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 25 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 reference pyramid. Coffee, leather, and a long earthy finish — what most aficionados use to grade other pirámides.
The Montecristo No. 2 is the reference Pirámides. When aficionados argue about whether a regional or limited-edition pirámide is good, this is the cigar they're comparing it against. A 6.1-inch tapered figurado with a 52 ring gauge at the foot, the No. 2 was added to the Montecristo line in 1936 and has anchored the brand's premium tier ever since. The tapered head concentrates the smoke as it draws, which is what gives the No. 2 its signature density compared to a parejo of the same length.
The smoke evolves more dramatically than most other Cuban premiums. First third opens with espresso, leather, and a touch of black pepper; the middle moves through cocoa and dried fruit; the last third drops into a deep earthy finish with hints of aged cedar. Average smoking time is 75 to 90 minutes. Across Europe, the box of 25 spreads from £580 in the UK (Turmeaus, C.Gars) to €645 in Germany (Noblego) and CHF 720 at Cigarmust — a ~€100 absolute spread that's worth a 30-second comparison before purchase.

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 No. 2 compare to other Montecristo cigars?
Montecristo No. 2 is a Pirámides, ring 52, 156 mm, full strength, sold in a box of 25. The other Montecristo vitolas on the board, each with its own price page, are Montecristo No. 4, Montecristo Petit Edmundo, Montecristo Edmundo, Montecristo No. 5. Per-cigar price is the fair way to compare them: box sizes differ.
Is the price for Montecristo No. 2 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.
