Montecristo Pilotico Pepe Mendez

Montecristo Pilotico Pepe Mendez is an extraordinary addition to the esteemed Montecristo brand, deserving of every cigar enthusiast's attention. This exceptional cigar pays tribute to the remarkable journey of Jose "Pepe" Mendez, who nearly half a century ago discovered the fertile lands of "El Cibao" in the Dominican Republic. This region, known for its rocky terrain and loamy soil, provided the perfect conditions for growing exceptional tobacco. Here, Pepe Mendez planted his cherished Pilotico™ seeds, setting the stage for a legacy. In a touching homage to his grandfather, Siegfried Mendez, the Tobacco Director at Jose Mendez & Co., replanted the original Pilotico seeds in the Navarette region of the Dominican Republic. This region has been under the Mendez family's stewardship since the early 1960s. The result of this heartfelt endeavor is the creation of Montecristo Pilotico Pepe Mendez, a cigar that captures the essence of this remarkable tobacco journey.

Pilotico Pepe Mendez boasts a complex and robust smoke, featuring an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, Dominican binder, and a blend of both Nicaraguan and Dominican Pilotico filler tobaccos. Handcrafted at the prestigious Tabacalera de García cigar factory in La Romana, Dominican Republic, this cigar is a testament to the mastery of the Grupo de Maestros, the same master blending team responsible for crafting other world-renowned brands like Romeo y Julieta, H. Upmann, and VegaFina. As one of the world's most respected leaders in the luxury cigar segment, Montecristo Pilotico Pepe Mendez cigars are indeed true masterpieces. For cigar enthusiasts seeking a special and unique smoking experience, this cigar is the perfect choice.
