Montosa, a cigar brand under Arnold André, has added a new size to its lineup with the release of the Montosa Gigante, measuring 6 x 60. Announced at the PCA event in New Orleans, this cigar is priced at $9 each and comes in boxes of 20, available in both Natural and Maduro wrappers.
The Montosa Gigante joins the brand’s existing offerings, providing a mild to medium-bodied smoke. The Natural version features an Ecuador Connecticut wrapper, a Mexican binder, and a filler mix of Dominican Piloto, Dominican Criollo, and Indonesian tobaccos, delivering light pepper on the retrohale and a subtle spice finish. The Maduro, recognized as Cigar of the Year in 2022 by The Cigar Authority, uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, a Brazilian binder, and a blend of Dominican, Brazilian, and Nicaraguan fillers for a fuller flavor profile.
Oliver Nivaud, Director of Operations at United Cigars, which distributes Montosa in the U.S., noted, “The addition of Montosa Gigante rounds out the portfolio. This release is a response to the growing demand from our customers who appreciate the balance behind every Montosa cigar.”
