Montecristo Open J Cigar - 1 Single
by Edward
The general consensus of this range has been negative but smoked my with an open mind. Not a patch on the other cigars in the Montecristo range. Found the flavours a little bland and uninspiring. Having said that it was enjoyable and smoked very well. If your new to cigars then this would be a very pleasing introduction to this brand, which I feel was the factories initial intention! As far as this goes the brief has been more than such sucessfully fulfuilled! Not my favourite smoke by any strech but would happily smoke one again if given one for example, so cannot be that bad. I think people are disappointed as Montecristo have set themselves such high standards to live up to but dont be put of, this is still a good smoke, though maybe not for the pureist or people who enjoy a fuller, richer flavour (such as myself).

Fantastic smoke, far out strips many much more expensive cuban cigars! First third real kick,with a full and spicy flavour. This mellows into dark, creamy rich, chocolate / coffee flavours. Clean, even burn throughout and smoked until it was reduced to a mere stub! If you enjoy light or mild cigars this is NOT for you! Very rich and powerful with beautiful lingering accents! Have reordered more and will continue to enjoy these on a regular basis! Personally am yet to smoke a cigar I have enjoyed more and lets face it that what its all about!

First class, A1 smoking! Effortless, smooth smoking. Beautiful vein free wrapper, cool smoke from first light to singed fingertips! Very pleasing earthy and woody flavours but will not over power the pallet. At this price I would heartily recommend this as an affordable every day smoke. I personally will be back for more!

I purchased one of these corona's last week to give it a go. firstly, I am a regular smoker of Tatuaje Petit Cazadores Reserva cigars and have been for some time so I was a little unsure if I should try these, Well I should not have been. These little beauts are a cracking smoke, Lovely smooth draw on them and a nice taste to go with it. They hold their ash well (2 inch), and are a lovely slow burn (45 mins for me).
For the price,(£2 cheaper than the Tatuaje) you should give them a try. I will deffo be putting another order in.

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.

Good draw with a bit of resistance. Starts off spicy / peppery. This then settles into a creamy like flavour with notes of mainly vanilla and cocae.
