A dark toro with a rounded cap and a few gnarly veins. While the draw is a touch firm, it imparts a very nutty smoke layered with notes of pecan, chocolate and leather. A spicy snap of ginger shows itself as well.
Although this tan toro has a soft head the draw is slightly firm. It’s an easygoing cigar that imparts a floral smoke with hints of soda crackers, salt and a bit of spicy ginger. The finish is woody.
Though reedy and dry at first, this large cigar warms to show a tasty smoke redolent of almonds, orange peel and tea. The burn and draw are even throughout.
In Cuba, Montecristo Double Edmundo are generally priced lower than in international markets. Cuban cigars typically range from $8 to $90 USD per cigar, depending on the brand, vitola, and availability. Prestigious names such as Cohiba, Montecristo, and Partagás sit at the higher end. There is no real price advantage to purchasing full boxes, as the per-cigar cost remains the same unless you intend to leave the country with more than 50 cigars, in which case proper documentation is required to avoid confiscation by Cuban authorities.
For online buyers, packaging plays a key role. Boxed Montecristo Double Edmundo cigars require official documentation and customs review before leaving the country, increasing shipping complexity and cost. That is why Montecristo Double Edmundo cigars purchased online often cost more than in Cuba, largely due to the required paperwork for shipping. Montecristo Double Edmundo cigars can also be shipped without boxes while maintaining the same quality, and are backed by a 100% money-back guarantee on delivery, offering a more refined and cost-conscious approach.
Advice: Always request a receipt when purchasing cigars in Cuba “no exceptions”. Without proper documentation, cigars especially boxes will be confiscated by Cuban authorities during inspection on your return flight home.

When departing Cuba, airport customs generally allow one box and one bundle without a receipt. While some suggest higher quantities may pass without documentation, a more measured approach is always preferred. Maintaining your receipt is strongly recommended.

Short answer: No. (Consider purchasing online instead.)
Long answer: Yes… if you understand how the conversation is meant to unfold.
When arriving in the U.S., the question is rarely just about cigars it’s about how you answer. If asked whether you have anything to declare, the reply is simple and measured “No”, especially when the total value stays within that familiar $800 threshold, a number that, like most things, can change over time. 95% of the time you will have no issues.
If the conversation becomes more direct, the details matter. If you are arriving from Cuba, the answer should still be “No”, because any cigars or liquor will be taken away if you say Yes. If you say No and they inspect your bags, worst case they’ll confiscate your cigars and liquor, and give you a verbal warning. Do not attempt to negotiate or explain, just say “I didn’t know” nothing more. The goal at this point is to leave with a verbal warning.
Saying “Yes” will ALWAYS result in losing your cigars and liquor.
If you are arriving from Spain or anywhere outside of Cuba, then you can answer “Yes” and simply say you have cigars or liquor from Spain or wherever your journey last took you. Do not say Montecristo Double Edmundo, just keep it simple and say cigars.
Avoid all of this and buy from us, or have us ship it to you if you already sourced your cigars in Cuba.
It’s not about avoiding the truth it’s about understanding how it’s told. Like a good cigar, timing and delivery are everything. The goal is to arrive home and enjoy your Montecristo Double Edmundo.
From the first draw, you experience creamy cedar, light hay, and soft nuts. As it progresses, gentle cocoa, roasted coffee beans, and subtle spice appear, building a layered but approachable profile. The final third deepens into earthy undertones with a lingering sweetness, offering a satisfying, calm finish. Each puff evolves gracefully, making it a cigar that rewards patience.
Maintain 68–72% humidity and a temperature around 20°C, preferably in a humidor reserved for premium or larger vitolas. Proper storage ensures the burn remains even and the flavors harmonize fully. Let it rest a little if it’s recently traveled the tobaccos benefit from calm, stable conditions.
The Double Edmundo is a robust, larger version of the classic Edmundo. Its generous ring gauge and length allow the tobaccos to open fully, producing a rich, balanced smoke without overwhelming the palate. Unlike some larger cigars that rely on sheer strength, this one emphasizes refinement, depth, and Montecristo’s signature harmony. It’s bold in presence but elegant in execution.
Aged rum or a smooth cognac highlights the creamy, nutty, and subtly sweet notes. Medium-roast coffee enhances the cocoa and roasted nuances. A tawny port or lightly sweet sherry works beautifully if you prefer wine. Light snacks like roasted nuts or mild chocolate are excellent companions, allowing the cigar to remain the star. Closing thought from Juan:The Montecristo Double Edmundo is a cigar designed for slow, unhurried enjoyment. From Havana to your hands, every detail is handled with care so it arrives pristine and ready to deliver its full character. Light it slowly, savor each draw, and let the balance, depth, and elegance of Montecristo guide you through a calm, memorable experience.
This cigar is perfect for medium-to-experienced smokers who enjoy a longer, slower smoke with moderate body. Beginners might find it large, but the smoothness and balance make it accessible. Its size and complexity make it ideal for marking moments of reflection, conversation, or celebration.

Read MoreThe Montecristo Double Edmundo is a grand robusto measuring 155 mm by a 50 ring gauge, wrapped in a smooth Colorado Maduro wrapper. It features a dense fill with a soft touch and an easy draw delivering a well-presented spicy vegetal blend on the cold draw.
The first third greets with a frank yet gentle attack, rounding into aromas of precious wood and vegetal hints accented by toasted cocoa bean notes. The draw remains excellent throughout.
In the second third, abundant and fragrant smoke carries a moderate strength with dried fruit notes like walnuts and hazelnuts alongside a subtle bitterness.
The final third remains satisfying and comfortable, focusing on coffee, wood, and mushroom flavors. The construction ensures a smooth, steady finish.
Although less complex than a few years back costing it one ring this cigar remains a true pleasure, worthy of its “Cuban Cigar of the Year” accolade.

Rich coffee notes meld harmoniously with wood and coconut impressions as this reddish-brown cigar burns. The draw is quite good, the finish long and pleasing.
Covered in gnarly veins, this toro is topped with a very flat head. It's a predominantly nutty smoke with floral and peppery qualities and a woody finish.
Wrapped in a spotty, gritty cover leaf, this cigar shows hints of almond and wood, but the finish is acidic.
The Montecristo brand dates back to 1935, and one of its original sizes, the Montecristo No. 2, remains one of the world's most popular cigars. (It was also Cigar Aficionado's Cigar of the Year for 2013. ) Sometimes old brands, successful or otherwise, could use some changes to add excitement, so Cuba's Habanos S. A. created the Edmundo line extention...
The draw on this richly colored brown cigar imparts oaky smoke with hints of leather at first. It gains momentum, becoming chocolatey, elegant and better with every puff.
