Montecristo Linea 1935 Maltés is a Cuban cigar that was launched in 2017, but cigar hit the market only in mid-2018. The Linea 1935 was created to commemorate the birth of the Montecristo brand. The Maltés are enclosed in a 20-cigar lacquered box. Among the three cigars released belonging to this line, it is a cross between the small Dumas and the imposing Leyenda.

Montecristo Linea 1935 Maltés: rich cocoa scents are perceivable to the cold draw. The first few puffs deliver a mix of earth and nuts.

The first section of the smoke exhibits notes of seasoned wood, together with some toasted hints in the aftertaste. Then aromas of walnut and cocoa appear. In some puffs, peppery notes recalling the black pepper are outlined. Getting closer to the middle third, piquant peaks are outlined as well. Strength is medium-high (4/5).

In the middle section, the nuts are still present, but now a much richer way, with a mix of walnut and hazelnut that becomes the protagonist. In the background, there are earth and notes of coffee beans. The piquant peaks are still there. Strength remains constant (4/5).

The final third delivers earth and intense spicy notes, enriched by gentle nuances of balsamic herbs. Strength grows a little (4.5/5). The finale is roasted.

Overall, the Montecristo Linea 1935 Maltés delivers a typical Montecristo smoke, more reminiscent of the pre-2000 Montecristo flavor profile than the new millennium one. The cigar is intense, with a broad and structured bouquet.
