Montecristo was created in 1935 in Havana, Cuba, and named after the hero of Alexandre Dumas' novel The Count of Monte Cristo. It quickly became one of the most recognized and sought-after cigar brands in the world. Today the non-Cuban Montecristo is made in the Dominican Republic under Altadis U.S.A., offering rich, balanced blends that honor the brand's storied heritage.
