Montecristo fans have long dreamed of larger format cigars, and with the announcement of the Double Edmundo in 2013, those dreams became a reality.
The Montecristo Double Edmundo delivers more of the signature Montecristo body and taste than any Montecristo cigars that have come before.
Montecristo Double Edmundo Overview
With the exceptions of the pyramid shape Montecristo No. 2 and lengthy Montecristo “A”, really big cigars were mostly absent from the regular Montecristo lineup. The Robusto-size Edmundo was launched in 2004 to satisfy the demand for larger ring gauge cigars. The Petite Edmundo followed, paving the way for the longer 6.1” x 50 Double Edmundo.
Cuba’s Vuelta Abajo region of the Pinar del Rio province provides the tobacco for Montecristo Double Edmundo. The larger size means the richness and complexity of the tobaccos have more time to evolve during the smoke, making for an experience that offers more body, more taste, and just more of everything. It’s intense and not for beginners, but that’s part of the appeal to many.
Smoking a Montecristo Double Edmundo
The Double Edmundo’s savory tobacco blend and larger size combine for a highly entertaining sensory escape. The complex cigar body and taste unveil secrets throughout a smoke best enjoyed without time constraints.
Appearance
The Double Edmundo is a handsome cigar covered in a dark and leathery Colorado wrapper leaf with Cuba’s famous triple cap.
Initial Impressions
The cigar’s appealing look matches the tobacco’s aromas and cold draw notes of coffee, oatmeal, chocolate, earth, and cedar
Aroma
During and after the cigar lighting process, the cigar’s initial aroma intensifies and is joined by scents of nuts, mocha, and honey, transported by thick plumes of smoke.
Body and Taste
An easy-going medium-bodied start gradually builds towards medium-full with flavors of hazelnut coffee, toasted oak, cocoa bean, pepper, leather, spice, and blackberry. A steady earthiness keeps the smoke balanced and lively throughout the experience.
Finish
The Double Edmundo’s body and taste continue to grow as it nears the end. This is a cigar you want to smoke right to the end, a journey of well over an hour. The finish is bursting with the full spectrum of flavors, a complex and satisfying finale.
The Montecristo Double Edmundo smokes unlike any other Montecristo and is ideal for the sophisticated aficionado with an affinity for large-format Cuban cigars.
Cigar Value
