Description

Habanos is presenting the Montecristo Línea 1935 as not only the most full-bodied Montecristo cigar, but also the “most premium.” It will probably be the most expensive, too, though retail prices around the world have yet to be established. The new 1935 brand joins the original Montecristo line, which is billed by Habanos as medium-full, and the Montecristo Open line marketed as medium bodied.

The Montecristo Línea 1935 comes in three sizes: Leyenda at 6 1/2 inches by 55 ring gauge (Maravillas No. 2 in factories); Maltés, measuring 6 by 53 (Sobresalientes in factories); and Dumas, 5 1/8 by 49 (or Prominente Corto in the factory).

 

75 reviews for Montecristo Linea 1935 Maltes

  1. David Williams –

    Investment-grade cigar that lives up to the premium positioning. The 1935 line represents Montecristo at their finest. Complex layers unfold gradually – cedar, cream, white pepper, with honey sweetness emerging in the final third. Construction is museum-quality. Worth the price for collectors and special occasions.

  2. Patricia Rodriguez –

    Remarkable complexity for the vitola size. These Montecristos deliver refined elegance rather than power. Creamy smoke with notes of almonds, vanilla, and subtle spice. Burns perfectly every time I’ve tried them.

  3. Charles Foster –

    Beautiful cigar with impeccable construction, but I question whether the flavor justifies the significant cost difference from standard Montecristo lines. It’s excellent, certainly, but is it three times better? For my palate, the premium feels excessive.

  4. Kevin Mitchell –

    Celebrated a major milestone with one of these and it felt appropriate. The Linea 1935 has a sophistication that regular production lacks. Smooth, creamy, with delicate complexity that rewards attention. Not an everyday smoke, but perfect when moments matter.

  5. Cheryl Chapman –

    These represent the pinnacle of modern Cuban craftsmanship. Every aspect is refined – wrapper selection, construction, flavor balance. The Maltes vitola provides about 70 minutes of contemplative smoking. Notes of cream, cedar, honey, and white pepper dance elegantly. Never harsh, never boring. These are thinking person’s cigars that reward patience and attention. Premium pricing reflects genuine quality.

  6. Douglas Wells –

    Had one with a slightly tight draw that required more effort than ideal. Flavor was excellent when I could get smoke – creamy and refined – but the draw issue detracted from full enjoyment.

  7. Carl Chapman –

    Exquisite balance defines these cigars. The 1935 blend showcases Montecristo DNA evolved to perfection. Creamy texture, elegant spice, honey sweetness. Flawless construction.

  8. Annie Griffin –

    Enjoyed this during a whiskey tasting and it held its own beautifully against aged scotch. The Linea 1935 has enough character to stand up to spirits without overpowering. Creamy with vanilla and almond notes that complemented the whiskey perfectly. Construction allowed for easy conversation while smoking. About an hour of refined pairing enjoyment. Premium cigar for premium spirits.

  9. Nancy Martin –

    Very good cigar, but the collector’s price puts it out of reach for regular rotation. I appreciate the quality, just wish it were more accessible financially.

  10. Eugene Simpson –

    These have become my benchmark for what refined Cuban cigars should taste like. Creamy, smooth, complex without being aggressive. The 1935 line is Montecristo mastery.

  11. Marie Reynolds –

    Smoked one to celebrate closing a major business deal and it was memorable. The Maltes delivers sophistication that matches success. Creamy smoke with layers of cedar, vanilla, white pepper, honey. Construction was boardroom-perfect. Burns for about 70 minutes, ideal for celebratory contemplation. These are achievement cigars that justify their premium through consistent excellence. Worth every dollar for important occasions.

  12. Janice Hart –

    Wrapper had some visible veins that seemed inconsistent with the premium positioning. Smoked well, tasted good, but aesthetically not as flawless as I expected at this price.

  13. Michelle Adams –

    Phenomenal depth and refinement. The 1935 showcases tobacco artistry. Creamy, elegant, with subtle complexity that reveals itself slowly. These are special occasion masterpieces.

  14. Elizabeth Taylor –

    Tried this during an anniversary dinner and it was the perfect conclusion. The Linea 1935 provides dessert-level indulgence through cigar form. Sweet honey and cream dominate with cedar and almond adding sophistication. Construction allowed effortless enjoyment. About an hour of romantic celebration. These are relationship milestone cigars. Premium quality for premium moments in life.

  15. Kimberly Roberts –

    Good cigar, no doubt, but I’ve had similarly excellent smokes at half the price. The Montecristo name carries weight, but I’m not convinced the tobacco justifies the premium over other aged cigars.

  16. Eric Turner –

    Brilliant execution of refined Cuban style. The Maltes size is perfect for evening enjoyment. Creamy texture with vanilla, honey, and cedar notes throughout.

  17. Brenda Gibson –

    Enjoyed one during a charity gala and it impressed other collectors at the table. The 1935 has conversation-starting pedigree backed by substance. Smooth, creamy, with elegant complexity – cedar, cream, subtle spice, honey finish. Construction was gala-worthy perfect. Burns for about 70 minutes, ideal for event duration. These are social status cigars that deliver on reputation. Worth the investment for image-conscious occasions.

  18. Ralph Morrison –

    Found the flavors a bit too subtle for my preference. I appreciate refinement, but I like my cigars to be more assertive. This one whispers when I prefer it to speak up.

  19. Ann Crawford –

    Exceptional quality from first light to final puff. The 1935 never falters – consistent flavor, perfect burn, elegant presentation. These are cigars for collectors who appreciate excellence.

  20. Amanda Phillips –

    Celebrated a significant birthday with one and it felt fitting. The Linea 1935 has gravitas that matches milestone moments. Creamy with honey sweetness and cedar depth. White pepper adds interest without domination. Construction was age-appropriate perfect. About an hour of birthday reflection. These are time-marker cigars for important years. Premium quality that honors occasions.

  21. Kenneth Brooks –

    Burn line was slightly wavy on mine, requiring rotation to keep even. Not terrible, but at premium prices I expect laser-straight burns without effort.

  22. Gary Wood –

    Love the refined character. The Maltes never overwhelms, always satisfies. Creamy smoke with honey and vanilla notes. These are contemplative cigars for quiet appreciation.

  23. Julia Holmes –

    Tried this during a golf club dinner and it was appropriate for the setting. The 1935 has country club sophistication. Smooth, refined, with enough complexity to discuss but not so much it dominates conversation. Creamy with vanilla, cedar, honey. Burns for about an hour. Construction was dinner-jacket perfect. These are establishment cigars for traditional occasions. Premium quality for classic settings.

  24. Linda Davis –

    Very nice cigar that I enjoyed, but the price creates expectations it doesn’t quite meet. It’s excellent, truly, just not transcendent enough to warrant the significant premium over other aged options.

  25. Norma Palmer –

    Consistently outstanding. Every Linea 1935 I’ve smoked has been flawless. Creamy, complex, beautifully made. These justify their collector status through reliable excellence.

  26. Kathleen Cooper –

    Enjoyed one during a yacht club event and it matched the refined atmosphere perfectly. The Maltes delivers luxury appropriate to luxury settings. Cream, vanilla, honey, cedar – all balanced elegantly. Construction was yacht-worthy. Burns for about 70 minutes, perfect for docked socializing. These are maritime aristocracy cigars. Premium for premium environments.

  27. Sandra Young –

    Wrapper felt a bit dry despite proper storage. Smoked okay but didn’t have the oily, pristine feel I associate with top-tier cigars. Minor complaint but noticeable.

  28. Peter Hayes –

    Exquisite in every dimension. The 1935 represents Cuban cigar evolution at its finest. Refined flavors, perfect construction, elegant presentation. Worth the investment.

  29. Rebecca Cook –

    Celebrated a wedding anniversary with one and my partner even appreciated the aroma. The Linea 1935 has non-smoker-friendly elegance. Sweet honey and vanilla dominate with cream and cedar. Construction allowed relaxed enjoyment. About an hour of couple’s time. These are relationship cigars that don’t alienate partners. Premium quality with social awareness.

  30. Frank Reed –

    Good smoke, but I’d take a well-aged regular Montecristo No. 2 over this at the price difference. Similar flavor profile without the collector premium. Personal preference, perhaps.

  31. Susan Richardson –

    These are what I reach for when celebrating genuine accomplishments. The Maltes has earned status that matches achievement. Creamy, refined, sophisticated.

  32. Anthony Harris –

    Tried this during a cigar club meeting and it sparked excellent discussion. The 1935 gives connoisseurs something to analyze – subtle spice layers, honey development, cream consistency, cedar backbone. Construction supported extended conversation smoking. About an hour of analytical enjoyment. These are club-worthy cigars for serious discussion. Premium quality that rewards attention and expertise.

  33. Sharon Scott –

    Draw was perfect but flavor seemed muted compared to reviews I’d read. Maybe I got a young box or my palate was off, but I expected more intensity of flavor.

  34. Dennis Wallace –

    Brilliant balance defines these cigars. Never too strong, never too mild. The 1935 finds the sweet spot of refined complexity. Creamy, elegant, satisfying.

  35. Mildred Pierce –

    Enjoyed one during a museum fundraiser and it suited the cultural setting. The Linea 1935 has artistic sophistication. Smooth with vanilla and honey notes suggesting cultivated taste. Burns for about 70 minutes, gallery-walk duration. Construction was patron-worthy. These are cultural event cigars for refined occasions. Premium quality for civilized celebrations.

  36. Robert Martinez –

    Ash fell off earlier than expected multiple times. Minor annoyance but noticeable. Flavor was good – creamy and refined – but ash performance wasn’t premium-grade.

  37. Rose Martinez –

    Perfect execution of refined Cuban tradition. The Maltes showcases what Montecristo does best – elegant, creamy, complex without aggression. These are masterclass cigars.

  38. Raymond Morgan –

    Celebrated a book publication with one and it was appropriate for intellectual achievement. The 1935 has cerebral sophistication. Creamy with cedar and honey that invite contemplation rather than simple enjoyment. Construction supported thoughtful smoking. About an hour of authorial reflection. These are creative milestone cigars. Premium quality for artistic accomplishments.

  39. Harold Wells –

    Well-made cigar with good flavor, but nothing about it screamed ‘special release’ to me. It’s a Montecristo, certainly a good one, but not notably different from aged regular production.

  40. Nicholas Allen –

    Love the creamy texture. The 1935 coats the palate beautifully. Vanilla and honey notes make these almost dessert-like. Refined complexity throughout.

  41. Scott Henderson –

    Tried this during a private library event and the pairing with old books was poetic. The Maltes has literary sophistication – refined, layered, requiring attention. Cream and cedar with honey sweetness. Burns quietly for about 70 minutes. Construction was bibliophile-perfect. These are intellectual cigars for scholarly occasions. Premium quality for thinking environments.

  42. Richard Howard –

    Wrapper had a small crack that worsened during smoking. Held together enough to finish but aesthetics were compromised. Quality control should catch this at premium price points.

  43. Willie Ford –

    Consistently excellent across every sample. The Linea 1935 delivers refined quality reliably. These are investment cigars that appreciate in both senses – value and enjoyment.

  44. Tyler Hill –

    Enjoyed one during a symphony intermission and it harmonized with the cultured setting. The 1935 has musical sophistication – notes playing together elegantly. Cream, vanilla, cedar, honey in perfect arrangement. Construction was concert-hall worthy. About an hour total. These are classical music cigars for refined audiences. Premium quality for artistic evenings.

  45. Daniel Moore –

    Good cigar but the collector mystique feels manufactured. It’s well-made, tastes good, but doesn’t feel genuinely special compared to other aged options. Marketing over substance, perhaps.

  46. Helen Bennett –

    Phenomenal refinement. The Maltes never shouts, always whispers elegantly. Creamy smoke with sophisticated complexity. These are connoisseur cigars for educated palates.

  47. Margaret Butler –

    Celebrated a career milestone with one and it felt earned. The Linea 1935 has professional gravitas. Smooth with vanilla and cedar suggesting maturity and accomplishment. Honey sweetness adds celebration. Construction was promotion-worthy. About 70 minutes of success contemplation. These are career cigars for people who’ve arrived. Premium quality for professional milestones.

  48. Laura Bell –

    Found it a bit too mild for evening smoking. I prefer something with more body after dinner. This works better as afternoon cigar, but I rarely have time for cigars before evening.

  49. Jacqueline Porter –

    Brilliant showcase of Cuban refinement. The 1935 demonstrates what proper aging and selection can achieve. Creamy, complex, elegant. Worth the premium for quality.

  50. Frances Hunt –

    Tried this during a wine country visit and it paired unexpectedly well with aged Chardonnay. The Maltes has enough delicacy to not overpower wine. Cream and vanilla notes complement oak-aged whites. Burns for about an hour, perfect for vineyard contemplation. Construction was sommelier-approved. These are wine-country cigars for sophisticated pairing. Premium quality for oenophiles.

  51. Albert Fisher –

    Burn required touch-ups twice during the smoke. Not terrible but not what I expect at this price level. Flavor was good – creamy and refined – but construction wasn’t flawless.

  52. Jean Stone –

    Love these for special dinners. The Linea 1935 has after-dinner sophistication. Creamy with honey sweetness that works as dessert replacement. Refined complexity throughout.

  53. Carolyn Jenkins –

    Enjoyed one during a rooftop bar session and it matched the upscale setting. The 1935 has penthouse sophistication. Smooth with vanilla and cream suggesting luxury. Cedar and honey add depth. Construction was skyline-worthy. About 70 minutes of elevated enjoyment. These are rooftop cigars for high-end venues. Premium quality for premium locations.

  54. Diane Ross –

    Very nice smoke that I appreciated, but not different enough from regular aged Montecristos to warrant the significant upcharge in my view. Quality yes, but exceptional value no.

  55. Karen Lee –

    Perfect balance defines these cigars. The Maltes never goes too far in any direction. Creamy, refined, with subtle complexity. These are balanced excellence.

  56. Arthur Knight –

    Celebrated a graduation with one and it felt like commencement-worthy achievement. The Linea 1935 has academic sophistication. Refined with cream and honey suggesting learned elegance. Cedar adds maturity. Construction was diploma-perfect. About an hour of graduate reflection. These are education milestone cigars. Premium quality for scholarly achievements.

  57. William Garcia –

    Wrapper felt rough in spots, not the silky smooth texture I associate with top-shelf cigars. Smoked okay but tactile experience wasn’t premium.

  58. Jonathan Baker –

    Exceptional quality in every way. The 1935 represents Montecristo at peak performance. Creamy, elegant, beautifully constructed. These are collector-grade excellence.

  59. Christine Hayes –

    Tried this during a jazz club evening and it swung with the music. The Maltes has improvisational sophistication – familiar themes with elegant variations. Cream and vanilla as base, cedar and honey as riffs. Construction was bebop-smooth. About an hour of musical pairing. These are jazz cigars for cool appreciation. Premium quality for hip settings.

  60. Philip Mason –

    Draw started tight and never really opened up the way I’d hoped. Had to work for every puff, which diminished the relaxation aspect. Flavor was good when accessible.

  61. Betty Lewis –

    Brilliant refinement throughout. The Linea 1935 showcases delicate complexity. Creamy, sweet, sophisticated. These are thinking cigars for contemplative moments.

  62. Dorothy Hughes –

    Enjoyed one during a lake house weekend and it suited the relaxed elegance perfectly. The 1935 has vacation home sophistication. Smooth with honey and vanilla suggesting leisure and refinement. Cream and cedar add substance. Construction was lakeside-perfect. About 70 minutes of waterfront contemplation. These are retreat cigars for refined escapes. Premium quality for upscale relaxation.

  63. Shirley Neal –

    Good cigar that I’d smoke again, but wouldn’t seek out at current prices. There are equally enjoyable options at more reasonable cost. Quality yes, but value proposition questionable.

  64. Catherine Murray –

    Love the honey sweetness. The Maltes develops beautiful sweet notes in final third. Creamy throughout with elegant spice. These are dessert cigars in best sense.

  65. Lisa Walker –

    Celebrated a new home purchase with one and it christened the house appropriately. The Linea 1935 has homeowner sophistication. Refined with cream and cedar suggesting establishment and arrival. Honey sweetness adds celebration. Construction was housewarming-worthy. About an hour of new-home contemplation. These are property milestone cigars. Premium quality for real estate achievements.

  66. George Collins –

    Ash fell off suddenly and messily. Minor issue but annoying. Flavor was refined – cream and vanilla – but ash performance wasn’t what I’d expect at this level.

  67. Roger Webb –

    Consistently outstanding. Every 1935 I’ve tried has been excellent. Creamy, refined, beautifully made. These are reliable premium investments.

  68. Paul Price –

    Tried this during a country club brunch and it paired wonderfully with champagne. The Maltes has brunch sophistication. Light enough for morning, refined enough for celebration. Cream and honey dominate. Construction was mimosa-worthy. About an hour of leisurely enjoyment. These are brunch cigars for upscale mornings. Premium quality for sophisticated starts.

  69. Joe Fisher –

    Fine smoke, nothing wrong with it, but nothing extraordinary either. It’s a well-made Montecristo. Whether that justifies the premium depends on your budget and priorities.

  70. Maria Patterson –

    Perfect for contemplative afternoon smoking. The 1935 has intellectual depth. Creamy with subtle spice and honey development. These are philosopher cigars.

  71. Evelyn Russell –

    Enjoyed one during a sailing trip and it complemented the refined sport perfectly. The Linea 1935 has nautical sophistication. Smooth with vanilla and cream suggesting yachting elegance. Cedar and honey add maritime character. Construction was regatta-ready. About 70 minutes of sailing contemplation. These are sailor cigars for refined vessels. Premium quality for maritime leisure.

  72. Michael Anderson –

    Wrapper had visible seams that seemed unrefined for a special release. Smoked well, tasted good, but aesthetically it didn’t scream premium to me.

  73. Karen Lee –

    Exceptional refinement defines these cigars. The Maltes never falters in elegance. Creamy, sophisticated, with honey sweetness. These are special occasion masterpieces.

  74. Pamela Ward –

    Celebrated a patent approval with one and it felt fitting for intellectual property achievement. The 1935 has inventor sophistication. Complex with cream and cedar suggesting innovation. Honey adds success sweetness. Construction was patent-worthy. About an hour of creative reflection. These are innovation cigars. Premium quality for inventive milestones.

  75. Robert Martinez –

    Good cigar, but I’ve had off-the-shelf aged Montecristos that impressed me similarly at fraction of cost. The special release premium seems more about scarcity than superior quality.

  76. Brian Parker –

    Brilliant execution of refined style. The Linea 1935 showcases Cuban elegance. Creamy, sweet, sophisticated without pretension. Worth the collector status.

  77. Matthew Jackson –

    Tried this during a piano recital reception and it harmonized with classical setting. The Maltes has conservatory sophistication. Refined notes – cream, vanilla, honey, cedar – playing together elegantly. Construction was recital-hall perfect. About an hour of musical appreciation. These are classical cigars for artistic audiences. Premium quality for cultured events.

  78. Lisa Walker –

    Burn line was uneven throughout, requiring constant rotation. Flavor was good – creamy and refined – but the construction demanded too much attention to fully relax.

  79. Barbara Thomas –

    Love these for milestone celebrations. The 1935 has gravitas appropriate to important moments. Creamy, elegant, with honey sweetness. These are occasion cigars.

  80. Beverly Mason –

    Enjoyed one during a theater opening night and it suited the premiere atmosphere. The Linea 1935 has Broadway sophistication. Smooth with cream and vanilla suggesting opening night elegance. Honey and cedar add dramatic depth. Construction was curtain-call worthy. About 70 minutes of theatrical enjoyment. These are premiere cigars. Premium quality for opening nights.

  81. Jessica White –

    Decent smoke that I appreciated, but the premium pricing puts it in competition with truly exceptional cigars. In that context, it’s good but not best-in-class.

  82. Joshua Clark –

    Perfect refinement throughout. The Maltes delivers elegant complexity from first puff to last. Creamy, sophisticated, beautifully balanced. These are connoisseur cigars.
