Product Presentation: Box of 20
First Third:
The box-pressed format creates a unique draw dynamic—slightly more resistance through the squared edges, concentrating the smoke. Cedar and roasted nuts greet the palate immediately, clean and well-defined. A sweet, earthy pre-light aroma transitions seamlessly into the first third, where cream develops as a binding element. The body sits at medium, approachable and inviting.
Mid-Section:
The middle portion introduces more complexity with hints of coffee, dark chocolate, and a gentle spice that builds gradually. The box-pressed shape creates a unique cooling effect, allowing the flavours to meld naturally. Leather surfaces on the retrohale, subtle but present. The Montecristo character is unmistakable—cedar, cocoa, and earth in balanced harmony.
Final Third:
The Dumas finishes with a measured increase in intensity. Earth and leather become more prominent while the sweetness takes on a caramelised quality. The spice sharpens modestly, and the cedar that has been the backbone throughout asserts itself on the finish. Clean, balanced, and characterful—a worthy expression of the Linea 1935 collection.
Montecristo stands as the most iconic Cuban cigar brand, born from the legendary novel 'The Count of Monte Cristo' by Alexandre Dumas. Established in 1935 at the H. Upmann factory in Havana, the brand quickly gained worldwide recognition. The Linea 1935 Dumas—named for the author himself—features a distinctive box-pressed format and carefully aged Vuelta Abajo tobacco.

Montecristo Linea 1935 Dumas
$865.00
The Montecristo Linea 1935 Dumas is a box-pressed format Cuban cigar measuring 140 mm (5.5") with a 46 ring gauge, presented in boxes of 20. Part of the Linea 1935 collection introduced in 2016, it pays homage to Alexandre Dumas, author of the novel that inspired the Montecristo name.
Suited to intermediate and experienced smokers seeking a sophisticated, medium-bodied Cuban cigar, the Dumas balances tradition with contemporary refinement. The box-pressed format delivers a distinctive feel in the hand and a contemplative pace that rewards slower smoking.
The construction features a carefully aged blend of Vuelta Abajo tobacco with the precise build quality expected of Montecristo's premium tier. The wrapper carries a warm Colorado shade with a fine oily sheen, pressed smoothly over the firm, rectangular bunch — the cap is neatly formed, the foot cleanly trimmed, and the box-pressed shape provides a comfortable hold with slightly different burn dynamics compared to round formats. The overall character is balanced and refined — cedar, leather, and subtle cocoa form the foundation, with coffee and earthy notes adding complexity. A measured nuttiness, gentle hay, and a restrained mineral quality lend depth, while a delicate floral lift and creamy sweetness keep the profile elegant and rounded. The draw is consistent with mild resistance, smoke volume is generous, the burn line holds even, and the ash is a pale grey that clings firmly across a 45-to-60-minute session.

A classy cigar through and through. Everything about it feels premium, from the band to the construction to the smoke output. Rich, smooth, and incredibly well-balanced. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore the Montecristo 1935 line.
The Montecristo 1935 Dumas sits in a beautiful sweet spot — full enough to satisfy experienced smokers but balanced enough to not overwhelm. I get notes of roasted nuts, dark coffee, and cedar, with a lovely sweetness on the retrohale. About an hour of smoking time. It's less intense than the Leyenda but arguably more versatile. I've enjoyed these with everything from coffee to whisky to red wine. A fantastic all-around premium cigar.
I actually prefer the Dumas over the Leyenda. It's more approachable while still being complex and satisfying. The flavors are beautifully integrated and the construction is flawless. This has become my special occasion cigar.
