The Montecristo No.4 Reserva 2007 pays tribute to the Montecristo No. 4; the worlds most popular Havana cigar. Since its launch in 1935 the Cubans have produced the unfathomable amount of over one billion Montecristo No.4 cigars - more than 7500 tons of first class tobacco. Manufactured with tobacco leaves specially selected and carefully aged for three years gives the Montecristo No.4 Reserva 2007 a unique quality which sets them apart from other Montecristo releases. These cigars come packaged in luxury black lacquered cases and are a special release of only 5000 numbered boxes. The 20 double banded cigars look regal in both the Montecristo and Reserva specific ring bands. 

The construction and appearance of the Montecristo No.4 Reserva 2007 combine and the result is certainly a mouth watering combination. The caramel brown wrapper and triple cap are both impeccable! Reserva cigars are quite rare and can only be made when adequate quantities of the best tobacco are available for the three year ageing process. With a bottle top removed from the top of a Becks beer, finally the time had come to light the Montecristo Reserva. Over the years there have been some draw and burn issues with the standard Montecristo No.4 but the Reserva lit beautifully and instantly offered rich Montecristo flavours of cedar and spice followed by a magnificent finish. These flavours remain with the finish silky smooth until the very end. The draw and burn also remained faultless throughout with the ash solid and disinclined to drop into the ashtray. 

I’ve had the fortune of late to review mainly regional release and limited edition Havana cigars. As they are made by the best rollers it’s no coincidence these cigars have scored very highly. The Reserva 2007 ranks amongst the best from Cuba. The flawless burn, draw and delicious finish unite to make this release almost unsurpassed! We score the Reserva a 9.5/10!
