- Taste: intense tobacco, at first somewhat dry, bitter and spicy, but quickly becomes woody, dry and sweet. Feeling very pleasant, very creamy in the mouth. Towards the end the bitterness reappears, but very well accompanied by an intense sweetness.
- Strength: excellent that goes from medium-strong to strong.
- Layer: natural Carmelite color with red touches, very thin, not very venous, bright and oily.
- Shot: great shot, very typical of a 52 sticks that also enhances it with its short length.
- Combustion: very good, very even and homogeneous until the end of the smoke.
- Ash: well compacted, indicating a firm twist, medium gray veined with darker gray.
- Aroma: intense tobacco, woody, strong and enveloping, slightly pungent, that brings to mind very roasted memories of leather and smoke.
Storage Instructions
For the MONTECRISTO PETIT EDMUNDO (25) keep the cigars in a stable humidor to preserve their balance and aroma. Aim for a relative humidity of 68 to 72% and a temperature between 65 and 70ºF (18 to 21ºC). If the cigars are stored in their original cedar box place the closed box inside your humidor for added protection. Avoid rapid fluctuations in temperature or humidity and keep the humidor out of direct sunlight and away from strong odors. If you do not have a humidor use an airtight container with a quality humidification pack as a short term solution until a proper humidor is available.
Care Tips
Handle each MONTECRISTO PETIT EDMUNDO (25) gently by the body and avoid excessive rolling to protect the delicate Cuban wrapper and the long filler inside. Allow any cigars that have been shipped or transported to acclimate in your humidor for 24 to 72 hours before smoking. Use a sharp guillotine or a precise V cutter for a clean draw and toast the foot evenly with a butane lighter or cedar spill to avoid overheating. These compact robustos respond well to short to medium aging so consider 6 to 24 months in a stable humidor if you prefer a rounder, more integrated profile. Keep humidity below 75% to prevent mold and check your humidor regularly to maintain consistent conditions for the best enjoyment and preservation.
Reviews and Ratings
There are few detailed reviews from the major publications that focus on this specific Petit Edmundo presentation. magazines like Cigar Aficionado and Halfwheel have extensive coverage of the Montecristo family but do not always review every single vitola or box configuration. That said, retailer feedback and enthusiast commentary for the Petit Edmundo tend to be positive, with frequent praise for reliable construction and an even burn. Smokers commonly note a medium to medium full profile, with flavors of cocoa, coffee, cedar and a touch of baking spice, plus a creamy finish. Boxed bundles such as the 25 count appeal to those who enjoy consistency and value, and ratings by regular customers often highlight the cigar as a dependable daily smoke.
History and Heritage
Montecristo is one of the most recognizable names in the cigar world, with roots that trace back to Cuba and a name inspired by classic literature. The modern non Cuban Montecristo lines are produced in the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua under established manufacturers who emphasize traditional craftsmanship. The Petit Edmundo takes the character of the larger Edmundo vitola and presents it in a shorter format, delivering the brand’s signature balance and complexity in a quicker smoking time. The result is a cigar that reflects Montecristo’s reputation for consistent blends, careful rolling, and a profile that appeals to both experienced enthusiasts and those seeking a dependable everyday option.
Tasting Notes
The MONTECRISTO PETIT EDMUNDO (25) delivers a polished, medium-bodied smoking experience that opens with a creamy cedar backbone and a whisper of sweet leather. Upfront notes of dark cocoa and espresso evolve into toasted almond and subtle baking spice, while a faint black pepper tingle appears on the retrohale. The smoke is silky and compact, offering a steady progression from sweet, roasted flavors to a more earthy, mineral finish. Aromas of warm tobacco, dried fruit, and warm cedar linger in the humidor and on the ash, enhancing each draw with depth and refinement.
Pairing Suggestions
Aged Cuban-style rum or añejo rum, the caramel and oak of a well-aged rum mirror the cigar’s cocoa and cedar notes, while its sweetness softens the peppery finish. Espresso or a ristretto, bright, concentrated coffee reinforces the cigar’s espresso and roasted-cocoa character and sharpens the palate between draws. 70–75% dark chocolate or a single-origin dark chocolate, the bitter-sweet chocolate amplifies the cigar’s cocoa tones and complements its creamy, nutty mid-palate for a luxurious finale.
