Montecristo Linea 1935 Maltes

Montecristo Linea 1935 Maltes – A Vitola Unprecedented in the Montecristo Range

The Montecristo Linea 1935 Maltes introduced a second brand-new size to the marca’s catalogue when the Linea 1935 launched in 2017 to mark Montecristo’s founding. Built on the Sobresalientes factory shape, it measures 153 mm (6″) with a 53 ring gauge, sitting between the compact Dumas and the oversized Leyenda in the tribute collection.

Hand-rolled with long filler tobacco from Vuelta Abajo, the Maltes opens with oak, corn and vanilla on the unlit wrapper before developing into a layered smoke that moves from earth toward brighter citrus and honey. It shares the line’s signature Carmelite lacquered packaging.

✅ Product Highlights

• Totalmente a mano, tripa larga: fully handmade with 100% Cuban long filler.

🍂 Tasting Notes

• First third: earth, hay and oak on the wrapper, with leather and ground coffee on the cold draw.
• Second third: caramel sweetness builds over the earthy base, joined by a light citrus lift.
• Final third: honey and black pepper brighten the profile, with grassy notes closing the finish.

• Balanced proportions that sit comfortably between the Dumas and the Leyenda.
• A more complex, evolving profile than the brand’s everyday Montecristo No. 4.
• Medium to Full body suits both seasoned Montecristo smokers and newcomers to the 1935 line.
