Cigars Maltes 20

Description

The Montecristo Maltes is a premium Cuban cigar crafted with an exceptionally silky, fully matured brown wrapper leaf, belonging to the prestigious Linea 1935 series released in honor of Montecristo’s 80th anniversary. This vitola immediately stands out for its luxurious appearance, flawless construction, and rich aroma even before lighting. Recognized as one of the most refined offerings in Montecristo’s modern portfolio, the Maltes blends depth, structure, and sophisticated evolution throughout the smoke, making it a favorite among discerning aficionados worldwide. What sets the Maltes apart is its dramatic and engaging flavor journey. Many expert tasters compare the cigar to a captivating woman—warm, expressive, and inviting at first, then gradually becoming intense, demanding, and even slightly bold. The opening offers an indulgent profile of cedarwood, milk chocolate, cocoa, and creamy cashew, but as the cigar progresses, a transformation occurs: sweetness shifts into bittersweet chocolate-coffee notes, eventually evolving into powerful peppery accents. This dynamic progression, combined with a dense, aromatic smoke and impeccable burn, makes the Maltes a masterclass in Cuban blending. For pairings, the Montecristo Linea 1935 Maltes shines alongside a high-quality Cuban rum. A perfect match is the amber-colored Santiago de Cuba Añejo, whose soft sweetness, cocoa undertones, and hints of cinnamon harmonize beautifully with the cigar’s evolving complexity.
