Privada Storytelling
The Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Nicaragua Toro was created to honor the brand’s historic founding year. With the blending genius of AJ Fernandez, this Nicaraguan puro reinvents Montecristo through a bold, modern lens while paying tribute to nearly a century of heritage.
The Toro vitola delivers the perfect balance of strength and refinement, showcasing tobaccos from all four of Nicaragua’s great growing regions. Estelí’s raw power, Jalapa’s sweetness, Condega’s balance, and Ometepe’s volcanic depth converge in a cigar that proves Montecristo’s legend is not only alive but thriving in the modern era.
Flavor Journey
The first third opens with espresso and pepper layered over cocoa and cedar. As the cigar develops, leather and earth join a molasses sweetness that rounds the profile. Midway, baking spice and chocolate intensify, accented by the mineral richness of Ometepe leaf. The final third crescendos with espresso, dark chocolate, and spice, leaving a long and resonant finish.
