MONTECRISTO

Montecristo is the best known and probably the most appreciated brand of Havanas throughout the world. It forms the benchmark for many Havana smokers against which other brands are judged.

The name comes from Alexandre Dumas’ famous novel ‘The Count of Montecristo’, which was a firm favourite when read to the Torcedores (cigar rollers) at the factory where it was founded in 1935.

The original Montecristo range of sizes was composed of a narrow assortment numbered from 1 to 5. Today it consists of a wide variety of vitolas to cover every level of the cigar enthusiast’s needs.

Whether it is within the classic medium-to-full line, the lighter Open Series or the newer, more powerful, Linea 1935, Montecristo’s perfectly balanced blends are all created exclusively with selected filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone, home of the finest tobaccos in the world.

OPEN J

The smallest of the open series. The J takes the form of a rare vitola previously only found in the Le Hoyo Series (du Depute). A perfect morning or aperitif smoke.

Tasting Notes

A small cigar perfect for lighting up when time is short. This size is produced for only one other Habanos, Hoyo de Monterrey, where it is called Le Hoyo du Depute. Enjoy its delicate flavour for around twenty minutes.

"Rustic in appearance, this little smoke starts out with toasted coconut notes that warm to show plenty of robust earth and leather..."

Surprisingly good for the price. Nice draw and easy going 30 minute smoke. Slight earth and leather but not as pronounced as its larger brothers. Flavour also developed which I did not expect. Prefer Cuaba personally in this range of size but very nice all the same

The Open Junior has easily cemented itself as one of my favorite all-time cigars and is definitely in my top five for Cubans. While sometimes wrappers on an Open J can cause a bit of worry for me, once lit these worries quickly disappear. Smoke flowed fantastically. For the little time I spent smoking the cigar, I was amazed by how much the flavours developed across each thirds. I paired it with a black coffee which turned out to enhance the flavors beautifully.

Delightful, tasty, mild, consistent I think I have found my favourite small Cuban cigar. I knew the draw was a bit tight immediately so I had to use the Perfec tool to ream it out before starting. A happy cigar smoking experience. But I couldnt have given a 5 without the Perfec tool handy.

Gave this a try after I found the Monte No.5 a bit to spicy for my liking.Firm draw to start with but soon relaxes into a great little smoke,good medium flavours throughout and a great construction,has a nice feel to it as you roll it around your fingers,pleased I gave it a try.Will buy again.

Quite mild and smooth with subtle flavours consistent throughout. An enjoyable 30-35 minute afternoon smoke that was perfectly paired with a cup of El Salvador light roast ground coffee.
