Why is this cigar called Edmundo? It is named after Edmundo Dantes, hero of Alexandro Dumas’ famous novel “The Count of Montecristo”. It has this classic, bitter-sweet, tangy flavour that has made Montecristo the world’s most popular Havana cigar brand.

Appearance :
Construction :
All the Edmundos I have smoked so far had flawless construction, nice wrappers and appearance. The smoking experience is wonderful with an easy draw producing gobs of thick smoke.
 
Flavor :
What striked me the most about this cigar is the pleasant saltiness that the blend delivers to the palate. It is a typical Montecristo. Other than that all I can say with positiveness is that the blend was very balanced, refined and satisfying.

Value :
Is not easy to find the “right one”, but when you find it you can enjoy a really cuban masterpiece, which is worth the money you’ve paid.

Overall Rating :
This cigar has never let me down. I’m curious to see how these will be with some years of age, but somehow I believe that the mellowing or smoothing out of flavors that tends to occur with age may not be ideally suited to the Montecristo Edmundo…
