📜 History

Montecristo was established in 1935 at the H. Upmann factory in Havana. The brand is named after The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, a novel reportedly popular among cigar rollers who had it read aloud to them while they worked. The No. 4 has been the world's top-selling Cuban cigar for decades.
