The Montecristo Petit Edmundo was released by Habanos SA in 2006 and was the first stubby short size to be produced in Cuba to meet the growing demand for short but large cigars. The vitola de galera is Petit Edmundo.
From the beginning, it was marketed in semi-boite nature boxes of 10 and 25, while in 2008, the packaging in packs of three aluminum tubes was also released.
It is dressed in a Colorado leaf with brown reflections. To the touch, it is smooth, with veins present but not too pronounced. The draw and filling are good.

Montecristo Petit Edmundo: well-defined aromas of wood and coffee are perceived in the cold draw, enriched by spicy nuances.
Once lit, the smoke is sapid but also slightly sweet. Notes of wood, enriched by nuances of earth and cocoa, appear. Strength is medium (3/5).
In the second half, the initial sweetness disappears. The flavors are better structured on earth, wood, and walnut triptych. The wood becomes more pronounced in the finale, and notes of black pepper also appear. Strength becomes medium-high (4/5).
In conclusion, the Montecristo Petit Edmundo offers a straightforward and satisfying smoke despite an evolution that is somewhat sacrificed by the reduced length. It remains an excellent product for those looking for a satisfying and relatively quick smoke.
