Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Doble Diamante Red Continues the Legacy of an Iconic Serie

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Altadis U.S.A. proudly announces the release of the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Doble Diamante Red, the second expression in the celebrated Doble Diamante series. Inspired by the rarity and brilliance of a red diamond, this exclusive release showcases some of the finest and rarest tobaccos from A.J. Fernandez’s personal reserve, delivering a smoking experience created for collectors and connoisseurs who demand the very best.

Building on the success of the original Doble Diamante, the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Doble Diamante Red marks the next chapter in the series, further elevating the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary portfolio with a blend designed to highlight the depth, richness, and elegance of extraordinary Nicaraguan tobacco.

Developed in collaboration with Rafael Nodal and A.J. Fernandez, the cigar features rare and extra-fermented Nicaraguan tobaccos cultivated at Fernandez’s renowned Finca la Lilia and San Lotano farms in the fertile Estelí Valley. The result is a medium-to-full-bodied cigar that reflects both tradition and innovation at the highest level of cigar craftsmanship.

“The Doble Diamante Red represents our continued pursuit of perfection within the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary line,” said Rafael Nodal, VP of Product Capability for Tabacalera USA “By selecting exceptional tobaccos from A.J. Fernandez’s personal reserve, we were able to craft a blend that delivers remarkable depth, richness and balance while honoring the elegance and tradition that define Montecristo.”

The Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Doble Diamante Red delivers a rich and complex aroma highlighted by notes of spice and leather. The refined flavor profile unfolds with layers of cocoa, leather, spice and espresso, creating a smooth and balanced finish.

Graded like a precious diamond, the Doble Diamante Red meets Montecristo’s rigorous quality standards. Its impeccable construction ensures a perfect draw and sharp burn, while the silky, small-batch Nicaraguan wrapper displays a deep, lustrous color reminiscent of a rare gemstone.

“The Doble Diamante Red is a celebration of rarity and passion,” said Gabe Diaz, Brand Manager at Altadis U.S.A. “Like the red diamond that inspired it, this cigar is exceptionally rare and beautifully crafted. From the tobaccos selected from A.J. Fernandez’s personal reserve to the distinguished humidor presentation, every detail was curated to create an experience that feels truly special for the select few who can experience it.”

Presented in a stunning, 20-count cedar humidor featuring a piano finish and metal accents, the packaging itself is designed as a collector’s showpiece—reflecting the classic luxury and craftsmanship of Montecristo.
