Inside are 80 cigars, 30 of which are only available with the humidor. The first 50 cigars are Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Nicaragua No. 2s, box-pressed pirámides made by A.J. Fernandez in Nicaragua. This high-scoring smoke was the No. 2 cigar of 2021 in Cigar Aficionado’s annual Top 25 list. The remaining 30 cigars are box-pressed figurados, a new size to the line that isn’t otherwise commercially available. Called the Aniversario, the figurado (above) measures 6 inches by 55 ring gauge at its fattest point and is made with the same all-Nicaraguan blend as the rest of the line.

The humidor was created to celebrate the 88th anniversary of the Montecristo brand and has a suggested retail price of $5,000. Only 300 are being produced.
