Montecristo Wide Edmundo world premiere in Spain

Montecristo Wide Edmundo world premiere in Spain: „La Noche Edmundo“, organised by Club Pasión Habanos, took place on 1 October 2022 at the Estadio Cívitas Metropolitano to present the new vitola of Montecristo's Edmundo line. Vitola Galera: Duke No 3. 125 mm x 21.43 mm. Ring gauge 54. 13.22 grams. The price is currently unknown, as is the delivery date.

Event without photos

Editor's note: We did not receive any photos of the event from Habanos S.A., which could bring this pleasure closer to the readers of this article (would be kind of interesting, I think; but maybe I'm the only one). So I'll continue with the official text, er, somewhat abridged:

In the setting of the Cívitas Metropolitano stadium, more than 350 lucky enthusiasts had the opportunity to taste this unique vitola for the first time. At the same time, there was an exclusive dinner organised by the Paraguas group, whose portfolio includes some of the Spanish capital's hippest restaurants.

„Montecristo is a symbol of tradition, history and a benchmark for the taste of aficionados, which over the years has become a reference in terms of innovation, style and trend, and the arrival of Wide Edmundo is proof of this,“ says José María López Inchaurbe, Vice President of Development of Habanos, S.A.

Announced during Habanos World Days 2021, the Montecristo Wide Edmundo is the fourth and thickest Habano in Montecristo's emblematic Edmundo line. This new vitola will be launched in October in official Habanos points of sale throughout Spain.
