Light and breezy — perfect summer smoke
Picked these up for a barbecue and they were a hit. Mild enough for occasional smokers but with enough flavor to keep regulars happy. Great all-around cigar for social events.

First Third:
The cigar opens with a smooth draw, immediately establishing a consistent burn line that holds firm against wind. The construction allows for an even heat distribution, ensuring the smoke remains cool despite the larger ring gauge.
Mid-Section:
As the smoke progresses, the combustion remains stable. The ash holds well, displaying a light grey color indicative of quality leaf selection. The draw resistance stays optimal, requiring minimal effort to maintain steady smoke production.
Final Third:
The final section maintains structural integrity without overheating. The burn line remains straight to the end, providing a satisfying conclusion to the smoking session without requiring frequent touch-ups.

Product Description
The Montecristo Open Slam is a Geniales format Cuban cigar measuring 150 mm (5.9") with a 54 ring gauge, presented in boxes of 20.
Part of the Open line engineered for outdoor enjoyment, the Slam maintains optimal combustion stability even in breezy conditions. Suited to the contemporary smoker who enjoys cigars on the terrace, golf course, or yacht deck without sacrificing Montecristo quality.
Crafted at the Upmann factory using Cuban-grown tobaccos, the Open Slam features a resilient wrapper and solid construction. The flavour family is medium-bodied, centred on cedar, cream, and light wood, with subtle nutty and peppery notes. The substantial 54 ring gauge ensures a cool smoke and generous output, while the construction keeps the burn even in outdoor conditions. Expect a session of 50 to 65 minutes.

The sportiest Open — love it
The Montecristo Open Slam is my favorite cigar for the golf course. About 50 minutes of mild, creamy smoke that doesn't demand your full attention. Cedar and cream dominate with a subtle grassy sweetness. Perfect draw, even burn, and a wonderful aroma. I've introduced several golf buddies to Cuban cigars through this exact stick. It's approachable, enjoyable, and the name makes for a great conversation starter on the course.
