The construction of this cigar leaves little to be desired, as each vitola offers a streamlined and satisfying smoking experience. The packaging is both clever and unique, as the 10-count boxes are made to resemble the famous Count of Montecristo novel by Alexandre Dumas. The vitolas are luxuriously dressed in silver and black bands covering nearly the entire body. The recipe includes Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers, a Nicaraguan binder, and a golden Ecuadorian Habano wrapper leaf. The blend was put together by Altadis USA’s Grupo de Maestros and is produced in Honduras at the Flor de Copan factory. Named after a chapter in the Count of Monte Cristo which tells of events that occurred 100 days after Napoleon Bonaparte’s escape from the Isle of Elba, this special edition takes the “100 days” theme even further, as the cigars are aged in aromatic cedar bins for 100 days after rolling. Plenty of new, trendy cigar lines have come out bearing the Montecristo logo in recent years, and Montecristo Volume 1: 100 Days Toro is among the newer releases from Altadis USA.
