Every Montecristo Doble Edmundo is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
The Montecristo Doble Edmundo arrived in 2013 as the first addition to the brand’s core portfolio since the Petit Edmundo back in 2006, and it instantly became a fixture in serious humidors. It belongs to the celebrated Edmundo family, a line named for Edmond Dantes, the hero of Alexandre Dumas’ novel The Count of Monte Cristo, which lends the entire Montecristo marque its identity. Blended from long filler grown in the Vuelta Abajo region of Pinar del Rio, this thick Dobles format carries the unmistakable Montecristo signature in a generous size that gives the tobacco room to breathe.
The opening third settles in with creamy cedar, gentle nuttiness, and a faint sweetness reminiscent of dried fruit, all wrapped in smooth, well-balanced smoke. By the middle the cigar deepens noticeably, pushing forward cocoa and roasted coffee with an earthy backbone and a touch of leather underneath. The final third is where the Doble Edmundo earns its medium to full reputation, building toward darker chocolate, oak, and a hint of pepper that keeps the long finish lively without ever turning harsh.
Like most full-bodied Montecristos, the Doble Edmundo rewards patience. Kept in a well-seasoned humidor held around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and roughly 18 degrees Celsius, the cigar smooths out over a couple of years as the cedar and cocoa marry and any youthful sharpness fades. The thick 50 ring gauge holds a fair volume of filler, so give freshly arrived boxes a few weeks of rest before lighting the first one.
This is a cigar for the smoker who wants depth and a relaxed, unhurried session rather than a quick break. Newcomers may find the medium to full intensity of the final third demanding, so it suits those who already enjoy richer Cuban blends and have an hour to dedicate. Veteran Montecristo fans looking beyond the classic No. 2 will recognize the family DNA here, served in a fuller, more contemporary format.
Is the Montecristo Doble Edmundo a strong cigar?
It sits in the medium to full range. The first half stays approachable and creamy, while the body builds through the final third toward darker chocolate and pepper, making it satisfying without crossing into overpowering territory.
How long does it take to smoke?
At 6.1 inches with a 50 ring gauge, expect roughly an hour to ninety minutes at a slow, steady pace, which is part of why it is best enjoyed after a meal with time to spare.
How is it different from the Montecristo Edmundo?
The Doble Edmundo is the larger, thicker member of the Edmundo line. The extra length and the wide 50 ring gauge let the Vuelta Abajo tobacco develop more slowly, giving a fuller, more evolved smoke than its shorter siblings.
