Smoked the last one of these a few months ago, and I'm curious if anyone else has had them, heard of them, or can tell me anything about their value. I'd received a beautiful painted Montecristo box of 12 for Christmas '99. Each cigar came in a glass tubo with a handpainted "2000 Montecristo" on each one. I had two remaining, and shared them with a visiting buddy. Never been able to find much out about them other than a stale ad on the web that states:
Back in the middle of 1999, the folks at the Montecristo factory wanted to release a special cigar to commemorate the new millennium. So they produced a one-time run of a bold blend of special cigars wrapped with their prized habana2000 wrapper. This limited production cigar was only made in one a special size (7 x 50). They also decided to package these cigars in individual glass tubes, and placed them in a very special, hand lacquered box of 12. The box is adorned with a specially commissioned painting by the esteemed artist, Michel Delacroix. They even included a double blade cigar cutter with their emblem to complete the package.
We believe that our limited inventory of these special cigars are all that is left from the unique production run. Just like a fine wine, they are designated with the year of production, hence they were called the millennium cigar. Here is an opportunity to acquire finely aged premium cigars, at an affordable price. If you have been an aficionado for some time, you will remember other great vintage releases in the industry. Remember the Dunhill 1989's, the Macanudo 84 and 93's, and the Partagas 150's? which are selling today for more than 10 times their original list prices (if you can find them). Just like those other esteemed marks, the Montecristo 2000's will soon be gone forever.
Don't miss out on this great opportunity to put away a few boxes of this collector's item. They come in black, blue, and burgundy boxes, so choose the one you like the most, or get all 3 and save $200.
Can't decide which one to buy? Collect all three colors (Black, Burgandy, and Navy Blue) of this limited production run. Each one is a beauty.
