Eagle: 52-M/COpEgl20 R3929.95 Box of 20

The Montecristo Open cigar range is designed to appeal to the younger smoker, the new smoker, the occasional smoker, the smoker who requires a lighter, easier-burning cigar – but with the same great Cuban taste.

The “OPEN” range was first presented to the public at the 2009 Habanos Festival in Cuba.

An aside:  Three months later the first 18-hole international Montecristo Cup Open Golf Tournament was played at the Varadero Golf Club in Cuba with Ernie Els as the guest of honour and to present the prizes.

Back to the cigars:
The Montecristo Open Cigars carry the normal Montecristo band, with an additional green and gold “OPEN” band with the name of the Vitola (size) printed on it. Packed in Boxes of 20 with the Montecristo branding on a diagonally divided green and gold background.

EAGLE – 149mm x Ring 54 – a bit larger than the Montecristo Edmundo

MASTER – 124mm x Ring 50 – the first true Robusto made by Montecristo

REGATA – 135mm x Ring 49 – the Pyramid shape, the smallest we know of, even smaller than a Bolivar Belicosos. OUT OF STOCK

JUNIOR – 110mm x Ring 38 – a variation on the Half Corona size

They are presented in boxes of 20, and we have packed the REGATA, JUNIOR and MASTER singly in glass tubes for you to try. (The EAGLE is just too large for a glass tube. Email us to ask for options.)

Master: 52-M/COpMas20 R3015.50 Box of 20
52-M/COpMasT R180.00 Single in glass tube

What people are saying about the cigars:

“We want to attract a new generation of cigar smoker who is just starting to enjoy the occasional cigar”. Buenaventura Jimenez Sanchez–Canet, Co-President of Habanos SA

“The Eagle ……had the most richness and flavour…….plenty of chocolate and cream flavours with a hint of cedar (92 points, unblind)” James Suckling. Read the blog

“The entire line shows these hay flavours combined with a certain yet very light sweet aftertaste ……… “green” aromas, - like some herbs, a gentle mint taste etc etc ….
I have heard about “Habanudo” and “soft washed Montecristo” – funny wordings. After having smoked a fair amount of the new sticks within the last couple of days I see these “Habanudos” as being cigars of its own within the Habanos range. There is demand on light and fresh cigars and Montecristo is without doubt the brand everybody sees as THE Cuban cigar.”
Christopher Wolters, commercial director of La Casa del Habano Hamburg. Read the blog

My first impression on opening the boxes was “What great-looking cigars”. The colour is a nice medium brown, and the leaf is smooth and glossy on the Eagle and the Junior. The wrapper on the Master was a little rough looking, so I chose to smoke that first – and what an enjoyable introduction to the range. All the flavour is there, but not as intense as the original Montecristo. It burned a little unevenly at first, but it soon sorted itself out, and the excellent construction was shown by the length of the ash. It smoked smooth to the end, definitely a must-smoke-again experience. I’m looking forward to the other three.
