Montecristo Cigars: Compare Prices from 18 Retailers

Montecristo is arguably the most recognized cigar name in the world. While the original Cuban Montecristo has been produced in Havana since 1935, the non-Cuban Montecristo sold in the United States is made by Altadis USA in the Dominican Republic. The U.S. Montecristo has built its own legacy as a premium brand offering refined, accessible cigars that range from the mild Classic to the bold Epic Craft Cured. CigarFinder compares Montecristo prices across 17+ trusted retailers.

The Montecristo name was born in 1935 in Havana, inspired by Alexandre Dumas's novel The Count of Monte Cristo. A favorite story read aloud to factory rollers. The brand became one of Cuba's most iconic exports. The non-Cuban rights are held by Altadis USA (part of Scandinavian Tobacco Group), which produces the U.S. Line in the Dominican Republic.

The Montecristo Classic is the signature. A mild-to-medium Dominican blend with a silky Connecticut shade wrapper that delivers smooth cream, cedar, and subtle sweetness. It is one of the best-selling premium cigars in America. The Montecristo White offers a slightly fuller, more complex profile. Montecristo Platinum features a richer Habano wrapper.

The Montecristo Epic was blended in collaboration with AJ Fernandez, introducing a bolder, Nicaraguan-influenced character. Epic Craft Cured uses tobaccos cured in bourbon barrels for a unique twist. The 1935 Anniversary Nicaragua pays tribute to the founding year with a full-bodied Nicaraguan blend. Espada (blended by the Garcia family) adds even more range. From mild to full-bodied, Montecristo covers every preference.
