Montecristo cigars shared the spotlight at a paparazzi-worthy event as some of Hollywood's hottest stars hit the links with many of the world's biggest sports names and about 100 lucky amateurs at the Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational Golf Tournament.
Montecristo was the exclusive on-site cigar at the event, which raised over $500,000 for a variety of charities, and was held at the fabulous Atlantis Paradise Island Resort in the Bahamas this past January 21st through 24th.
Montecristo sets the standard for cigar quality, and tournament guests got to enjoy four of the brand’s finest: the subtle and complex Montecristo Classic, the elegant, sophisticated Montecristo White, the sensual, fuller-bodied Montecristo Platinum and Montecristo Reserva Negra, "the Montecristo of maduro cigars."
It was an enviable weekend of golfing all day and partying at night. Guests enjoyed a nice selection of world class Montecristo smokes throughout the festivities.
Celebrities in attendance included NFL greats Lawrence Taylor, Richard Dent and Eric Dickerson as well as NBA legend Julius Erving. NHL superstars Wayne Gretzky, Brett Hull and Mario Lemieux added to the star power as did actors Alan Thicke and Aidan Quinn.
