Two data sources: Rows with a ● LIVE badge are scraped every 6 hours and reflect the retailer's current price + stock state. Rows showing Last verified · 15 May are historical manual research — the retailer may not currently carry this SKU or may be sold out. Always tap "Shop →" and verify availability on the retailer's site before purchasing. We're expanding live-scraping coverage to every SKU monthly.

Reading the "Duty / Ships" column. Duty-paid is where the listed price is genuinely all-in — excise duty + VAT already baked in. Buy from a duty-paid country and what you see is what you pay. Buy across borders and the destination country charges its own tobacco excise + VAT on top:

  • 🇸🇪 SE, 🇩🇰 DK, 🇫🇮 FI, 🇮🇪 IE: Customs intercepts inbound tobacco mail orders. A box of 25 Cuban premiums typically gets a €100–€300 surcharge at the door.
  • 🇬🇧 UK (post-Brexit): UK Tobacco Products Duty (~£5.31/kg + 16.5% ad valorem on cigars) + 20% VAT. A €765 box typically becomes £1,250–1,400 delivered.
  • 🇨🇭 CH ↔ EU: Outside the EU customs union — destination duty + VAT applies in both directions.

Tip: tap show all-in rows for my country to dim every retailer whose listed price isn't fully duty-paid where you live. Always verify the total delivered cost on the retailer's checkout before buying.

About this cigar

Montecristo Open Junior — tasting notes and pricing context

The Línea Open was launched in 2009 as Montecristo's answer to demand for a milder, more accessible Cuban smoke designed for outdoor settings — the line is explicitly marketed toward golfers, hikers, and 'open-air' smokers. The Open Junior is the smallest of the four Open vitolas (Junior, Eagle, Master, Regata) at 4.4 inches by a 38 ring — a slim Petit Robusto designed for a 30-to-40-minute window. The blend uses a lighter Vuelta Abajo filler and a paler, more uniform Habano wrapper than the Línea Clásica, giving the cigar a noticeably milder profile while keeping the Montecristo signature.

The smoke is the gentlest in the Montecristo catalogue. First third opens with hay, butter and a faint sweetness; the middle settles into a creamy cedar core with a touch of honey; the last third delivers a smooth, slightly sweet finish that holds without ever turning harsh. Across Europe a box of 20 (note: Open Series uses box of 20, not 25) sits in the €270 to €340 range: Noblego runs around €295, Cigarworld €310, Cigarmust CHF 330 (~€345 after FX), Italian licensed tabaccherie €300. The Open Junior is one of the most consistently in-stock Cuban SKUs and price-spread is narrow — making it a reliable comparison-shopping target.


FAQ

Montecristo Open Junior — frequently asked questions

Where is the cheapest place to buy Montecristo Open Junior in Europe right now?

Prices and availability shift weekly. Save this SKU to your watchlist with the Save price alert button to get an email the moment any retailer in your country drops below your target price.

Will the listed price include duty + VAT for my country?

The Duty / Ships column above tells you exactly that. Each retailer listed price is all-in (excise duty + VAT included) only in their home country. Buy from a German retailer as a German buyer: what you see is what you pay. Buy cross-border (e.g. a Swiss retailer shipping to Germany, or any EU retailer shipping to the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, or Ireland) and the destination country will charge its own tobacco excise + VAT at the door — typically €100–€300 extra on a box of 25 Habanos, sometimes much more for the UK.

If you set your destination country on the page, every row that is genuinely all-in for you gets highlighted in green. The dimmed rows are honest-looking prices that will cost more than they show.

Is the price for Montecristo Open Junior likely to drop?

Habanos S.A. (the Cuban state tobacco monopoly) sets the worldwide release-price floor for every Habano in this catalogue. That floor went up roughly 40% during the 2022–2024 global price harmonisation, and Habanos has signalled further annual increases through 2027. So the long-term trend is up, not down.

Short-term, prices fluctuate at the retailer level — Swiss promotional weeks, German LCDH clearance, the occasional Spanish over-stock. The Finder catches those. A drop alert with no target price will email you on any meaningful reduction; setting a target locks the alert to your specific budget.
