The Montecristo No.5 Box of 25 is one of the most recognisable and frequently purchased short-format Cuban cigars available to smokers in the United Kingdom. Measuring just 4 inches (102 mm) with a classic 40 ring gauge, this compact Perlas (also known as Tres Petit Corona) delivers the full character of the legendary Montecristo brand in a convenient everyday format.
Whether you are looking for a quick 20–35 minute smoke, a reliable travel companion, or a high-quality introduction to genuine Cuban cigars, the Montecristo No.5 Box of 25 stands out as a smart and satisfying choice.
Montecristo cigars are widely regarded as the most esteemed and most appreciated brand of Habanos in the world. For countless aficionados, Montecristo serves as the benchmark against which all other Havana cigars are judged.
The brand takes its name from Alexandre Dumas’ famous novel The Count of Monte Cristo, a firm favourite among the torcedores (cigar rollers) at the factory where the brand was founded in 1935. The original Montecristo range consisted of a tightly defined selection of sizes numbered from 1 to 5. Today the line has expanded significantly, yet the classic numbered vitolas remain the heart of the brand.
All Montecristo cigars are crafted exclusively with selected filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone in Pinar del Río — the only region in Cuba that produces wrapper, binder and filler tobacco of the highest grade. Every cigar is made using the traditional tripa larga, totalmente a mano method (long filler, totally handmade).
These measurements make the Montecristo No.5 Box of 25 ideal for UK smokers who want genuine Cuban quality without committing to a longer cigar.
The Montecristo No.5 punches well above its size. The initial draw typically offers a pleasant spicy note mixed with earthy tobacco. As the cigar progresses, richer layers develop: dark cocoa, roasted coffee, sweet cedar, and a subtle floral sweetness. Many experienced smokers also detect hints of cream, leather and a gentle pepper that remains balanced rather than aggressive.
Towards the final third the flavours intensify slightly, finishing with a lingering sweetness that leaves a clean and satisfying aftertaste. Despite its compact size, the smoke production is generous and the aroma is distinctly Montecristo — refined, complex and unmistakably Cuban.
Independent reviews and tasting notes frequently describe the Montecristo No.5 as “a real appetizer” with an intense sweet-spicy character similar to chocolate mixed with raisins. Cigar Aficionado has awarded it high scores, noting red pepper, leather, earthy impressions, oak, espresso and a hint of molasses on the finish.
One of the great strengths of the Montecristo No.5 Box of 25 is its consistent construction. These cigars are pressed (a traditional Cuban technique that gives them a slightly squared appearance) and are known for an even burn and a reliable draw when properly stored.
Because of the smaller ring gauge, the flavours arrive concentrated and direct. The shorter length means you can enjoy a complete and satisfying Cuban cigar experience in under half an hour — perfect for a lunch break, a short walk, or an evening aperitif.
Many UK smokers keep a box of these in their humidor specifically for occasions when time is limited but quality cannot be compromised. It is also an excellent choice for those new to Cuban cigars who want to experience the Montecristo profile without investing in a longer format.
Buying the Montecristo No.5 Box of 25 offers several practical advantages:
The cigars arrive loose in the classic Montecristo wooden box, allowing the natural cedar to interact with the tobacco over time — a detail appreciated by collectors and everyday smokers alike.
