Montecristo Open Master Cigar - 1 Single

Very enjoyable cigar. Great draw but did not produce a lot of smoke which I missed. Good flavours, definitely only mesium strength (which is a good thing for me). Not sure I would buy again only down to price

Pre light draw seemed good however once it had been lit didnt seem to draw much smoke at all. Constant battle to keep it lit and a very uneven burn with a poor ash hold. Kept in humidor at RH 70% other cigars smoke well. It may just be a rogue cigar, would try again if gifted but dont think I shall be buying again unfortunately. Better robustos out there.

Firstly, I would like ot say thankyou to Mitchell Orchant for recommending this cigar as I found it to be one of the most complex smokes I think I have ever had. I can only describe it as being similar to a fine sauce; after the initial 1/2 inch, which to my ageing palate, was quite spicy and peppery, the rest of the cigar carried a depth of flavour surrounded by other more subtle flavours. It is the first time I have picked up on what others say of coffee and caramel undertones. If you like a fuller but not overpowering flavour throughout your cigar, I would highly recommend this one. Its one of those that I will ensure is always in my humidor from now on.

As a newbie to cigar smoking (only tried about a dozen), this is probably my favourite. Ill be ordering more.

It looked good enough, well made and smelt pretty good. The first third was less smokey than I would have liked but drew well. Predominantly woody notes with a very slight peppery taste. Second third had much better smoke but still oak and cedar notes came through. The final third had slightly more pepper but the woody notes remain the main feature of this cigar. The burn was very uneven which I was a bit disappointed with, burning a V down one side until the final third where it side burned but the ash held up nicely. Very one dimensional but not an effort to smoke. I wouldnt buy a box but one or two in the humidor wouldnt go amiss. Rather light for a Montecristo but I guess that was the idea with this run. I chose to punch mine, I believe a V cut would have been a better choice. Not a bad cigar, but not a great cigar. One for the Golf course. Lasted a good 45-50mins. Worth a try!

Great looking stick, with a fairly loose and easy draw. Earth and black pepper are the main flavours that starts to develop. The remainder of the cigar stays predominantly woody throughout. A light-ish and non-complex smoke.
