Montecristo Pilotico Pepe Mendez Robusto

The Montecristo Pilotico Pepe Mendez Robusto cigar is a remarkable addition to the Montecristo brand, capturing the attention of cigar aficionados everywhere. Nearly half a century ago, Jose "Pepe" Mendez ventured into the Dominican Republic's "El Cibao" region, a land characterized by its rocky terrain and fertile, loamy soil, providing optimal conditions for cultivating exceptional tobacco. It was in this region that Pepe Mendez planted the cherished Pilotico™ seeds, marking the beginning of an extraordinary legacy. In a heartfelt tribute to his grandfather's tobacco legacy, Siegfried Mendez, the Tobacco Director at Jose Mendez & Co., replanted the original Pilotico seeds in the Navarette region of the Dominican Republic, a land that has been under the Mendez family's care since the early 1960s. The culmination of this dedication and heritage is the creation of Montecristo Pilotico Pepe Mendez.

The Robusto-sized Pilotico Pepe Mendez cigar delivers a complex and robust smoking experience, featuring an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, Dominican binder, and a blend of both Nicaraguan and Dominican Pilotico filler tobaccos. Handcrafted at the renowned Tabacalera de García cigar factory in La Romana, Dominican Republic, this cigar is a testament to the expertise of the Grupo de Maestros, the same master blending team responsible for crafting renowned brands such as Romeo y Julieta, H. Upmann, and VegaFina. For cigar enthusiasts seeking a special and unique smoking experience, this cigar is a perfect choice.
