Description
The Montecristo New York No. 2 is a Connoisseur Edition release that reimagines the iconic No. 2 torpedo shape with a bold, New World blend inspired by the energy of New York City.
Construction & Origin
This 6 x 54 box-pressed torpedo pairs an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder and Dominican filler tobaccos — a distinctly different construction from Montecristo’s original Cuban lineup, built specifically as a New World take on the brand’s most recognizable shape. The box-press gives it a more substantial feel in hand than the traditional round piramide silhouette Montecristo is best known for.
Flavor Profile
Rich and aromatic, this cigar delivers cinnamon and nutty warmth throughout, with the box-pressed torpedo shape concentrating flavor in a way reviewers describe as bustling and full — a nod to the busy, layered character of the city it’s named for.
Why It’s Sought After
The Montecristo No. 2 name carries real weight in the cigar world — the original piramide is widely considered one of the most respected torpedo shapes ever made, having earned Cigar Aficionado’s Cigar of the Year in 2013. This New York edition gives fans of that legendary shape a distinctly different, New World interpretation, built for smokers who want the iconic torpedo format with a bolder, more contemporary blend behind it.
