Montecristo Double Edmundo
Montecristo fans have long dreamed of larger format cigars, and with the announcement of the Double Edmundo in 2013, those dreams became a reality.
The Montecristo Double Edmundo delivers more of the signature Montecristo body and taste than any Montecristo cigars that have come before.
Montecristo Double Edmundo Overview
With the exceptions of the pyramid shape Montecristo No. 2 and lengthy Montecristo “A”, really big cigars were mostly absent from the regular Montecristo lineup. The Robusto-size Edmundo was launched in 2004 to satisfy the demand for larger ring gauge cigars. The Petite Edmundo followed, paving the way for the longer 6.1” x 50 Double Edmundo.
Cuba’s Vuelta Abajo region of the Pinar del Rio province provides the tobacco for Montecristo Double Edmundo. The larger size means the richness and complexity of the tobaccos have more time to evolve during the smoke, making for an experience that offers more body, more taste, and just more of everything. It’s intense and not for beginners, but that’s part of the appeal to many.
Smoking a Montecristo Double Edmundo
The Double Edmundo’s savory tobacco blend and larger size combine for a highly entertaining sensory escape. The complex cigar body and taste unveil secrets throughout a smoke best enjoyed without time constraints.
Montecristo Double Edmundo Appearance
The Double Edmundo is a handsome cigar covered in a dark and leathery Colorado wrapper leaf with Cuba’s famous triple cap.
Initial Impressions
The cigar’s appealing look matches the tobacco’s aromas and cold draw notes of coffee, oatmeal, chocolate, earth, and cedar
Montecristo Double Edmundo Aroma
During and after the cigar lighting process, the cigar’s initial aroma intensifies and is joined by scents of nuts, mocha, and honey, transported by thick plumes of smoke.
Montecristo Double Edmundo Body and Taste
An easy-going medium-bodied start gradually builds towards medium-full with flavors of hazelnut coffee, toasted oak, cocoa bean, pepper, leather, spice, and blackberry. A steady earthiness keeps the smoke balanced and lively throughout the experience.
Montecristo Double Edmundo Finish
The Double Edmundo’s body and taste continue to grow as it nears the end. This is a cigar you want to smoke right to the end, a journey of well over an hour. The finish is bursting with the full spectrum of flavors, a complex and satisfying finale.
The Montecristo Double Edmundo smokes unlike any other Montecristo and is ideal for the sophisticated aficionado with an affinity for large-format Cuban cigars.
Montecristo Double Edmundo Cigar Value
Are Montecristo Double Edmundo cigars cheap? No. But these cigars are far from the most expensive Cuban cigars and offer a lot of smoking time for your money. The Double Edmundo’s larger size simply delivers more of the legendary Montecristo character than any other.

I smoked most of a box of these closer to when they were released. The wrappers were lighter than usual than expected from a typical Monte. They were relatively bland offering a weak profile with minimum flavor. I just purchased another box and the first thing I noticed was the wrappers were darker and reminded me more or less of a typical Monte. Before I smoked the first of the new batch I pulled one I had saved to compare. Already after a few months in my humidor I tasted enriched flavors. The burn was ok and the draw still a little loose. So I pulled out one from the new batch. The wrapper looked darker and more familiar and it wasn’t to spongy or tight. Right out of the gate I noticed the difference in the complexity form the first batch. A light spice some toast and woody flavors and a light creaminess and taste of nuts. A good cigar as it sits now but will look forward to enhanced flavors from aging in my box

Picked up a couple of these from luxury Cubans, and I want to order more!
This is an incredible stick with lots of cedar notes, milk chocolate, and is super smooth. Reminds me a lot of the Monte No.2

Delivery was on time and packaged nice. Sat in my humidor for 2 weeks and smokes very nice. The flavor is good, and so is the aroma. Good cigar. Can’t wait until more are available. They keep selling out.

This box of double Emundos arrived in perfect, unformed color and construction. Being a huge fan of Edmundos, bought a 3 pack of double Edmundos to test them out in duty free a while back and wasn’t disappointed. So I went for the entire box of 25.

Very good cigar. Not quite as good as the Montecristo #2 but definitely a solid alternative and great smoke.
Gabriel –
Can be considered a harsh cigar for new smokers but overall a very good flavorful cigar to the very end. Smoke with a glass of your favorite whiskey or cognac.
