Altadis Launches Montecristo 1935 Anniv. Ed. Doble Diamante Red

Altadis U.S.A. proudly announces the release of the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Doble Diamante Red, the second expression in the Doble Diamante series. Inspired by the rarity and brilliance of a red diamond, this release showcases some of the finest and rarest tobaccos from A.J. Fernandez’s personal reserve.

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

“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 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 20-count cedar humidor featuring a piano finish and metal accents, the packaging itself is designed as a collector’s showpiece.
