Montecristo Open Regata Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Sunday 07 April, 2013 by Ian

Purchased as part of a Monty sampler and as with most of my cigars went into the humidor to settle for a month before I tried. I have to say, whilst I typically favour a 50 gauge or slightly larger, this 46 was a perfect late morning smoke- about 35 mins. The ash seemed reluctant to leave and I was well into the 2nd third before it departed. No real burn issues, slight sidedness but corrected quickly all on its own. Slight spice, no real ammonia, good flavours but a little kick and into the final third some very pleasing sweetness. I enjoyed the transitions though they were subtle, at least to my pallet. I'll happily purchase again, though some H. Ups. Magnum 50's are on my next purchase list.

Great smoke, smooth draw seemed a touch more full bodied than the standard lovely size too great for when walking the dog ! Just placed a further order for more

I was dissapointed with this montecristo. Did not feel like i was smoking a cuban cigar, espsecially not a monte but more of a cheap cigar behind the counter in a corner shop. Very sad and will not be smoking this again.feel free to try though.

I know many people say this cigar lacks maturity. I have been smoking it every other day recently, alternating with a Montecriso No 2. True, it is not a No 2, but still a fabulous smoke. The draw is easy, the smoke rich and satisfying with no nasty bitterness. Even near the end, it is pleasing and one of the few cigars I know, that I truly am sad to put out. I love it and urge people to at least try it.

I was realy looking forward to this cigar because of its price, shape and gauge. It is a bit too mellow for me, it did have a good even burn but a strange tase towards the end.
