Construction and Aging
What sets this Reserva release apart from the standard production Montecristo No.4 is the exceptional attention paid to tobacco selection and aging. Every leaf used in these cigars originates from the 2002 harvest, representing some of the finest tobacco grown that year. Following harvest, the tobacco was aged for a minimum of three years before being rolled, allowing the flavors to mature and develop greater complexity than typically found in regular production cigars.
Bands and Packaging
The Montecristo No.4 Reserva Cosecha 2002 features the standard Montecristo "C" band accompanied by a distinctive Reserva band, marking its special status within the brand's portfolio. The cigars are presented in numbered black lacquered boîte nature boxes containing 20 cigars each. Production was strictly limited to 5,000 boxes, making this a highly sought-after release among collectors and enthusiasts.
