About this cigar
Montecristo Edmundo — tasting notes and pricing context
When Habanos S.A. launched the Línea Edmundo in 2004, the Edmundo itself was the showpiece — a 5.3-inch, 52-ring vitola named after Edmond Dantès, the count of Monte Cristo in Dumas's novel. The line was Montecristo's first serious move into thicker, oilier modern formats, and the Edmundo became the line's commercial anchor. It is fuller-bodied than the Línea Clásica No. 2 or No. 4 — darker wrapper, more ligero in the filler, an oilier finish — and the Robusto-style shape concentrates the smoke into a richer, denser register.
The smoke evolves dramatically. First third opens with espresso, cocoa and a touch of leather; the middle blooms into earthy notes with hints of dark chocolate and aged cedar; the last third drops into a long, slow finish with coffee, leather and a whisper of dried fruit. Smoking time runs 60 to 75 minutes. Across Europe the Edmundo sits in the middle of the Montecristo price band: Noblego runs roughly €670 per box of 25, Cigarworld around €690, Cigarmust CHF 715 (~€750 after FX). The €80 absolute spread between cheapest and dearest European retailer is a typical Montecristo-tier deal — worth a 30-second comparison before purchase, especially in restock cycles.
