The first third opens with the unmistakable Montecristo signature — bittersweet cocoa, roasted coffee bean and a thread of fresh cedar. Through the second third the smoke deepens into aged leather, toasted almond and that tangy, citrus-edged “Montecristo twang” the connoisseurs prize. The final third turns rich and creamy: dark chocolate, espresso crema and a gently peppered sweetness that twenty years of aging have rounded into pure elegance.

The story behind Vintage Cuban
Vintage Cuban is one of Cuba's most storied marcas — every cigar hand-rolled in Havana from sun-grown Vuelta Abajo leaf, aged and crafted by master torcedores under the official Habanos S.A. seal.
It's not just a cigar. It's an experience reserved for the true connoisseur.
Every Montecristo Double Corona Limited Edition 2001 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 Double Corona Limited Edition 2001 is a vintage Cuban cigar — a 7.6″ (194 mm) × 49 ring-gauge Double Corona from Habanos’ early Edición Limitada programme, now more than two decades into its cabinet age. Few releases in the marque’s history are so eagerly hunted by collectors, and one draw explains why: time has turned an already-great Habano into something rare and meditative.
Vitola: Double Corona (Prominente) · 7.6″ / 194 mm · 49 ring gauge · Strength: Medium–Full · Released: 2001.
Appearance & construction
The capa is a deep colorado-maduro wrapper — silken, faintly oily and dressed in the fine bloom that only a well-rested Cuban cigar develops. The roll is textbook Montecristo: a firm, even pack from foot to cap, a clean burn and an effortless draw that pours cool ribbons of blue smoke.
Flavour & tasting notes
The first third opens with the unmistakable Montecristo signature — bittersweet cocoa, roasted coffee bean and a thread of fresh cedar. Through the second third the smoke deepens into aged leather, toasted almond and that tangy, citrus-edged “Montecristo twang” the connoisseurs prize. The final third turns rich and creamy: dark chocolate, espresso crema and a gently peppered sweetness that twenty years of aging have rounded into pure elegance.
Why it’s special
This is a genuine collector’s Habano. The early Limited Editions were rolled with specially aged wrapper leaf, and two further decades in the humidor have mellowed every edge — a full-flavoured yet remarkably refined Cuban Double Corona made for an unhurried evening. Pair it with aged Cuban rum, a peated single malt or a short, strong espresso.

Excellent corona from Montecristo. The Montecristo Double Corona Limited Edition 2001 has a refined flavor profile – lots of almonds and honey. Draw was perfect and it burned for about 47 minutes. Only minor complaint is it’s slightly strong for my taste, but overall a great smoke.

The Montecristo Double Corona Limited Edition 2001 is a respectable corona. Nice notes of cedar and coffee, decent construction. However, I found it a bit one-dimensional compared to other Montecristo offerings. Not bad, but there are better options in this price range.
