Montecristo No. 4 Reserva Cosecha 2002

Montecristo No. 4 Reserva Cosecha 2002 – The Best-Seller in Its Sunday Best

The Montecristo No. 4 Reserva Cosecha 2002 takes the world’s most popular Habano and rebuilds it from selected tobaccos of the 2002 harvest, aged a minimum of three years before rolling. Released in 2007 under the Reserva program, it keeps the familiar Mareva format of 129 mm (5.1″) with a 42 ring gauge while transforming its character.

Reserva releases are produced once and never repeated. Every box is numbered, and the stock remaining today carries not only the original ageing but nearly two decades of natural maturation since release.
