The original Montecristo Epic cigar first hit humidor shelves in 2012, setting the stage for a new era of the world-renowned Montecristo brand through the use of vintage tobaccos and a more bold smoking profile than had been seen from Montecristo before. In the years following, the Epic sub-brand has seen select new additions, now including a special recipe that includes nine-year aged tobaccos.
Introducing the Montecristo Epic Vintage 12, an ultra-premium blend that is patiently crafted at the Tabacalera de Garcia factory in the Dominican Republic. Staying true to the Epic's theme of vintage leaf, Montecristo Epic Vintage 12 boasts an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, Dominican binder, and fillers of Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic (harvested from a 2012 crop). These leaves were grown by the industry's leading agronomists, including the Plasencia family in Nicaragua and José Mendez & Co. in the Dominican Republic (the latter supplying Montecristo with tobacco since the brand's emigration from Cuba).
This is an exquisite combination of tobaccos, producing a complex profile that is delivered through a medium body. Flavors are long-lasting on the palate, showing highlight notes of aromatic florals, clean cedar, zesty nutmeg, cellar must, and sweet brown sugar.

Some construction issues from both the box and COTM, but when it's being a team player, I get lovely notes reminiscent of cookies. A really enjoyable smoke when it lets me!

From the Oct 21 COTM this was a medium bodied cigar with pepper and woody notes. Very solid construction.

This cigar had great potential with some great flavors, unfortunately as with every Montecristo I have tried, it did not want to stay lit. It is worth giving it another try.

One of my favorite Montecristos. Definitely a step up from the average Monte. Medium+ bodied and smooth. Earthy, nutty flavors. Keep 'em coming!

Decent smoke. Had some construction issues on a couple but the flavors are great and so is the presentation. Definitely worth trying.
