• Length: 5 3/8 inches (135 mm)
• Ring: 52
• Score: 4.5/5

Origin and Production

The Montecristo Edmundo is produced primarily in the H. Upmann factory in Nuevo Vedado, Havana, Cuba. It's named after Edmundo Dantes, the hero of "The Count of Montecristo".

Appearance

It has a good-looking appearance, similar to the Petit Edmundo but a bit longer, with a 5/5 rating.

Construction

With a 4.5/5 rating, all the Edmundos smoked so far have flawless construction, nice wrappers. The draw is easy, producing thick smoke. Sometimes the draw can be too easy, making the smoke hotter, so slow smoking is recommended.

Flavor

Scoring 4.5/5, the blend delivers a pleasant saltiness. It's a typical Montecristo with a balanced flavor, but some may expect more flavor evolution.

Value

It has a 3.5/5 rating. The shorter version may offer a better price/quality ratio, but the Edmundo is still a good buy.

Additional details: Format is Robusto/Toro (Edmundo), weight is 15 g, it's hand-made, and the price is about $14/piece.
