The Montecristo Linea 1935 Maltes is the second largest format in Montecristo’s most prestigious line, Línea 1935, which honors the brand’s founding. This high-quality blend of Cuban tobacco leaves presents a balanced and versatile flavor, full of accents of wood, earth, and pepper. The cigar’s name refers to the nickname of the main character in the book “The Count of Monte Cristo”: the Maltese Sailor. His surname, in turn, gave the Montecristo brand its name. Maltes is the ideal cigar for discerning aficionados who always strive for the highest quality tobacco. The cigars are characterized by a third ring attached to the “foot,” which features the Fleur-de-Lys, a symbol that has distinguished the Montecristo brand since its inception. Linea 1935 Maltes cigars are rolled entirely by hand (totalmente a mano) and from whole tobacco leaves (tripa larga).
