Montecristo Open J Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Friday 27 November, 2020 by John

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.

I suppose that my first impressions is that the Open J is a bit of a disappointment, but thats not really so. In fact it is a perfectly good cigar, its just I had expected a little bit more from it. My comments would be that the draw was really good, it lit well, burned evenly, held its ash well and the construction was very good. However I think its a little bit one dimensional and a No-5 thats aged a little, is easily as good, if a little milder. its a cigar that whilst I enjoyed, it did not challenge me to think about its complexity, simply because it doesnt have much of one.

My first of the open series. I bought 5 because my local shop was out of Upmanns half coronas which are my usual walking cigars. Quick burning with a loose draw but not unpleasant. Obviously designed as a quick smoke with reasonable construction and a light version of the classic montecristo taste. Another reviewer said they got 40-50 mins out of it and honestly I dont know how thats possible. It was 20 mins for me keeping the Ash nice and flat. Good for short walks but honestly the price is too high. It may be Cuban but its not a good example. Look to the Trinidad Reyes or the upmann half corona in the same price bracket.
