Montecristo No.1 XVI Encuentro Amigos de Partagás en Italia Jar
The 2022 edition of the jar produced exclusively for the famous gathering of aficionados.
Every year, in the Marche region of Italy, the Cigar Club Matelica "Don Alejandro Robaina" organises one of the most important European events for cigar lovers: Encuentro Amigos de Partagás. This event is a celebration of the culture, gastronomy and local wines of the town of Matelica and especially of Habano. As Encuentro Amigos de Partagás has become a reference event for aficionados, Diadema S.p.a., the exclusive distributor of Habanos for Italy, the Vatican and San Marino, takes advantage of the opportunity to present new products and special productions in honour of this gathering.
This year, for its 16th edition, Encuentro Amigos de Partagás has decided to honour the Montecristo brand with this new porcelain jar. Produced in a limited edition of 300 exclusively for the occasion, it contains 25 Montecristo No.1. The jar, with its modern design, uses the Montecristo brand's colour codes, enhanced by gold details and the "XVI Encuentro Amigos de Partagás en Italia" logo in the centre. A little special feature compared to the previous jars is that this one is stamped with the words "Autorizado por Habanos" on the back. Indeed, this is the first time that Habanos officially recognises this special annual production.
Back to the cigar. The Montecristo No.1 entered the catalogue of the fleur-de-lys brand before the Cuban Revolution of 1960. Still in regular production to this day, it is the only Cervantes in the entire regular Habanos catalogue. While many of the other Habanos brands produced it at the time, they all gradually abandoned it. Also called Lonsdale, the Cazadores has a Cepo of 42 and is 165 mm long. An elegant, slender-looking vitola with beautiful wet earthy flavours, combined with notes of green pepper and precious wood.
