Dupont.

The renowned Blindekuh restaurant provided the backdrop for another magical gala evening organized by Habanos, S.A. and Intertabak AG. More than 100 attendees were able to appreciate the three magnificent humidors that make up this Collection: Le Crepuscule, La Nuit and L'Aurore.

The Montecristo L 'Esprit collection, of which these magnificent humidors are a part, is inspired by Alexandre Dumas' novel, The Count of Montecristo, which gives its name to the prestigious Habano brand. And together with it, the French lighters and accessories firm for Premium Tobacco aficionados is celebrating its 150th anniversary. Like the humidors presented in Basel, the three chromatic varieties of lighters and accessories that are part of this collection represent the different night stages: Le Crépuscule, La Nuit and L'Aurore.

In the same way that Habanos are produced, each creation in the Montecristo L'Esprit collection has been handcrafted by artisans specialized in different trades. A perfect association that combines tradition, craftsmanship and excellence.

Tasting note - Montecristo L‘Esprit

Aromas that evoke sweet notes, with toasted touches, woody, light hints of dried fruits. Entering the second third, notes of spices, cocoa and roasted coffee are revealed. In the third third, it gives more complex expressions, intensifying its character towards a medium to strong strength, highlighting a great balance between aromas and flavors. Homogeneous combustion, perfect puff. Well-compacted ash, with the characteristic gray of the Vuelta Abajo* soil contribution. Smoking time: about 50 minutes of pleasure for a medium to strong strength. This magnificent Habano pairs very well with Edmundo Dantes 15 years old Rum and Hennessy XO Cognac.

Factory name: Preciosos - Measures: 50 ring gauge x 145 mm length - Wrapper: medium colored, oily and with natural shine.
