 The most famous
of the many famous Havana brands started only in 1935 as
a new brand from Menendez, Garcia y Cia., then the owners
of the H. Upmann brand. The name is reported to have been
inspired by Alexandre Dumas' 1844 novel Le Comte de
Monte Cristo. With a strong marketing effort from
Alfred Dunhill of London, this brand became the most
popular of all Havana exports. There are no machine-made
shapes in this range and the strength is medium; in fact,
it has become the standard by which all other Havanas are
now judged. |
