Montecristo Open Master X Aniversario

Montecristo Open Master X Aniversario – Ten Years of the Open Line, Aged to Order

The Montecristo Open Master X Aniversario is the limited edition Habanos S.A. released in 2019 to mark ten years since the Open Series launched in 2009. Built on the same Robusto vitola as the standard Open Master, 124 mm (4.9″) with a 50 ring gauge, it comes in a lacquered box of 15 cigars instead of the usual dress box of 20.

What sets it apart is time: every cigar was aged a minimum of 8 years before release, darkening the wrapper and rounding out the blend. Production was limited to 2,000 boxes worldwide, with each cigar carrying a golden double band at the foot.

✅ Product Highlights

• Limited edition released in 2019 for the Open line’s 10th anniversary.
• Robusto format: 124 mm length x 50 ring gauge, same vitola as the standard Open Master.
• Aged a minimum of 8 years before release for a darker wrapper and rounder profile.
• Limited to 2,000 boxes worldwide, packed 15 cigars to a green lacquered box.
• Golden double band placed at the foot of the cigar.

🍂 Tasting Notes

• First third: extended ageing softens the opening into rounded cedar and cocoa, calmer than the standard Master.
• Second third: coffee and toasted nuts deepen with added richness, the extra years showing as a fuller texture.
• Final third: leather and gentle spice close the smoke, light to light to medium body with none of the roughness of a young cigar.

❓ Why Smokers Choose Montecristo Open Master X Aniversario

Collectors seek out the X Aniversario for what the standard Open Master cannot offer:

• Eight years of ageing already built in, ready to smoke at its peak on arrival.
• Limited to only 2,000 boxes, genuinely scarce once current stock sells out.
• A fuller, more complex evolution of the familiar Montecristo Open Master blend.
• The golden foot band and lacquered box make it a standout gift or cellar addition.
