Flavor profile
Creamy · Earthy · Roast · Sweet · Fruity
The Montecristo Open Master is the robusto of the Open line, the milder, more contemporary Montecristo series introduced in 2009. At a traditional robusto 4.9 inches by a 50 ring gauge, it's the most familiar shape in the range and an easy everyday smoke.
What it tastes like
The Open blend is built to be smooth and approachable rather than bold. The Master gives you a medium-bodied smoke with cream, cedar, soft coffee, light cocoa, and the brand's signature touch of citrus brightness. It's relaxed and consistent — none of the heavier earth and pepper you'd get from the classic Edmundos.
Who it's for
The Master is a great choice for a smoker moving up from mild cigars, or anyone who wants a Cuban that's easy to enjoy in the afternoon without a big time commitment. It pairs happily with coffee, a white wine, or a light cocktail.
If you like the Open style but want the thicker, longer version, try the Montecristo Open Eagle. For help placing it on the intensity scale, see our cigar strength guide — and log your smoke in the Casa DNC app.
