Cincinnati Wine-Jungle Jim's International Market Cigar Tasting Event

Onyx Reserve & Romeo and Julieta Reserva Real

Montecriso, the most famous of the many famous Havana brands, started only in 1935 as a new brand from Menendez, Garcia y Cia., then the owners of the H. Upmann brand. The name is reported to have been inspired by Alexandre Dumas' 1844 novel Le Comte de Montecristo. With a strong marketing effort from Alfred Dunhill of London, this brand became the most popular of all Havana exports. There are no machine-made shapes in this range and the strength is medium; in fact, it has become the standard by which all other Havanas are now judged.

The Montecristo Platinum Series sets new standards for hand-made, luxury cigars. Crafted with selected Mexican Cubano wrapper, these exquisite cigars offer the connoisseur a rich, sensual smoking experience without equal. The original painting on the box, depicting Havana's famous harbor in an earlier time was created by Michel Delacriox, the acclaimed French master of the naïf tradition. The Platinum Series is truly a reward for all of the senses.

Reminiscent of the original, the Montecristo White boasts a lovely, hand selected Connecticut Shade Ecuadorian wrapper. With a Nicaraguan binder and a blend of select Dominican and Nicaraguan long fillers, the Montecristo White makes for a rich and satisfying well rounded smoke.
