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

A modern Montecristo built around the Edmundo blend in a shorter, punchier 45-minute format.

The Línea Edmundo is the modern face of Montecristo. Launched in 2004 to capture the under-50-minute slot that the No. 4 had owned for decades, the line is named after Edmond Dantès — the count of Monte Cristo himself — and uses a slightly thicker ring gauge with a darker, oilier wrapper than the Línea Clásica. The Petit Edmundo is the shortest of the line at 4.3 inches with a 52 ring, designed for the busy professional who wants Montecristo flavour in under an hour.

The smoke is fuller-bodied than the No. 4 but stops well short of the No. 2's intensity. Expect rich espresso, leather, and a chocolate finish — Montecristo's signature notes amplified by the thicker ring gauge. The Petit Edmundo is also one of the smoothest younger Cubans, which makes it a frequent gift for transitioning Nicaraguan smokers. Pricing across Europe runs roughly €500 to €630 per box of 25, with Switzerland's Cigarmust frequently dropping into the lower CHF 600s during promotional cycles.

    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 Petit Edmundo compare to other Montecristo cigars?

    Montecristo Petit Edmundo is a Petit Edmundo, ring 52, 110 mm, medium 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 No. 2, Montecristo Edmundo, Montecristo No. 5. Per-cigar price is the fair way to compare them: box sizes differ.

  • Is the price for Montecristo Petit 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.
