Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Diamante

In the modern craft cigar scene, hobbyists have come to know that the combination of Rafael Nodal and A.J. Fernández equals pure GOLD! The duo have crafted a number of acclaimed and award-winning cigars in recent years, including the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Nicaragua cigar of 2020, which went on to be named Cigar Aficionado's No. 2 Cigar of the Year for 2021.

Not surprisingly, Rafael Nodal and Fernández did not simply create one blend for the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Nicaragua release, and another such offshoot recipe has now materialized as the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Diamante cigar. Spanish for Diamond Edition, the cigar showcases an elite tobacco recipe, toning down the intensity of the original and instead focusing on refinement and finesse.

The Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Diamante begins with a special Cuban-seed hybrid wrapper grown in the Jalapa region of Nicaragua; this leaf is secured over a Criollo binder from Nicaragua's Ometepe island and all-Nicaraguan fillers from Estelí. All told, the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Diamante cigar is milder and more elegant than its predecessor, offering a medium body and nuanced flavors of oak, nutmeg, cola, and rich leather.
