Description
Montecristo Brillantes Year of the Dragon
The Montecristo Brillantes Year of the Dragon is a tribute to the rich traditions and high craftsmanship synonymous with one of the most prestigious cigar brands in the world. This exclusive edition, released to commemorate the Chinese New Year of 2024, is a celebration of the Dragon, a symbol of power, strength, and good fortune in Chinese culture.
Each cigar measures 5 inches in length with a 53-ring gauge, aligning with the modern preference for ‘fat robustos’. Known as ‘Venerable’ in factory terms, these cigars are a testament to the Montecristo legacy of quality. The Brillantes are entirely handmade with long filler, using meticulously selected wrapper, filler, and binder leaves from the renowned Vuelta Abajo zone in the Pinar del Río region, the heart of Cuban tobacco excellence.
The Montecristo Brillantes Box of 18 Habanos is as much a collector’s item as a connoisseur’s choice. The packaging is adorned with a striking red and gold colour scheme, deeply rooted in Chinese tradition representing prosperity and wealth. The Montecristo Brillantes Year of the Dragon is not just a cigar; it’s an experience designed to be savoured, with a perfect draw, excellent combustion, and a light grey compact ash that speaks to its impeccable construction.
Pairing suggestions for this medium to full-bodied Habano include spirits such as rums and 8-year-old whiskies, enhancing the smoking experience to about 40 minutes of pure indulgence. This edition does not feature the NFC chip seen in previous releases. Still, it continues the legacy of Habanos S.A.’s dedication to the Chinese lunar calendar, marking the fifth consecutive year of such unique creations. Montecristo Brillantes Box of 18
Whether as a gift for a discerning aficionado or a personal treat, the Montecristo Brillantes Year of the Dragon is a luxurious addition to any collection, promising an extraordinary smoking journey that honours the spirit of the Dragon.
