Every Montecristo No. 2 Limited Edition 70th Aniversario is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
Few cigars carry the weight of legacy that the Montecristo No. 2 does. The brand was born in Havana in 1935, founded by Alonso Menendez and named after the Alexandre Dumas novel that torcedores loved hearing read aloud on the rolling floor. To mark seventy years of the marca, Habanos presented this commemorative release not in the usual dress box but inside a collectible ceramic jar, pairing the iconic Piramides format with a presentation worthy of the anniversary. It is a piece aimed squarely at collectors who prize provenance and display as much as the smoke itself.
The centerpiece of this release is the glazed ceramic jar, finished in Montecristo’s house livery and topped with a sealing lid that keeps the cigars in condition. The jar holds twenty five Montecristo No. 2 Piramides and doubles as a handsome tabletop humidor once the cigars are enjoyed. Empty jars from these anniversary editions have become sought after on the collector market, which is part of the appeal: you are buying both the Habanos and a lasting keepsake.
The first third opens with smooth cedar and a gentle creaminess, setting a polished and balanced tone. Through the middle the smoke builds toward roasted almond and the tangy wood note that has long been a Montecristo signature, joined by hints of leather and sweet baking spice such as cinnamon and nutmeg. The final third leans a touch earthier, with oak and a soft spice on the finish that stays civilized rather than aggressive. It reads as a medium bodied smoke from start to band, flavorful enough to reward an experienced palate without overwhelming a more occasional smoker.
Cuban tobacco of this caliber rewards patience. Whether you keep the cigars in the ceramic jar or move them to a seasoned humidor, hold them around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and roughly 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. The tapered torpedo head and dense filler mean the blend settles and integrates beautifully over months and years, with the spice softening and the sweeter notes coming forward. Let any newly arrived cigars rest for a few weeks before lighting one.
This release suits the collector and the connoisseur alike. If you already love the standard No. 2 and want a special edition with anniversary significance and a keepsake jar, it is a natural pick. It also makes a memorable gift, and the ceramic jar gives it a presence on the shelf that a standard box cannot match.

Excellent cigar from Montecristo. The Montecristo No. 2 Limited Edition 70th Aniversario has a refined flavor profile - lots of cocoa and cream. Draw was perfect and it burned for about 56 minutes. Only minor complaint is it's slightly strong for my taste, but overall a great smoke.
Good cigar but expected a bit more for the price. The Montecristo Montecristo No. 2 Limited Edition 70th Aniversario delivered on flavor (earth and nuts) and construction, but lacked the complexity I was hoping for. Solid smoke, just not outstanding. Still enjoyable.
