👑 The Vault Opens: Montecristo 90th Anniversary Aged & Rare Collection 👑
In 2025, Montecristo celebrates its 90th birthday. To honor this nine-decade milestone, Hunters & Frankau is unlocking the legendary House Reserve—a trove of perfectly aged cigars held for over a decade in Britain’s most coveted humidor. This is not just an anniversary release; it’s a taste of history.
Unprecedented Scarcity: Two Ultra-Limited Editions
Secure your place in Montecristo’s history with one of these two numbered, ultra-rare collections:
- The Original Legacy (Limited to 135 Boxes): Own a piece of the foundation. These ten-year-aged cigars represent four of the five original sizes that launched Montecristo in 1935. With only 135 numbered boxes ever released, this is an unparalleled opportunity to smoke the past.
- The Iconic Vintage (Limited to 100 Boxes): Acquire a truly legendary smoke. This selection features the globally acclaimed 2012 Habanos Limited Edition Montecristo 520. Only 100 numbered boxes of this decade-old masterpiece have been set aside for this special celebration.
The House Reserve: Age Guaranteed
What sets this collection apart is its source: the Hunters & Frankau Aged & Rare House Reserve. Since the late 20th century, we have meticulously matured the world’s finest Havanas in perfect conditions.
- Minimum 10+ Years of Maturation: Every cigar in this release has been aged for a minimum of ten years—the key to achieving its complex, smooth, and refined flavor profile.
- Certified Authenticity: Each box is marked with the age ($10+$, $15+$, or $20+$) and includes a signed Release Certificate. This document, affirmed by our Warehouse Manager, guarantees the cigar’s exact Cuban manufacture date, its rarity category, and its departure from our Reserve.
- Proof on the Cigar: Every single cigar is distinguished by a commemorative foot band, confirming its status as an Aged & Rare selection straight from the House Reserve.
