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.

How does Montecristo Open Junior compare to other Montecristo cigars?

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.

If you want a side-by-side comparison of Montecristo other vitolas at current European prices, the SKUs we track are: Montecristo No. 4, Montecristo No. 2, Montecristo Petit Edmundo, Montecristo Edmundo. Each link opens its own live price-comparison page.

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.

From the tasting notes

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.
