Montecristo No. 2

VITOLA	REGION	PAIRED WITH
Piramides	CUBA	– V60 – Ooloong Tea

Montecristo No. 2 is a medium-to-full bodied pirámide known for its elegant balance of creaminess, spice, and refined sweetness. The first puffs typically bring smooth notes of creamy cedar, sweet hay, and toasted tobacco, with a gentle touch of baking spice or white pepper on the retrohale. As it develops, richer flavors of roasted nuts, coffee, and cocoa emerge, often joined by a subtle vanilla or honeyed sweetness that gives the smoke a silky, rounded character. In the final third, the profile usually deepens with more pronounced wood, earth, and espresso tones, while the spice grows slightly sharper without becoming harsh. Overall, it’s a sophisticated combination of cream, wood, cocoa, and gentle spice that explains why the No. 2 is one of the most iconic Cuban cigars.
