Product Presentation: Box of 25
First Third
As soon as you clip the tapered head, you notice the draw is distinctively Cuban—just the right amount of resistance. Lighting the foot releases a heavy, aromatic cloud that smells like a barnyard in the best possible way. The first few puffs are surprisingly smooth but potent. You get an immediate hit of toasted tobacco and dry cedar wood. There is a subtle twang that Montecristo fans look for, accompanied by a faint white pepper note on the retrohale.
Mid-Section
The Petit No. 2 hits its stride in the middle. Dark cocoa powder and roasted nuts dominate the palate, while the cedar evolves into something warmer and more aromatic. Leather surfaces, supple and well-integrated. The tapered format continues to concentrate the smoke, delivering more flavour per draw than a straight-sided cigar of similar length. A sweetness develops—vanilla and dried fruit—that balances the building earth.
Final Third
The closing third brings increased intensity in a compact package. Earth and leather take the lead, with pepper sharpening on the finish. The cocoa darkens further, joined by a mineral quality. The smoke remains flavourful and well-balanced to the end, finishing long and savoury with persistent cedar and leather.

Montecristo is arguably the most recognized Habanos brand on the planet, serving as the benchmark against which other Cuban cigars are measured. Founded in Havana in 1935, the brand took its name from Alexandre Dumas' novel. The Petit No. 2 offers the Montecristo torpedo experience in a shorter format, bridging accessibility with the concentrated flavour delivery of a tapered head.

Montecristo Petit No 2
$425.00
The Montecristo Petit No. 2 is a Petit Piramides format Cuban cigar measuring 120 mm (4.75") with a 52 ring gauge, presented in boxes of 25. It distils the character of the legendary No. 2 into a compact torpedo format, making it one of Montecristo's most popular vitolas.
Suited to both collectors and newcomers seeking a medium-to-full Montecristo in a shorter session, the Petit No. 2 concentrates smoke through its tapered head, intensifying the blend's nuances immediately.
Every leaf is sourced from Cuba's premier Vuelta Abajo growing regions and hand-selected before reaching the rolling table. The tapered head focuses the smoke delivery, while the wide 52 ring gauge ensures a cool, generous body. The overall character is rich and complex — cedar, leather, and coffee dominate, with chocolate and earthy undertones adding depth. The Piramides shape amplifies the blend's subtleties, making this compact format punch well above its size. Construction is consistently excellent, with a reliable draw and even burn.
Authenticity guaranteed — every Montecristo Petit No. 2 from Cuban Cigars For Sale is verified against Habanos S.A. standards and shipped worldwide with discreet, humidity-sealed packaging.

I've gone through four boxes of Petit No.2s this year. They're that good. Consistent, flavorful, perfectly sized for an evening walk. The torpedo tip lets you control the draw beautifully. Can't say enough good things about these.
Elegant shape, smooth smoke, nice complexity for the size. Pairs well with an afternoon espresso. I prefer it over the Romeo y Julieta Petit Churchill for a quick smoke.
Surprised by how much flavor is packed into this little torpedo. Not as nuanced as the full No.2 but it comes remarkably close. Great for when time is limited but you still want a premium experience.
The Montecristo Petit No.2 is brilliant. They've taken the iconic torpedo shape and scaled it down without losing the essence of what makes the No.2 special. You still get that beautiful complexity — coffee, chocolate, cedar — but in a more accessible 40-minute smoke. I've been recommending these to everyone. If you love the Montecristo No.2 but don't always have time for the full-size, the Petit No.2 is the perfect solution. One of the best petit torpedo Cuban cigars on the market.
