    MONTECRISTO

    Montecristo is the best known and probably the most appreciated brand of Havanas throughout the world. It forms the benchmark for many Havana smokers against which other brands are judged.

    The name comes from Alexandre Dumas’ famous novel ‘The Count of Montecristo’, which was a firm favourite when read to the Torcedores (cigar rollers) at the factory where it was founded in 1935.

    The original Montecristo range of sizes was composed of a narrow assortment numbered from 1 to 5. Today it consists of a wide variety of vitolas to cover every level of the cigar enthusiast’s needs.

    Whether it is within the classic medium-to-full line, the lighter Open Series or the newer, more powerful, Linea 1935, Montecristo’s perfectly balanced blends are all created exclusively with selected filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone, home of the finest tobaccos in the world.

    OPEN J

    The smallest of the open series. The J takes the form of a rare vitola previously only found in the Le Hoyo Series (du Depute). A perfect morning or aperitif smoke.

  • A small cigar perfect for lighting up when time is short. This size is produced for only one other Habanos, Hoyo de Monterrey, where it is called Le Hoyo du Depute. Enjoy its delicate flavour for around twenty minutes.

Reviews

Customers say
Customers generally find the Montecristo Open J to be a pleasant, mild, and smooth smoke, often praised for its consistent burn and good construction. While many enjoy its developing flavors and suitability for shorter smoking times, some reviewers note a lack of complexity and find the price a bit high for what it offers, occasionally experiencing a tight draw or blandness.
Ideal for those seeking a milder, shorter Cuban cigar experience, especially for outdoor enjoyment or as an introduction to the Montecristo brand, but be aware that some find it less complex than other Montecristo offerings.

Hi, this cigar was very badly made, could not even smoke it. Was rolled too tight couldn't even light it up. After a few light attempts it just split up and broke

Surprisingly good for the price. Nice draw and easy going 30 minute smoke. Slight earth and leather but not as pronounced as its larger brothers. Flavour also developed which I did not expect. Prefer Cuaba personally in this range of size but very nice all the same

The Open Junior has easily cemented itself as one of my favorite all-time cigars and is definitely in my top five for Cubans. While sometimes wrappers on an Open J can cause a bit of worry for me, once lit these worries quickly disappear. Smoke flowed fantastically. For the little time I spent smoking the cigar, I was amazed by how much the flavours developed across each thirds. I paired it with a black coffee which turned out to enhance the flavors beautifully.

Delightful, tasty, mild, consistent I think I have found my favourite small Cuban cigar. I knew the draw was a bit tight immediately so I had to use the Perfec tool to ream it out before starting. A happy cigar smoking experience. But I couldnt have given a 5 without the Perfec tool handy.

Quite mild and smooth with subtle flavours consistent throughout. An enjoyable 30-35 minute afternoon smoke that was perfectly paired with a cup of El Salvador light roast ground coffee.
