Explore Aluminium Tubes Boxes
Every Montecristo Open Eagle (Tubos) (15) is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
The Montecristo Open Eagle belongs to the Open line that Habanos introduced in 2009, conceived as a fresher and lighter expression of the legendary Montecristo marque. Where the classic Montecristo blend leans into structure and depth, the Open range was crafted to welcome a broader audience, pairing the brand’s heritage with a smoother, more accessible character. Presented in the Geniales vitola at 5.9 inches with a 54 ring gauge, each Eagle arrives in an aluminum tube that protects the wrapper and preserves freshness until the moment of lighting.
The first third opens cool and creamy, with a sweet floral lift and a soft cashew nuttiness that sets a gentle tone. Through the middle the cigar gathers a little weight, layering cedar and a quiet earthiness beneath touches of cocoa and leather. The final third leans toward coffee and a whisper of cinnamon, holding the mild to medium balance from start to finish without ever turning harsh.
Stored at a steady 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and around 65 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit, the Open Eagle keeps its bright, creamy disposition well. The protective tube makes it convenient for travel, though for longer rest it benefits from time in a seasoned humidor where the cedar and nutty tones can settle and marry. A year or two of patient aging tends to round the edges and deepen the sweeter notes, while shorter-term smokers will find it enjoyable straight away.
This is a fine choice for newcomers exploring Cuban cigars for the first time, as well as seasoned aficionados who want a relaxed, lower-intensity smoke for the morning or early afternoon. Its gentle profile and roughly one-hour burn suit outdoor moments, a coffee break, or any occasion that calls for flavor without commitment. If you prefer power and pepper, look to the core Montecristo line instead, but for easy elegance the Eagle is hard to beat.
