The Story Behind the Name
Montecristo didn't just pick a cool name — it earned one.
Founded at Havana's H. Upmann factory by Alonso Menendez and Pepe Garcia, the brand got its name from Alexandre Dumas' classic novel The Count of Monte Cristo. Factory readers would read the novel aloud to cigar rollers as they worked — and the story became so beloved, it inspired the brand name and the now-iconic crossed swords and fleur-de-lis logo.
Today, two independent producers keep the legacy alive:
- Habanos S.A. — produces Cuban Montecristo cigars for international markets
- Altadis USA — produces American market Montecristo cigars using premium Dominican & Nicaraguan tobaccos
