How does it differ from other robustos?

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.

What is the Open range?

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.

What goes well with it?

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.

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.

Versatile and delicious — my new favorite

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.
