Montecristo Nicaragua No. 2

Introduced in summer 2018 as Montecristo's first core-line collaboration with AJ Fernandez, rolled at his Nicaraguan factory as an all-Nicaraguan puro — a marked departure from the brand's usual mild-to-medium Dominican style. The 1935 Anniversary variant, released for the brand's 85th birthday in 2020, scored 95 points and #2 Cigar of the Year for its No. 2 vitola. Chocolate, honey, cream, coffee, leather, and graham cracker.
