Montecristo Platinum was introduced in 2002 in small quantities, and is billed as the brand's strongest release to date. It has also set a fresh standard for handcrafted, premium produced cigars. Made with a proprietary San Andrés Cubano wrapper that is grown in the ever-famous San Andres Valley, this gargantuan release is exploding with unique nuances that will make you think twice about smoking other brands. Sealed with a select Dominican binder and a special blend of aged Dominican, Peruvian, and Nicaraguan long filler tobaccos, these incredible cigars offer a bountiful flavor surrounded with a smooth, silky smoke.
