About the Montecristo Open Eagle Tubos (3)
The Montecristo Open Eagle belongs to the Open line that Habanos S.A. introduced in 2009, a range conceived to carry the famous Montecristo character in a lighter, more accessible register aimed at relaxed outdoor smoking. Where the classic Montecristo numerals lean toward depth and intensity, the Open Eagle softens the palette into something easygoing and approachable. Presented here in a three-pack of aluminium tubos, each cigar arrives protected and travel-ready, the format that keeps the wrapper pristine until you are ready to light up. The Eagle wears the Geniales vitola, a generous thick-gauge format that rewards a slow, unhurried draw.
Flavor profile by thirds
This is a mild to medium smoke that opens with smooth cedar and a clean, lightly sweet entry, more wood and cream than spice. As you settle into the middle third, the profile fills out with vanilla, roasted nuts, and a soft mineral edge, the kind of gentle complexity that never turns aggressive. Toward the final third you may notice cocoa and a touch of coffee with a faintly woody, balanced finish. Throughout, the wide 54 ring gauge keeps the burn cool and the smoke output generous, so the flavors stay rounded rather than sharp.
Pairings
- A glass of aged Cuban rum, whose caramel sweetness echoes the cigar’s vanilla and nutty notes.
- Freshly brewed espresso or a milky cortado to lift the cedar and cocoa on the finish.
- A lightly peated single malt or a chilled lager for an easy afternoon on the terrace.
Aging and storage
The aluminium tubo offers a layer of protection, but for proper conditioning store these cigars in a seasoned humidor held around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and roughly 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. The Open Eagle drinks well young, with its bright cedar and cream already integrated, yet a few months of rest tends to marry the sweeter notes and smooth the finish further. Because the blend is on the milder side, there is no need for long-term aging to tame it, though patient smokers will find the woody backbone settles nicely over time.
Who it is for
This cigar suits the smoker who wants the Montecristo name without a heavy hit of strength. It is an excellent daytime companion, well matched to a morning coffee, a round of golf, or a slow afternoon outdoors, and it makes a forgiving introduction for those still building tolerance for fuller Cuban blends. Seasoned aficionados will also appreciate it as a relaxed change of pace when they are not chasing intensity.
