Montecristo Línea 1935 Leyenda

Grandeur, Power, and Complexity in a Legendary Format

The Montecristo Línea 1935 Leyenda represents the pinnacle of strength, elegance, and craftsmanship in the Montecristo brand. Introduced in 2017, this vitola is part of the Línea 1935 series, which commemorates the founding year of Montecristo and marks a bold departure from its typically medium-bodied character.

The Leyenda, as its name implies, is a “legend”—both in its impressive size and its rich, full-bodied flavor. This cigar is the largest and most complex in the Línea 1935 line, offering a luxurious and immersive smoking experience.
