Why Choose Montecristo Supremos Edición Limitada 2019?
A Historic First for Montecristo
The Supremos represents a groundbreaking moment in Montecristo history: the first time this legendary brand has ever produced a cigar with a 55 ring gauge. This substantial format—known as the Montesco vitola in Cuban cigar terminology—allows for maximum tobacco volume, creating a richer, more complex smoking experience while maintaining the refined character that has made Montecristo the world’s most recognized Cuban cigar brand.
The Montesco Vitola:
- Debuted in 2010 with Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill
- Proven popular across multiple Cuban brands
- Perfect balance between size and smoking time
- Substantial format without excessive length
- Impressive presentation and visual impact
The Edición Limitada Excellence
Since 2000, Habanos S.A.’s Edición Limitada (Limited Edition) series has represented the pinnacle of Cuban cigar production. Each year, only three brands (typically) are selected to receive this prestigious designation, and the Montecristo Supremos 2019 earned its place among them.
What Makes Edición Limitada Special:
✓ Non-regular production vitolas – Unique sizes not available in standard lineups
✓ Minimum 2 extra years of aging – Tobacco receives extended maturation for optimal flavor
✓ Premium tobacco selection – Only exceptional harvests qualify for EL designation
✓ Colorado to Colorado-Maduro wrappers – Darker, richer leaf selections
✓ Limited production quantities – Undisclosed numbers creating collectibility
✓ Distinctive secondary band – Gold with black “Edición Limitada 2019” text
✓ Luxury presentation – Special boxes beyond standard production
Previous Montecristo Limited Editions:
- Montecristo 520 (2012)
- Montecristo Dantes (2016)
- Montecristo Supremos (2019) – Continuing the tradition of excellence
Construction and Appearance: Darker, Richer, Exceptional
Visual Distinction
The Montecristo Supremos immediately announces its Limited Edition pedigree through its striking appearance:

- Consistent coloration from head to foot
- Oily sheen indicating premium fermentation and aging
- Smooth surface with minimal veining
- Rich brown tones with subtle variations
- Dark chocolate appearance that promises depth
Construction Excellence:
- Firm to the touch with perfect spring when pressed
- No hard spots or knots – impeccable rolling
- Triple cap expertly applied for clean cutting
- Generous 55 ring gauge providing substantial presence
- Near-perfect cylindrical shape throughout
- Well-packed density ensuring optimal draw and burn
Distinctive Banding
The Supremos features the prestigious dual-band system that marks all Edición Limitada releases:
Primary Band: Large Montecristo Band D – The iconic design featuring the fleur-de-lis triangle logo, sword emblem, and ornate scrollwork that has defined Montecristo since its inception.
Secondary Band: Gold paper with black text reading “Edición Limitada 2019” – The coveted mark of Limited Edition status that instantly identifies this as a special release from Habanos S.A.
Revolutionary Packaging
Breaking with Montecristo tradition, the Supremos arrives in stunning yellow varnished boxes – a departure from the standard wooden presentation that signals the brand’s evolution toward a bright future. The luxury boîte nature box of 25 cigars represents a new aesthetic direction while maintaining the prestige expected from Limited Edition releases.
Flavor Profile: Rich, Complex, Sophisticated
Pre-Light Experience
Visual Inspection: Admire the darker Colorado-Maduro wrapper that promises richness beyond standard Montecristo offerings.
Cold Draw Aromas:
- Leather and honey combination
- Classic Cuban twang
- Tangerine and citrus brightness
- Sweet chocolate notes
- Tart undertones
- Horseradish intensity (in some examples)
- Bubblegum sweetness
- Soft lemonade
- Touch of barbecue
Draw Resistance: Generous 55 ring gauge provides perfect resistance with easy draw – just the right amount of pull for optimal smoke production.
Expert Note: Some reviewers describe the cold draw as one of the most intense and enjoyable of any non-flavored Cuban cigar, with exceptional complexity before lighting.
First Third – Spiced Introduction
The Supremos opens with immediate impact and sophistication:
Opening Flavors:
- Generous spice that awakens the palate
- Deep woodiness transitioning from oak to cedar
- Salted sunflower seeds providing nuttiness
- Sweet chocolate emerging at the end of draws
- Bottled water clarity (clean, pure flavor profile)
- Leather notes developing quickly
Texture Evolution:
The first inch delivers a hearty, substantial texture that demonstrates the Supremos’ full-bodied character from the start.
Characteristics:
- Strength: Medium to Medium-Full (2.5-3/5)
- Body: Full from the opening
- Smoke Output: Thick plumes of blue smoke
- Texture: Rich and substantial
- Aroma: Pleasant fragrance, never pungent or ammoniac

Retrohale Profile:
Even from the start, retrohales reveal the cigar’s complexity with generic earth, salt water, and the distinctive Cuban twang that marks authentic Habanos.
Second Third – Chocolate & Coffee Symphony
As the Supremos progresses, it develops into the classic Montecristo profile amplified by the additional aging:
Dominant Flavors:
- Dark chocolate taking center stage – rich and decadent
- Freshly roasted coffee adding depth and sophistication
- Cocoa enhancing the chocolate notes
- Earth and nuts providing foundation
- Cedar continuing from first third
- Leather becoming more pronounced
- Hints of citrus (orange, tangerine) brightening the profile
- Spice maintaining presence throughout
Flavor Development:
The profile gets “muddier” in a positive way – flavors integrate and layer rather than remain separate, creating depth and complexity. Woodiness remains detailed and prominent while nuttiness emerges strongly.
Characteristics:
- Strength: Medium-Full (3-3.5/5)
- Body: Full and satisfying
- Complexity: Building significantly
- Finish: Deep combination of wood and nuts with added toastiness
- Pepper: Black pepper appears in the finish
Retrohale Experience:
Sweeter, stronger, and more satisfying than the palate alone. Melon sweetness combines with main flavors. Some detect Thousand Island dressing or In-N-Out special sauce character – a unique savory-sweet combination.
Final Third – Rich Conclusion
The Supremos finishes strong, delivering satisfaction until the final inch:
Finishing Flavors:
- Vanilla bean making a strong appearance
- Molasses adding deep sweetness
- Cinnamon and baking spices creating warmth
- Cream providing smooth texture
- Lavender on the back end (subtle floral touch)
- Straw and peanut (in some examples)
- Increased acidity adding vibrancy
- Toasted tobacco from extended aging
- Wood and pepper dominating the finish
Evolution:
The sweetness and spice balance shifts, with spices taking a more prominent role. The profile dries slightly but maintains richness and satisfaction.
Characteristics:
- Strength: Medium-Full to Full (3.5-4/5)
- Body: Full throughout
- Finish: Long, complex, slightly drier but satisfying
- Final inch: Best to stop with 1-1.5 inches remaining
Retrohale Finale:
The retrohale continues to be woody and spicy with the distinctive Cuban twang that lingers pleasantly.

Primary Flavor Notes:
Dark chocolate, roasted coffee, cocoa, leather, earth, nuts (salted sunflower seeds, peanuts), cedar, spice
Secondary Notes:
Vanilla bean, molasses, cinnamon, citrus (tangerine, orange), honey, cream, lavender, toasted tobacco, straw
Distinctive Characteristics:

Tasting Comparison: Reviewers describe the flavor as “brownie-like” at its peak, delivering the richness of the best Double Edmundos with even greater depth.
The Montecristo Legacy
World’s Most Famous Cigar Brand
Montecristo stands as the most recognized and sought-after Cuban cigar brand worldwide. Since its establishment, Montecristo has been synonymous with:
✓ Refined elegance without excessive strength
✓ Consistent quality across all vitolas
✓ Medium-full body perfectly balanced
✓ Complex flavor profiles accessible to all experience levels
✓ Impeccable construction from master torcedores
The Supremos continues this legacy while pushing boundaries with its substantial 55 ring gauge format.
Aging Potential: Even Better With Time
Fresh vs. Aged Performance
The Montecristo Supremos demonstrates the crucial importance of proper aging for Cuban cigars:
Fresh (0-12 months):

- Construction issues resolve
- Chocolate and coffee notes deepen
- Draw becomes more consistent
Medium Age (3-5 years):
- Optimal smoking window – Peak performance
- Exceptional flavor complexity emerges
- “Brownie-like” deep richness develops
- Construction perfection achieved
- Scores jump dramatically (73 to 88+ ratings)
Extended Aging (5+ years):
- Continued development of sophistication

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes the Supremos different from other Montecristo cigars?
A: The Supremos features the largest ring gauge (55) ever used for a Montecristo cigar, making it a historic first for the brand. It also benefits from minimum 2 extra years of tobacco aging as an Edición Limitada release, delivering richer chocolate and coffee flavors than standard production.
Q: How long should I age these cigars before smoking?
A: While smokeable fresh, the Supremos truly shines after 3-5 years of proper humidor aging. Professional reviews show dramatic score improvements (73 to 88+) after aging. For optimal experience, wait at least 1-2 years, ideally 3-5 years.
Q: What strength is this cigar?
A: Medium-full to full body. It starts medium to medium-full in the first third and builds to full by the final third. Not recommended for beginners but perfect for experienced aficionados.
Q: How long does it take to smoke?
A: Approximately 60-90 minutes depending on your pace. The substantial 55 ring gauge and 130mm length provide extended enjoyment—perfect for evening relaxation or special celebrations.
Q: Is this suitable for beginners?
A: No. The medium-full to full strength, complex flavor profile, and 60-90 minute smoking time make this better suited for experienced cigar smokers. Beginners should start with lighter Montecristo vitolas like the No. 4 or Petit Edmundo.
Q: What’s the best beverage pairing?
A: The Supremos pairs excellently with rich coffee (espresso, cappuccino), aged rum (Cuban añejo), bourbon, single malt Scotch, XO Cognac, or vintage Port. The chocolate and coffee notes complement these beverages beautifully.
Q: How do I verify authenticity?
A: Check for: (1) Habanos authentication code on box (verify at check.habanos.com), (2) Dual banding with proper Montecristo Band D + gold Edición Limitada 2019 band, (3) Holographic warranty seal, (4) Luxury yellow varnished box unique to this release, (5) Purchase from authorized retailers like CubanCigarOnline.com.
Q: Are Limited Editions worth the investment?
A: Yes, for collectors and serious aficionados. Limited Editions feature extra-aged tobacco, unique vitolas, and limited production, making them both exceptional to smoke and valuable to collect. Montecristo Limited Editions historically appreciate in value.
Q: What’s the difference between this and the Montecristo Dantes Limited Edition 2016?
A: The Supremos has a thicker ring gauge (55 vs. 54) and fuller body. Both are exceptional Limited Editions, but Supremos offers more chocolate/coffee dominance and represents Montecristo’s evolution toward bolder profiles.
Q: Can I buy singles or only full boxes?
A: Limited Editions typically come in full boxes of 25 cigars due to their collectible nature. Contact us for availability—we occasionally offer samplers or smaller quantities.
Q: How should I store these long-term?
A: Maintain 65-68% humidity and 65-70°F temperature. Keep in original yellow varnished box when possible. For extended aging (5-10+ years), consider slightly lower humidity (63-65%) and completely stable conditions.

Incredible cigar! The Montecristo Supremos from Montecristo is absolutely exceptional. Smooth, complex, and beautifully balanced. Got wonderful notes of cocoa and cream throughout the smoke. Lasted about 70 minutes. Already ordering another box!

Decent cigar but not my favorite from Montecristo. The Montecristo Supremos has good flavor – earth and nuts – but didn’t wow me like other Cubans I’ve had. Construction was fine, burn was mostly even. It’s good, just not exceptional. Worth trying though.

Excellent cigar from Montecristo. The Montecristo Supremos has a refined flavor profile – lots of earth and nuts. Draw was perfect and it burned for about 62 minutes. Only minor complaint is it’s slightly strong for my taste, but overall a great smoke.
