Montecristo Open Junior

Montecristo Open Junior – The Fast, Easygoing Cigar in the Open Line

The Montecristo Open Junior is built for smokers who want a genuine Montecristo without setting aside a full afternoon. Part of the Open Series that Habanos S.A. introduced in 2009 for lighter, more casual smoking, it is rolled in the Trabucos format at 110 mm (4.3″) with a 50 ring gauge, making it one of the quickest box-of-20 vitolas in the Montecristo range.

The Colorado wrapper shows visible veins and a firm, brisk roll, wrapping a filler that leans on the Open line’s signature woody, mildly spiced character rather than the sharper edge of the classic numbered series.

✅ Product Highlights

• Trabucos format: 110 mm length x 50 ring gauge, one of the shortest smokes in the Montecristo lineup.
• Colorado wrapper with visible veining and a firm, even roll.
• Light to Medium body true to the Open line’s approachable style.
• Fully handmade with 100% Cuban long filler.
• Smoking time of around 35 minutes.

🍂 Tasting Notes

• First third: dry oak and light leather open the smoke, lifted by a soft touch of nutmeg spice.
• Second third: dark-roast coffee builds alongside the leather, with black pepper appearing on the retrohale.
• Final third: the spice concentrates into a warm, peppery close while the woody Open Series backbone stays in charge.
