Montecristo is the best known and probably most appreciated brand of Habanos throughout the world. The No. 3 is the brand's corona, one of the five original sizes from 1935 and still one of the most honest ways to taste what Montecristo is about: no large ring gauge, no special edition, just the blend.

Tasting Notes
Smoking Time (Average): 45 Minutes
Medium bodied and finely balanced, built on filler and binder from the Vuelta Abajo. Cedar and roasted coffee lead, with cocoa and a light earthiness behind, and the tangy citrus note that runs through the Montecristo blend. The slim corona format keeps everything focused and the burn even.

Cuba
Occasion & Pairing
Pairs well with Speyside and some Lowland whiskies, most Irish whiskeys, rums, bourbons, ryes, ports, or a variety of fuller bodied beers. Also pairs well with very aromatic wine or Chianti and Cabernet Sauvignon.
