When Rafael Nodal and AJ Fernandez set out to create the original Montecristo 1935, they came across a blend that was great, but needed just a little more time to age for the flavors to develop. The original Montecristo 1935 received a '95'-rating as well as being awarded the #2 cigar of the year in 2021, so they knew they had to follow it up with something truly special. And boy, did they ever!

On the medium-full bodied side of things, the Montecristo 1935 Edicion Diamante is an excellent example of how complex Nicaraguan tobacco can be. Three different tobaccos from Esteli make up the filler, a Criollo leaf from Ometepe is used for the binder, while the whole thing is wrapped in a silky hybrid leaf grown in Jalapa. Despite being a Nicaraguan puro, this cigar hits you with wave after wave of cocoa, earth, soft pepper, and creaminess. Do yourself a favor and pick up a box today!

Good news! The Montecristo 1935 Edicion Diamante has received a 93-point rating, as well as earning a spot on the top 25 cigars of 2023, with the review noting "First puffs erupt with pepper, leather and earth, but a steady flow of roasted nuts, baking spices and dark chocolate even out the smoke."
