Limited Edition Montecristo Humidor Debuts at PCA

Montecristo Unveils ‘Follow The Stars’ Tribute Humidor

Following PCA Debut in New Orleans

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Altadis U.S.A. proudly announces the release of the Montecristo “Follow The Stars” Tribute Humidor, after its initial unveiling April 18 at the Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show in New Orleans, La.

With a limited production of just 20 pieces, this one-of-a-kind creation honors the legacy of the Montecristo brand through an extraordinary fusion of craftsmanship, innovation and design—unlike anything ever created in the category.

 

Developed in collaboration with Hernandez Humidors, the Montecristo “Follow The Stars” Tribute Humidor is engineered to deliver a truly immersive experience. The exterior lid features unique motion-activated lighting with a tactile switch that turns trim LEDs on and off on the bottom of the art piece. Upon opening the humidor, the interior reveals a stunning starry-sky and LED interior that brings the humidor’s inspiration to life.

 

The humidor is fitted with a precise digital hygrometer that ensures optimal humidity readings. The hand-polished and assembled authentic Spanish Cedar interior provides the perfect vessel for aging the most precious cigars.

 

Further elevating its design, the humidor includes a hidden 2-cigar Montecristo electroplated ashtray, crafted to mirror the humidor’s aesthetic – an intentional and seamless extension of its artistry and functionality.

 

“This artful humidor piece is a tribute to everything Montecristo represents—heritage, craftsmanship and innovation,” said Oliver Hyams, VP of Marketing for Altadis U.S.A. “We set out to create something that honors the brand’s legacy while delivering a completely new and unforgettable experience. There is truly nothing like it.”

 

The humidor is accompanied by a 50-count collection of Nicaraguan Maduro puros, aged an additional five years after rolling. Crafted in a 6 x 55 box-pressed Salomon format with tobaccos from AJ Fernandez’ private estate, these cigars deliver a rich, complex smoking experience designed to complement the rarity of the humidor. Only the 20 owners of the limited, Montecristo “Follow The Stars” humidors, will be granted exclusive access to purchase a 50-count refill twice within a 12-month calendar period.

 

“This project was about creating a lasting symbol of the Montecristo name,” said Gabe Diaz, Brand Manager for Altadis U.S.A. “Every detail—from the star-inspired design to the cigars themselves—was built to reflect the brand’s story and elevate the way it’s experienced. ‘Follow The Stars’ truly captures the vision for Montecristo…Then. Now. Forever.”

 

The Montecristo “Follow The Stars” Tribute Humidor will be available in an extremely limited quantity of just 20 units and will ship in June 2026. MSRP of the Follow The Stars Humidor with accompanying 50-Count Salomon cigar collection is $15,000.
