Release History
The Montecristo Selección Box traces its origins to before 1960, placing it among the earlier special releases from the brand. Although officially classified as a discontinued production item—with its last documented appearance in 2003—reports indicate that these humidors continue to be manufactured in extremely limited quantities on an annual basis, making them highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
