Montecristo Open Master Cigar - 1 Single
by Sabato
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!

Montecristo No. 5 Cigar - 1 Single
by Simon
This has got to be the worst cigar Ive ever had. Bought it at close of play from Chester to have while having a swift pint. Cant tell you what the Ash burn was like because it didnt stay lit long enough to get any, when it did light it burned uneven every time at one point it burned down the center of the cigar leaving the sides unlit. It reminded me of one of my nans woodbines from years ago, cigar seemed damp inside could not get a draw from it at all, binned it half way down and its not a large cigar. Will not be buying this brand again, maybe a bit harsh but you expect to be able to enjoy all there brands regardless of the price.

I really like these. Not to mild for a monte cristo but interesting to smoke. I don’t go in for all the overly descriptive nouns, I just enjoy the cigar.
Great for the price and even better when left in the humidor for a while.
A good cigar in a very competitive price bracket

Well, just one week more in the Humi has transformed these big boys. Much firmer, and very much better. Rich, chocolatey, with an aroma of Jenny Agutters nearly new shoes.

These are fantastic little smokes, I found the had better flavour and a much better pull than all the other Cubans of this size and price point 5*

This has become my stock/bench Mark cigar. Good value, good flavour. When non cigar smokers want to try one, this is what I recommend. I ensure I always have a couple of these laying around. However, having smoked around 10 of these, I would say that 2 of them have had burning problems. One was recoverable with a bit of managing, the other I decided to cut before halfway and start again. Ended up chucking it. Have ordered more since though.
