MONTECRISTO Joyitas delivers the classic medium-to-full Montecristo character in one of the brand’s smallest handmade Cuban cigar formats.
Presented in a Semi Boîte Nature Box of 25, each slender Laguito No. 3 measures 115 mm with a 26 ring gauge, offering a concentrated Cuban smoking experience for shorter occasions.
Product Description
A Compact Expression of Classic Montecristo
The MONTECRISTO Joyitas is a slender, handmade Cuban cigar created for smokers who want the depth and character of the classic Montecristo blend without the time commitment of a larger vitola.
Introduced in 1969 and still in regular production, the Joyitas is rolled in the traditional Laguito No. 3 format. It measures 115 mm in length with a 26 ring gauge, making it a compact yet distinctive member of the Montecristo portfolio.
Despite its narrow dimensions, the Joyitas is not a cigarillo or simplified miniature. It is a genuine, totally handmade, long-filler Cuban cigar made with wrapper, binder and filler tobaccos from Cuba.
Flavour Profile
When smoked slowly, the MONTECRISTO Joyitas can deliver a surprisingly layered experience for such a slender cigar.
Common tasting notes include:
- Earth and cedar
- Cocoa and dark chocolate
- Roasted coffee
- Toasted nuts
- Leather
- Pepper and warm spice
- A light citrus or Cuban tobacco tang
The flavour generally becomes richer and more concentrated toward the final third.
Because of its narrow 26 ring gauge, the Joyitas should be enjoyed at a controlled pace. Drawing too frequently can cause the cigar to overheat and sharpen the finish.
Made for Shorter Smoking Occasions
The MONTECRISTO Joyitas is ideal when a full-sized cigar would be impractical, but a serious handmade Cuban cigar is still required.
Allow approximately 20–30 minutes, depending on smoking pace, storage and individual construction.
It is particularly suited to:
- Short after-dinner smoking occasions
- Espresso or coffee pairings
- Travel humidors
- Short lounge visits
- Smokers exploring slender Cuban vitolas
- Experienced enthusiasts seeking concentrated Montecristo character

Collector’s Note
The Joyitas compresses Montecristo’s established medium-to-full character into an unusually slender handmade format.
Its narrow ring gauge demands a measured smoking pace, but when handled correctly, it can deliver far more complexity and depth than its dimensions suggest.
