Montecristo Robusto Edicion Limitada 2006

A big hit with aficionados around the world.

 

In 2006, Habanos S.A. celebrated the fifth anniversary of the program by re-releasing three of the most popular Edición Limitada releases to that point, the Cohiba Pirámides and the Partagás Serie D No.3, both of which were originally released in 2001, and this cigar, the Montecristo Robusto, which was part of the debut class in 2000.



The robusto vitola, measuring 4 7/8 inches (124mm) long with a 50 ring gauge, is one of the more common vitolas in the Habanos S.A. portfolio, yet the Montecristo marca simply did not use the size at the time. It—along with a number of non-regular production vitolas—had been used for the Reserva del Milenio and Siglo XXI Millennium Humidor releases in 1999, though both of those were limited editions as well


It would reappear in 2003 via the Selección Robustos sampler, and the Montecristo name has since added a robusto to its regular portfolio, the Montecristo Open Master which was released in 2009 though is believed to be a different blend. Within the regular Montecristo line remains without the size, the closest thing being the Edmundo, which measures 5 3/10 inches (135mm) long with a 52 ring gauge.


This cigar is a great Robusto with an even more beautiful dark brown colored wrapper which comes across so smooth and silky that you wanted to bite into this cigar with pleasure. The burning behavior and the taste development of this exceptional Puro is to be rated without any fault.
