Montecristo Open Regata - 20 cigars
- Product Review (submitted on February 21, 2012):
- I am going to give this one another try after a few months. This is the only cigar from the open series worth visiting. Earthy with woodsy finish. A couple of changes which shows promise. The last third the flavors really take a turn for the better, that Montecristo No. 2 sweetness with coco develops. For the majority of the stick, the changes are very mild and similar to an aged stick without the finesse and complexity. Fresh they're full med in body, with time these usually mellow out into a nice summer smoke mild to med strength with subtle flavors mentioned before. The box received was another '11 and for a stick that's this fresh smoked very good. Construction is beautiful and draw was good but slightly tight. The solution was to cut down the tip a bit more. For what it is and the lowered price-point, these are a great deal and size is perfect.
