Prices and availability shift weekly. Save this SKU to your watchlist with the Save price alert button to get an email the moment any retailer in your country drops below your target price.

The Duty / Ships column above tells you exactly that. Each retailer listed price is all-in (excise duty + VAT included) only in their home country. Buy from a German retailer as a German buyer: what you see is what you pay. Buy cross-border (e.g. a Swiss retailer shipping to Germany, or any EU retailer shipping to the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, or Ireland) and the destination country will charge its own tobacco excise + VAT at the door — typically €100–€300 extra on a box of 25 Habanos, sometimes much more for the UK.

If you set your destination country on the page, every row that is genuinely all-in for you gets highlighted in green. The dimmed rows are honest-looking prices that will cost more than they show.

The Montecristo No. 5 is the smallest in the Línea Clásica and the shortest Cuban premium most aficionados keep in their daily rotation. At 4 inches by a 40 ring (Habanos calls the shape Perla), it's designed for the 20-to-30-minute window — a coffee break, a quick after-lunch smoke, the gap before a meeting. Continuous production since 1935 with the same blend, only scaled down: medium-bodied Vuelta Abajo filler under a sturdy Habano wrapper that ages well in a humidor for two to three years.

If you want a side-by-side comparison of Montecristo other vitolas at current European prices, the SKUs we track are: Montecristo No. 4, Montecristo No. 2, Montecristo Petit Edmundo, Montecristo Edmundo. Each link opens its own live price-comparison page.

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 fluctuate at the retailer level — Swiss promotional weeks, German LCDH clearance, the occasional Spanish over-stock. The Finder catches those. A drop alert with no target price will email you on any meaningful reduction; setting a target locks the alert to your specific budget.
