@Paso - how was that stick?

Can't beat the Ryj original churchill. I've tried the short the wide and nothing beats this vitola I personally think.

Montecristo 80 Aniversario 2015 - 80 Aniversario GOA Dic 2016

The Montecristo 80 Aniversario is a special release cigar to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Montecristo marca by Alonso Menéndez in 1935. The original press release by Habanos S.A below...

Montecristo 80 Aniversario is a unique vitola , specially selected by Habanos s.a. to commemorate the establishment of this legendary brand in 1935. The 20 Habanos in this exclusive edition have been made Totalmente a Mano con Tripa Larga -Totally Handmade with Long Filler-, after selecting the exquisite capa , tripa and capote -wrapper, filler, and binder- leaves from the best plantations in Vuelta Abajo * (Pinar del Río*). The vitola and blend, which have a special strength, have been created for smokers who enjoy intense flavours.

The Montecristo 80 Aniversario has special dimensions that cannot be found in any other standard Habanos vitola. It will particularly appeal to smokers who enjoy thick ring gauge Habanos and an exquisite blend that is balanced, and intense at the same time.

This commemorative edition is presented in an exclusive, uniquely designed box made from the finest Cuban wood and elegantly finished with carmelite lacquer, with all its bevelled edges showing. The box cover stands out due to the round Montecristo seal in vivid gold tones, inspired by the design of the brand’s band.

The Habanos in this edition are also presented in an exclusive and novel fashion. The brand’s band is entirely finished in gold for the occasion and is accompanied by a second band bearing the reason for the edition: 80 Aniversario.

Montecristo is the best known and, perhaps, best appreciated of the Habanos brands and is considered by many to be the benchmark in Habano flavour. Its name is inspired by the novel The Count of Montecristo, by Alexandre Dumas, extremely popular among the torcedores -cigar rollers- at the H. Upmann factory in Havana, where the brand was established in 1935.

Interestingly, there were only two Limited Editions released in 2015, the H.Upmann Magnum 56 and the Ramon Allones Club Allones. I mention this because usually three Limited Editions are released annually and the Montecristo 80 Aniversario seemed to be a 'de facto' Limited Edition for that year. Like those Limited Editions it wasn't available until later, in this case, mid-2016. Unlike the H.Upmann Magnum 56 and Ramon Allones Club Allones, the Montecristo 80 Aniversario was still seeing 24:24 listings on our forum in 2019 with late-2018/early-2019 box codes.

The vitola is indeed unique, a Maravillas No.2 with a 55 ring gauge x 165 mm (or 6½ inches) length. The Montecristo Leyenda, released two years later as part of the Linea 1935 premium line, shares these dimensions.

After smoking it today, I couldn't help but feel how complimentary this was in comparison to the very best Leyendas I've smoked. To me, they seem to share common characteristics, with this Montecristo 80 Aniversario at around 3-and-a-half years of age. Unlike the recent, similarly-aged Montecristo Dantes 2016 Limited Edition which I smoked and noted how it emphasised stronger coffee and cocoa flavours, this Montecristo 80 Aniversario was mainly nutty, light coffee, milk chocolate and had a marshmallow-textured creaminess that simply oozed class from beginning to end.

Make no mistake, this was a glorious example of a Montecristo cigar from start to finish. I only wish I had more in my humidor!

This cigar is a pure marketing gimmick.. It has no original Opus X flavor profile and is priced as high the Opus X. 

Completely agree. I don't have experience with NC and never buy them, just sometimes my friends share with me. This one was my first Opus and full disappointment.

It was ROTT from the box which was in transit 3 weeks and i was pleasantly surprised. Toasted tobacco mostly at this point, but I am quite sure, after 2 month this box will be nice smoke.

A very rare NC for me tonight but a pleasant one at that. Lots of pepper, spice and nutty notes on this one. Part of a Perdomo sampler pack from my in-laws for Christmas. My in-laws always buy me a sampler NC cigar pack for Christmas which I find very cool. I must be doing something right as a son-in-law
