Mild but never boring
Some mild cigars are just bland. The Open Master avoids that trap completely. There's real flavor here — cream, cedar, a touch of vanilla. It's just delivered gently. I enjoy these on summer evenings with a gin and tonic.

Montecristo Open Master is a handmade robusto, 124 mm (4⅞ in) long with a 50 ring gauge and mild to medium strength, sold here in a dress box of 20. A gentle robusto in the lighter Open line.
Montecristo Open Master is the same Robustos size as other Montecristo robustos, 124 mm by a 50 ring, but it is made as part of the lighter Open range, so its strength is rated mild to medium rather than the fuller strength of the classic numbered cigars.
The Open range arrived in 2009 as a lighter-flavoured Montecristo blend, aimed at relaxed, outdoor smoking and quite different in tone from the classic numbered cigars. Montecristo Open Master is its robusto, and the name Master was first planned for it in a proposed range called Sport.
A mild to medium robusto like Montecristo Open Master pairs well with a pot of tea, a light lager or a glass of dry white wine. It is a good first Montecristo for someone moving up from lighter cigars, with a familiar size and a gentler approach.
Every cigar we ship is guaranteed authentic and travels in climate-controlled, humidity-sealed packaging to destinations worldwide.

The Montecristo Open Master has become my weekday evening cigar. It's long enough to enjoy for about an hour but not so demanding that you need to concentrate on it. Creamy, slightly sweet, with notes of light wood and a pleasant floral quality I don't find in most Cuban cigars. Pairs amazingly well with white wine or a light beer. If you're new to Cuban cigars and want to try Montecristo, the Open Master is a fantastic starting point.
Yes, the Montecristo Open Master by Montecristo is an excellent choice for celebrations, milestones, and memorable moments. Its authentic Cuban craftsmanship and refined smoking profile make it a standout selection for any occasion worth marking.
Store your Montecristo Open Master in a properly maintained humidor at 65-70% relative humidity and 65-70°F (18-21°C). This preserves the wrapper's oils and allows the blend to age gracefully, developing richer complexity over time.
Every Montecristo Open Master sold through Cuban Cigars For Sale is 100% authentic, sourced through authorized Habanos channels. Each box is verified for authenticity before shipping with climate-controlled packaging worldwide.
