What is a double corona?

A double corona is a long, substantial cigar, and Montecristo Double Corona Limited Edition 2001 is a good example: 194 mm in length on a 49 ring gauge. It is one of the larger regular Cuban formats and needs well over an hour and a half.

Why is the 2001 edition special?

Montecristo Double Corona Limited Edition 2001 was made in 2001 as a Limited Edition, with its wrapper aged for two years before use, and it carries a dated band. The cigars did not reach buyers until 2002, so older boxes now have real age on them.

What goes well with it?

A large, medium to full cigar like Montecristo Double Corona Limited Edition 2001 suits a long evening with an aged rum, cognac or a smooth single malt. Cut it cleanly, light it slowly, and let the smoke settle between draws. It does not reward being rushed.

Every cigar we ship is guaranteed authentic and travels in climate-controlled, humidity-sealed packaging to destinations worldwide.

The best aged cigar I've ever experienced

My partner surprised me with one of these for our anniversary. Twenty-plus years of aging has done incredible things. Absolutely no harshness, just wave after wave of complex flavors — espresso, dark fruit, old wood. Smoked it slowly over nearly two hours on our terrace in Stockholm. A once-in-a-lifetime smoke.

A legendary cigar — worth every cent

Finding a Montecristo Double Corona LE 2001 in good condition is like finding buried treasure. I sourced a couple from a private collector in London last year and smoked one in December. Over two decades of aging have transformed this into something extraordinary — deep, rich cocoa and aged leather with a sweetness that reminds me of dried figs. The smoke is impossibly smooth, like silk. If you ever get the chance to buy Montecristo Limited Edition 2001 cigars, don't think twice. This is Cuban cigar history in your hand.
