Montecristo Open Master

Montecristo Open Master – The Approachable Robusto of the Open Line

The Montecristo Open Master takes the world’s most popular cigar format and gives it the Open Series treatment. Launched in 2009 as part of the range Habanos S.A. built for lighter, more relaxed smoking, it is rolled as a classic Robusto measuring 124 mm (4.9″) with a 50 ring gauge, packed in a dress box of 20 cigars.

A Colorado claro wrapper with a light oily sheen and delicate veining covers a filler built for accessibility over intensity, making the Open Master one of the gentlest ways to meet the Montecristo name.
