Montecristo is the best known and probably most appreciated brand of Habanos throughout the world. The name comes from the hero of Alexandre Dumas' novel The Count of Monte Cristo, a favourite of the Lector who read aloud to the torcedores at the factory where the brand was founded in 1935. The Media Corona is one of the shortest vitolas in the range, made for a quick but complete smoke.
