H&F House Reserve Montecristo no.3 (2015) Box 10

When you’re dealing in special-buy cigars, this is the kind of piece that defines the category. The Montecristo No. 3 House Reserve 2015 Box of 10 is exactly that—a limited, mature, Cuban release crafted for the collector and the connoisseur.

Heritage & Rarity
From the storied Montecristo brand, established in Havana in 1935, the No. 3 vitola has always held its place as a refined classic. The House Reserve label from Hunters & Frankau represents cigars set aside under perfect conditions, aged for at least 10 years, released in extremely limited numbers. For the 90th Anniversary of Montecristo, the 2015 release comprised just 135 numbered boxes of each of four classic vitolas including the No. 3.

Specifications & Format

• Vitola: Corona Grande (5 ⅝″ / 143 mm × 42 ring gauge)

• Box: 10 cigars per box

• Aged: Minimum 10 years in reserve before release

Tasting Profile
Expect complexity from the moment you light up. The decade of ageing softens the original vitality of the blend and lends layered notes of cedar, toasted nuts, cocoa, leather and gentle spice. The draw is effortless and the burn precise—this smoke isn’t rushed.

Ideal for the serious humidor, the milestone smoke, or the luxury gift.

 When lighting, go slow and savour each third, the ageing gives nuance that fast smoking would miss. Pair with a high-end single malt or aged rum to match its maturity.
