The Montecristo Master is a robusto measuring 124 mm by a 50 ring gauge, wrapped in a slightly veined Colorado wrapper with a good fill. The cold draw reveals notes of old wood, subtle oils, and light spices.
At ignition, the smoke starts thin but quickly thickens, delivering rich autumnal aromas alongside occasional spicy, sharp accents.
While the cigar remains rather short on the palate, it has improved significantly on previous combustion issues. However, an overly persistent sharpness somewhat detracts from the experience.
The final third sees this sharpness ease, allowing for a rounder, smoother finish.
Though not the most refined offering from Montecristo or the Open line, the Master still achieves an average rating.
