Smoking a Master Open Series
Look at the Master Open cigar and you will note bumps and veins on the wrapper, golden with a beautiful oily sheen. Pre-lit, the foot emits scents of cedar and hay. The pre-draw reveals a robust and earthy profile with sweet caramel and a tang of barnyard.
Upon lighting the Master Open Series, you’ll note that the first draws may be tight. They do open up, offering a consistent burn throughout. The smoke is aromatic and oily, redolent with wood and nuttiness.
In the first third, the spiciness makes room for more subtle notes like cocoa and coffee. The middle third exhibits a slight bitterness blended with fresh cream, along with a well-rounded balance of butternut sweetness, cedar, and high citrus tones.
In the final third, the cigar finishes with a medium-strength denouement that is uncharacteristic of Cuban tobacco. It’s this final third surprise that contributes to the cigar’s popularity among collectors.
