I'm quite the novice when it comes to cigars, but these have to be my favourite in the Montecristo range.
The No.2 is a much bigger cigar and quite bitter in taste, but the Open Regatta is a very smooth and buttery smoke.
In mid conversation, these can easily last around 45 minutes or more. After cutting and toasting, the draw is excellent from start to finish and i'm very happy with the purchase.
Perfect construction and nice oily wrapper. Fairly good draw. I found the first third to be enjoyable then that went and was left with very one dimensional flavour which turned slightly bitter.
My favorite cigar so far. Burn, flavour, aroma, all in all a wonderful experience. Hopefully the ones I reorder will be consistently as delightful. For the first time I think I can comment on subtle tastes: chocolate, coffee, caramel
A milder version crafted for all the aficionados that enjoy to smoke outdoors. Much smoother, milky coffee notes and a bit leathery. David - C.Gars Ltd Cigar Ambassador
