"Good smoke."

Montecristo Epic Vintage 12 Blue No. 2 6 * 50, Box of 10

Montecristo Epic Vintage 12 Blue Toro 6 * 52, Box of 10

The Montecristo Epic Vintage 12 Blue is part of this iconic brand’s Epic series. The filler consists of a Nicaraguan leaf blended with Dominican tobacco that was grown in 2012, which was considered an outstanding harvest. The filler leaves are covered by a Dominican binder, which is then covered by a smooth Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. Once rolled, the cigar is allowed to age so that its distinct flavor profile has time to develop. The blend was created by Altadis U.S.A.’s famed Grupo de Maestros. The cigars are handmade in the Dominican Republic at the Tabacalera de Garcia factory.

Cigar Origin
Dominican Republic
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley. While tobacco and cigars have always traditionally been produced in the Dominican Republic, many Cuban cigar makers established in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban communist revolution, elevating the quality of Dominican cigars.

Wrapper Color
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper
Ecuadorian Sumatra-Seed
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Ecuador is the perfect place to grow wrappers, because it is located on the Equator! And it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the wrapper plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. Ecuador supplies Connecticut and Sumatra type wrappers to many cigar factory in the world.
Binder
Dominican Republic
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Dominican Republic is a traditional tobacco-growing country. In the 60's, a Cuban seed was introduced and the resulting tobacco, called Piloto Cubano, became famous as a good substitute of the Cuban tobacco that was no longer allowed to enter the USA. Piloto Cubano is full bodied while the Dominican Olor tobacco is milder but more aromatic.
Filler
Dominican Republic
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Filler (or “tripa” in Spanish) is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar. The Dominican Republic is considered one of the most premier tobacco growing countries in the world. The filler tobacco grown in this Caribbean island nation ranges from mild to full bodied. Olor Dominicano and Piloto Cubano are the main types of tobacco grown in the Dominican Republic.

An ok cigar

Raymond M.12/17/2023About: Montecristo Epic Vintage 12 Blue No. 2 6" * 50

Well worth a try. A unique sophisticated almost elegant taste. Minimal spice with a woody molasses flavor that changes through out. Good the end

Victor S.12/15/2023About: Montecristo Epic Vintage 12 Blue Toro 6" * 52

Can't really comment on this one. Cigar was plugged thus hard to draw. Ended up in the trash

MuriloP V.11/29/2023About: Montecristo Epic Vintage 12 Blue Toro 6" * 52

Worth a try

Luigi M.11/08/2023About: Montecristo Epic Vintage 12 Blue Toro 6" * 52

I had to relight this one a couple times but everything was right there. Comparable to a julius Cesar but richer in taste

Francisco T.09/27/2023About: Montecristo Epic Vintage 12 Blue Toro 6" * 52

Not the best in the Monte Cristo line.

Daniel G.09/14/2023About: Montecristo Epic Vintage 12 Blue No. 2 6" * 50

Outstanding in all respects.

Subrata B.08/22/2023About: Montecristo Epic Vintage 12 Blue Toro 6" * 52

Superb.

Gary W.07/05/2023About: Montecristo Epic Vintage 12 Blue Toro 6" * 52

A slow burning stick with a great taste and aroma. A new one for me and truly enjoyed it.

Bryant P.05/23/2023About: Montecristo Epic Vintage 12 Blue Toro 6" * 52

Every cigar taste the same, perfectly tasting and amazing aromas.

Rob P.07/22/2022About: Montecristo Epic Vintage 12 Blue Toro 6" * 52

Wonderful flavour profile but way too tight on the draw and needed constant relighting

Kari M.12/29/2021About: Montecristo Epic Vintage 12 Blue Toro 6" * 52

Beautiful cigar. Cedary, woody aroma. A slight nuttiness, pepper and spice with creamy, thick smoke. You can feel and taste that this one is special. Perfect burn, draw was a bit snug at first but opened up real fast.
