Product Presentation: Box of 20
First Third:
The Open Regata begins with a smooth, welcoming draw, immediately distinguishing itself from the fuller-bodied classic line. Expect a gentle opening of toasted nuts and fresh hay, underscored by a subtle citrus zest that wakes the palate. The combustion is impeccable from the start, producing a cool, aromatic smoke that remains consistent without harshness.
Mid-Section:
As the burn reaches the halfway point, the medium-bodied profile fully develops. The initial grassiness gives way to structured cedar and roasted coffee notes. Dark chocolate and dried fruit add layers of complexity. The body builds gently but never pushes past medium—this is the Open series' purpose, after all.
Final Third:
The Regata finishes with earthy warmth and light baking spice. The cedar and coffee persist through a clean, balanced conclusion. A touch of leather surfaces on the retrohale, adding sophistication to the final draws. An approachable Montecristo for the modern smoker.

Launched in 2009, the Montecristo Open series represented a bold expansion of the world's most famous Cuban cigar brand.

The Montecristo Open Regata is a Forum format Cuban cigar measuring 135 mm (5.375") with a 46 ring gauge, presented in boxes of 20 or packs of 3 Tubos. Part of the Montecristo Open series specifically crafted for a modern, active lifestyle, it sits perfectly between a Robusto and a Corona in format.
Suited to smokers seeking a substantial yet manageable experience tailored for open-air enjoyment and social leisure, the Regata offers a slightly milder, more approachable profile than the classic Montecristo line without sacrificing character.
Constructed with the finest Vuelta Abajo tobacco, the wrapper is silky and consistent, promising an even burn and an effortless draw. The Tubos packaging is especially practical for maintaining humidity during travel, making it a favourite for on-the-go occasions. The overall character is smooth and approachable — cedar, cream, and subtle spice form the foundation, with the lighter styling of the Open series making it an exceptional daytime cigar that pairs effortlessly with outdoor settings.

I've tried most of the Open line now and the Regata sits comfortably in the middle — more substantial than the Junior but lighter than the Eagle. Good flavor, good construction, and a very pleasant aroma that people around you will appreciate.
A nice, easy-going smoke. Not as complex as the Open Eagle but very pleasant and well-made. Good for when you want something mild and refreshing.
The Montecristo Open Regata is a beautiful medium-length cigar from the Open line that delivers about 45 minutes of smooth, mellow smoking. Light cream, hay, and a gentle woody sweetness. I smoked one while watching the sunset at a yacht club in Sardinia and the name suddenly made perfect sense. This is a cigar that pairs with warm weather, good company, and an absence of stress. If you're looking for a mild to medium Cuban cigar for outdoor enjoyment, the Open Regata is a wonderful choice.
