Montecristo Open Slam is the latest addition to the Open line, designed for those who value a refined yet accessible smoking experience. Crafted in Cuba using Vuelta Abajo tobacco leaves, this cigar maintains the brand’s signature balance of rich flavor and smooth complexity, suitable for both new enthusiasts and seasoned connoisseurs.
Measuring 142 mm and ring gauge 52, the Slam debuts a brand new vitola for Habanos – Idílicos, exclusive to this edition.
The Montecristo Open line, launched in 2009, has long had subtle references to the sport of golf, with vitola names such as “Eagle” and “Master”. “Slam” continues this tradition, potentially referencing the prestigious Grand Slam of golf. It is no coincidence that the name – Slam – was chosen to continue the success that the entire Open line has established on a global level since 2009.
The flavor profile is bright and inviting, starting with a light woody note and a creamy flirtation, followed by subtle sensations of almond, cedar and delicate spices. As the cigar develops, its character brings a touch of earthiness and cocoa, creating an extremely smooth and satisfying smoke. Perfect for daytime enjoyment, Montecristo Open Slam pairs well with white wine, a classic mojito or aged rum.
