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 celebrated 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.
The wrapper displays a rich Colorado sheen with a visible oily lustre and fine, well-pressed veins that indicate careful selection. The tapered cap comes to a precise point, allowing the smoker to control the opening cut and therefore the draw resistance. Every leaf is sourced from Cuba's premier Vuelta Abajo growing regions and hand-selected before reaching the rolling table. The wide 52 ring gauge ensures a cool, generous body of smoke, while the Piramides shape focuses delivery through the narrowing head. The draw is smooth with measured resistance, and the burn line holds even, producing a dense, light-grey ash. The overall character is rich and layered — cedar, leather, and coffee dominate, with chocolate, dry earth, and a subtle nuttiness adding depth. A gentle pepper note and clean mineral finish keep the profile engaging. Construction is consistently excellent across a 35-to-45-minute session that punches well above its size.
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.
