The Montecristo Open Slam is a real gem! It’s a new addition to the classic Montecristo line, and it’s a clever move by Habanos S.A. It was released in 2025 and comes in the elegant Idílicos vitola. It’s just over five and a half inches long and has a 52 ring gauge, so it’s a big cigar that’s easy to smoke.

Don’t let the name fool you. The “Open” series might sound like a golf club, but the Open Slam is a serious cigar. It’s made with classic Vuelta Abajo leaf, but it’s been slightly tamed to make it smoother and easier to smoke. You’ll taste warm cedar, toasted almonds, and a hint of nutmeg, all with that signature Montecristo earthiness.

This cigar would be perfect for a fancy dinner or a relaxing evening on the porch. It’s new to the Habanos family, but it has that old-school charm of a cigar that’s been around for years.
