Our Master Tobacconist Experience

Our staff has celebrated these 1935 Anniversary releases since launch, and the Icon vitola stands out as a condensed powerhouse of refinement and intensity. The cold draw teases dark chocolate, nuts, and subtle cinnamon spice. Upon lighting, the **first third** opens boldly with prominent cocoa, espresso, leather, earth, roasted nuts, and a healthy dose of sweet spice with mild pepper on the retrohale. Transitioning into the **second third**, the profile deepens with richer coffee notes, oak, cinnamon, cream hints, and balanced earthiness as the Nicaraguan components harmonize seamlessly. The **final third** builds to intensified dark chocolate, espresso, woody spice, lingering sweetness, and a long, refined finish that leaves a satisfying, complex aftertaste. This medium-full, compact smoke impresses with consistent even burn, smooth draw, firm ash, and evolving luxury throughout.

Handcrafted in Nicaragua at the legendary Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez, this Nicaraguan puro features a unique **Nicaraguan Jalapa Cuban-seed hybrid wrapper** for rich aroma and spice. It encases an aged **Criollo binder from Ometepe** and premium long-filler tobaccos from **Estelí, Nicaragua**, delivering the balanced, luxurious expression that honors Montecristo’s heritage with modern Nicaraguan excellence in this limited-celebration series.

Not for mild cigar seekers, beginners, or those preferring light, short-lived sessions — its medium-full strength and layered intensity suit developed palates craving depth. Pair with espresso, aged rum, or dark roast coffee during an evening unwind or quick luxurious break for transcendent richness and synergy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edicion Diamante Icon special?

As part of Montecristo’s 85th anniversary celebration, the Icon is a Nicaraguan puro crafted by Rafael Nodal and A.J. Fernandez at Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez, using aged top-shelf tobaccos for complex, balanced luxury. Its compact robusto size delivers full-flavored depth with cocoa, espresso, leather, nuts, and spice in a smooth, well-constructed format that’s approachable yet sophisticated for Montecristo and Nicaraguan enthusiasts alike.

How does the Nicaraguan wrapper and blend influence the Diamante Icon?

The unique Jalapa Cuban-seed hybrid wrapper provides rich, aromatic spice and sweetness that complements the Ometepe Criollo binder and Estelí fillers, creating seamless transitions of cocoa, coffee, earth, and sweet spice. This all-Nicaraguan composition delivers authentic Cuban-style complexity with modern smoothness, medium-full body, and a long, refined finish that elevates every puff with layered elegance.

Is the 1935 Anniversary Edicion Diamante Icon suitable for beginners?

While its smooth draw and balanced medium-full strength make it more approachable than ultra-full cigars, the complex flavors of spice, earth, cocoa, and pepper are best appreciated by experienced smokers who enjoy Nicaraguan puros. Newer smokers may find the intensity rewarding but might start with milder Montecristo options before savoring this luxurious, full-flavored Icon.
