Appearance:
The Montecristo Open Slam arrives in smart dress boxes of 20, the sporty green-and-gold Open livery refreshed with a modern split-style band that reveals a glimpse of the leaf beneath—subtle, elegant, unmistakably Montecristo. In hand, the cigar (Idílicos/Geniales, 52 × 5⅝" / 142 mm) looks substantial and refined: a silky light-brown (Colorado Claro) wrapper with a gentle sheen, minimal seams, and only the faintest veins. Firmly and evenly packed from foot to triple cap, it feels premium and perfectly calibrated for a cool, luxurious draw.
Smoking Notes:
Before lighting up
On the cold inspection, the wrapper and foot offer dry hay, clean barn, sweet cedar, and fresh nuts (almond/cashew) with a whisper of herbal freshness. The cold draw is inviting—creamy wood and biscuit-sweetness—with a buttery touch on the lips and no trace of ammonia; just that classic, composed Montecristo perfume.
Burn/ Draw
The opening is suave and creamy: soft cedar, light toast, and fresh almond glide over a clean, perfumed retrohale. Hints of dry hay and caramelized biscuit add a delicate sweetness, while a pinch of white pepper tickles the palate without ever pricking it. Body sits light-to-medium, the texture velvet-smooth, and the burn line tracks confidently; the ash clings in neat segments and drops with dignity.
Complexity steps up to a poised medium body. Cedar deepens, the almond turns lightly toasted, and a resinous rosemary note appears alongside a graceful citrus-mineral sparkle that reads quintessentially Cuban. The pepper remains soft and white, seasoning rather than shouting. Combustion stays steady, the draw consistent; the cigar can rest a minute or two and return right on song, producing cool, creamy plumes that reward unhurried pacing.
Final third:
The Open Slam finishes with confidence and character: soft leather, dry earth, and understated cocoa form the core, framed by gentle baking-spice accents—clove, nutmeg, a trace of anise—on the retrohale. The smoke gains density without harshness; balance is preserved to the band and beyond. Construction holds—no bitterness, no collapse—inviting you to savor the last warm inches.
In conclusion, the Montecristo Open Slam is a refined, medium-bodied Cuban that marries everyday elegance with true Montecristo pedigree—an easy recommendation for your morning coffee or your next box purchase. Expect it to round out beautifully with 2–4 years: the sweet-cedar cream will knit tighter to the nut and cocoa tones, adding polish and value to an already balanced, buy-worthy release.
