Rows in grey were last read more than 60 days ago: they are history, not quotes, and never count as the cheapest. Listed price for the box of 10 in the retailer's own currency, their own tax included. A box crossing a border picks up destination duty and VAT on top — the "duty paid EU" mark shows the few retailers whose price is all-in beyond their home market.

The piece

The longer Edmundo. 90-minute Toro Grande format with the line's signature cocoa-and-espresso profile in a fuller, slower-burning smoke.

The Double Edmundo was added to the Línea Edmundo in 2013 to extend the line into a fuller, longer-smoking format. At 6.1 inches by a 50 ring (Habanos calls the shape Toro Grande), it's roughly an inch longer than the standard Edmundo and the longer format gives the cigar a slower, more complex evolution. The blend is identical to the rest of the Edmundo line — heavier Vuelta Abajo ligero than the Línea Clásica, darker oilier Habano wrapper, fuller body — but the longer burn time means the cigar moves through more flavour phases before finishing.

The smoke is rich and dense. First third opens with espresso, cocoa and a touch of leather; the middle blooms into dark chocolate, dried fruit and aged cedar; the last third drops into a long, oily finish with leather, coffee and a whisper of pepper. Smoking time runs 80 to 100 minutes. Across Europe a box of 10 sits in the €550 to €690 range: Noblego runs around €595, Cigarworld €610, Cigarmust CHF 660 (~€695 after FX). The Double Edmundo allocates tightly — it's frequently OOS at one or two major retailers — so a watchlist back-in-stock alert is genuinely useful here.

Questions

  • Where is the cheapest place to buy Montecristo Double Edmundo in Europe right now?

All 5 retailers we track for this vitola are in the table above, each with the date its price was read: rows marked live were re-read by our scraper within the last fortnight, the rest were checked by hand.

    Prices and stock move. Save a price alert and we email you when any retailer drops below your target or the box comes back in stock.

  • Will the listed price include duty + VAT for my country?

    Only if you live where the retailer is. Every price on this page is all-in (excise duty + VAT included) in the retailer's home country and nowhere else. Buy from a German retailer to a German address and what you see is what you pay. Buy across a border — a Swiss retailer shipping into the EU, or any EU retailer shipping to the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland or Ireland — and the destination country charges its own tobacco excise and VAT on arrival. How much depends on the destination's excise rate; our import-duty guide walks through the main markets.

    The few retailers whose price is all-in beyond their home market carry a "duty paid EU" mark in the table.

  • How does Montecristo Double Edmundo compare to other Montecristo cigars?

    Montecristo Double Edmundo is a Toro Grande, ring 50, 155 mm, full strength, sold in a box of 10. The other Montecristo vitolas on the board, each with its own price page, are Montecristo No. 4, Montecristo No. 2, Montecristo Petit Edmundo, Montecristo Edmundo. Per-cigar price is the fair way to compare them: box sizes differ.

  • Is the price for Montecristo Double Edmundo likely to drop?

    Habanos S.A. (the Cuban state tobacco monopoly) sets the worldwide release-price floor for every Habano in this catalogue. That floor went up roughly 40% during the 2022–2024 global price harmonisation, and Habanos has signalled further annual increases through 2027. So the long-term trend is up, not down.

    Short-term, prices move at the retailer level — promotions, clearance, a restock at a different price. Where we have a history, the 90-day line on this page shows what the cheapest box in Europe has actually done. A price alert with no target emails you on any drop; setting a target limits it to your budget.
