundo format at 165 mm (6.5″) with a 55 ring gauge, it uses an exclusive blend of Vuelta Abajo long filler selected for the anniversary.

Every box carries gold-finished bands that distinguish it from the standard Montecristo range, and the cigar itself is a genuinely medium to full-bodied smoke, a step up in intensity from most of the marca’s regular production. It is built for a long, unhurried session rather than a quick smoke.

❓ Why Smokers Choose Montecristo 80 Aniversario

The 80 Aniversario is sought after by collectors who want a genuinely limited Montecristo:

• Finite production of 30,000 boxes means availability will not be repeated.
• Medium to Full body offers noticeably more intensity than everyday vitolas like the Montecristo No. 2.
• Gold-finished bands and anniversary packaging make it a standout in any collection.
• Rewards patient smokers with a two-hour session that develops through multiple flavor stages.
