Every Montecristo Sublimes Limited Edition 2008 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 Sublimes Limited Edition 2008 belongs to the celebrated Edicion Limitada program from Habanos, the annual series reserved for unusual vitolas and specially aged tobaccos. Rolled at the prestigious H. Upmann factory in Havana, this Sublimes carries a dark, oily maduro wrapper that was matured for at least two years before the cigar reached the shelves. It is a generously proportioned smoke at 6.5 inches (164 mm) with a 54 ring gauge, and its scarcity has made it a long-standing favorite among collectors who chase Montecristo’s limited releases.
The first third opens with a velvety wave of roasted coffee, sweet cedar, and dark chocolate, threaded with a faint cocoa sweetness that softens the edges. Through the middle the cigar settles into its stride, bringing forward dried fruit, supple leather, and gentle baking spices that give the smoke real depth. The final third leans richer and a touch fuller, where nutty, espresso-like notes and a hint of cinnamon carry the experience to a satisfying close.
Because the tobaccos in this release were already given a couple of years of rest before rolling, the Sublimes smokes beautifully now, yet it also rewards patience. Kept at roughly 68 to 70 percent relative humidity and around 65 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit in a well seasoned humidor, the cigar will continue to round out, with the spice mellowing and the sweeter cedar and cocoa tones gaining prominence. Limited Edition stock is finite, so any box you set down to age is unlikely to be replaced.
This is a cigar for the smoker who appreciates a longer, contemplative session and the cachet of a genuine Edicion Limitada. The 54 ring gauge and medium body make it approachable for experienced palates without overwhelming, while the maturity of the blend will satisfy collectors who know what aged Cuban tobacco can offer. If you want a special-occasion Montecristo with provenance and presence, the Sublimes 2008 fits the bill.

Good cigar but expected a bit more for the price. The Montecristo Montecristo Sublimes Limited Edition 2008 delivered on flavor (wood and leather) and construction, but lacked the complexity I was hoping for. Solid smoke, just not outstanding. Still enjoyable.
This is hands down one of the best cigars I've smoked this year. The Montecristo Montecristo Sublimes Limited Edition 2008 exceeded all expectations. Rich, creamy smoke with complex notes of earth and nuts. Construction is perfect, ash holds firm. Worth every penny!
