  Montecristo Artisan Series

  Altadis USA is one of the few companies who does not rely on one individual to develop their new blends. Instead, Altadis uses a group of tobacco and cigar blending experts from different countries to use their experience and knowledge to create some of the most exquisite cigars in the market today. This group of people are called the Grupo de Maestros, and the Montecristo Artisan series was created to showcase each of these Maestros as each of the blends released under these series will be rolled by a team of skilled rollers under the Maestro's guidance. Due to this nature, the Montecristo Artisan Series cigars are limited edition and incorporate some of the best tobaccos the company has.

• Cigar Wrapper
  Ecuadorian Habano

  The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
  Ecuadorian Habano wrapper has become one of the most used cigar wrappers in the market. Grown primarily by the Oliva family, this tobacco originated from Habano or H2000 seeds brought to Ecuador from Cuba. This leaf is rich and flavorful thanks to the temperate climate of Ecuador and the quality of its volcanic soil.
• Cigar Binder
  Dominican Republic

  The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
  Dominican Republic is a traditional tobacco-growing country. In the 60's, a Cuban seed was introduced and the resulting tobacco, called Piloto Cubano, became famous as a good substitute of the Cuban tobacco that was no longer allowed to enter the USA. Piloto Cubano is full bodied while the Dominican Olor tobacco is milder but more aromatic.
