Montecristo Open Eagle Cigar - 1 Single
by Nicholas
Wow what a treat this cigar was. Smoked one last night for the first time. The only way I can describe it, is as a delight of smoke. This thick, generous cigar is a delight to draw on. It fills your mouth with the most delicious, coffee like smoke. No bitterness (until right at the end), just sheer delight.
Absolutely loved it. Try it!

This is my husbands review
Well just smoked another one of my Guantanamera Cristales and amazingly it lasted 2 hours to 1 inch from the band never went out and was smooth tasting to the very end any uneven burning issues were dealt with by simply rotating the cigar so that the unburnt wrapper was at the top and serious issues by tilting the lit end down at 45 degrees and rotating the cigar so that the wrapper is at the top and just letting the cigar catch it's self up, don't use a lighter to do this or this will impair flavour, draw slowly like an hamster puffing it's cheeks up and about every 30 mins purge the the cigar of any unwanted tastes by slowly blowing through it so to sum up
A 2 hour smooth Cuban cigar for less than a fiver.
A cigar is for smoking not wrapper looking so don't pre-judge

Further in my quest to better the status of this lovely cigar My wife bought me a box of Guantanamera Cristales for my birthday this week I sat on our patio and lit one of these cigars at 2:30pm using the simple hold the flame near the end and rotate the cigar clockwise it lit strait away I used to use the toasting method but in my opinion this is a waste of time and butane the quicker the cigar is lit and burning even the better, the cigar burnt slowly with a good easy draw the taste is a lovely light to medium tobacco flavor, solid ash to over an inch it never went out in the hour and a half relaxing smoke letting die out gracefully at 4pm when it's cold simply put the butt back into the plastic tube and dispose of without odour in your bins
The true colours of this cigar is in the smoking not the looking and the stereotype attitude that all machine made cigars are rubbish is rubbish so a 5 7/8" Cuban cigar for less than a fiver, try one if you don't like not much loss but if you do like then start saving loads of money compared to £10, £12, £15 cigars

Had been saving this for months for my 22nd today, and i reciprocate with previous reviews that it is the best i have ever had. Lovely smooth taste to start, and slowly became more complex as it burned. Had it all the way down to just over an inch before it even started to turn bitter. Great cigar. This is definitely going to be a cigar my humidor will never be without.

Bought these for my partner and this is a further review,
People should not underrate this beautiful well made cheapest Cuban cigar, having smoked 5 of these so far the wrapper and body have been firm throughout the smoke of over an hour and solid ash a sign of a good build, they are an easy drawing slow burning consistent quality cigar with subtle light to medium flavours and everyone that I have smoked found myself so relaxed and chilled out which is what a cigar is for, Ideal for the beginner or some one that likes light to medium flavours, Why go dizzy or feel sickly with expensive strong cigars when this one is cheap and cheerful and wont break the bank.
My partner is getting me a box of 25 for my birthday this month.
Like the sticker "My other car is a Porsche" this is an everyday quality Cuban cigar, save the RyL Churchill's for the weekend.
