The Montecristo Open Slam is a beautiful cigar in a 20-pack. It’s one of the newer Cuban releases that’s not flashy, but it delivers exactly what a thoughtful smoker wants: balance, pedigree, and a great draw.

It’s a stout cigar (142mm) with a 52 ring gauge, and it uses the Idílicos vitola. That means it’s a good size for smoking, but not too big. It was part of the “Open” line, which is for people who like to smoke outdoors, with friends, or just relax with a good book. But even though it’s modern, it still has that classic Montecristo taste: earthy flavours, a smooth burn, and a smell of toasted woods, almonds, and a bit of spice.

If you’re looking for a Cuban cigar that’s not too strong, but still has that fancy taste, this is a great choice. Whether you’re playing a round of golf or just hanging out in the garden, this is a great cigar to have in your collection.
