The Reserva series is a celebration of Montecristo's timeless legacy, blending tradition with the finest tobacco craftsmanship to deliver a cigar that is both complex and refined.
Measuring 5 3/8 inches in length with a 52-ring gauge, the Edmundo Reserva 2018 is a robust and generously sized cigar.

At the heart of this cigar is an expertly aged Cuban tobacco blend, which has undergone a meticulous aging process to bring out its depth and complexity. The wrapper, binder, and filler are all sourced from the Vuelta Abajo region, Cuba’s premier tobacco-growing area, known for producing some of the world’s finest tobacco leaves. This aging process enhances the smoothness and balance, resulting in a full-bodied smoke with impeccable construction and burn.
Upon lighting, the Montecristo Edmundo Reserva 2018 delivers an initial burst of leather, cedar, and espresso, with undertones of dark chocolate and a hint of spice. As the cigar progresses, you’ll notice layers of complexity with flavours evolving into earthy, nutty, and creamy notes, accompanied by a subtle sweetness on the finish. The draw is smooth and the burn is even, making for an effortless and pleasurable smoking experience.
