Montecristo cigarillos

Montecristo cigarillos at Pair Cigar Lounge & Boutique, Dubai

Montecristo is the second most-stocked cigarillo brand at Pair Cigar Lounge & Boutique — and the broadest in terms of style. The shelf carries the regular Mini and Club tins, the slightly longer Short, the milder Open Mini and Open Club lines, and a rotating set of limited editions. All sourced through authorised Habanos channels, all stored in our calibrated humidor under stable conditions.

Montecristo in cigarillo form

The classic Montecristo cigarillo lineup runs across three core formats. Mini sits at around 82 mm in 20-count tins — the everyday short Montecristo. Club is around 87 mm and gives you a longer burn on the same medium profile. Short is the longest of the three at roughly 96 mm. Across all three, the wrapper and blend keep the recognisable Montecristo character: medium body, balanced, the kind of smoke that rewards a coffee.

The Open line — Montecristo Open Mini and Open Club — is built around a milder blend originally designed for outdoor smoking. It reads softer than the regular Montecristo cigarillos and works well as a daytime or post-lunch smoke. Pair stocks Open Mini and Open Club in 10 and 20-count tins.

Beyond the standard lineup, the page carries Montecristo cigarillo limited editions — Mini and Short tins from various release years, the occasional holiday humidor, and the scarcer Arom release.

How to choose

If you already smoke Montecristo No. 4 or No. 2, the Mini is the closest short echo. The Club is a sensible step up if the Mini feels too short. The Short is for evenings where you want a fuller burn without committing to a full cigar. The Open line is the right pick if you find the regular Montecristo too much for a 15-minute smoke.

In the lounge

Pair is a fully functioning cigar lounge as well as a boutique. You can buy a Montecristo tin at the counter and smoke one in the lounge — open every day from 11 AM to 1 AM. Torches, soft-flame lighters and ashtrays are at the lounge.

FAQ

What is the difference between Montecristo Mini and Montecristo Open Mini?

Blend. The regular Mini uses the standard Montecristo blend — medium, balanced. The Open Mini uses the milder Montecristo Open blend, designed for outdoor smoking, lighter on the palate.

Are Montecristo cigarillos a good first short cigar?

Yes — a Montecristo Mini is one of the most-recommended starting points for cigarillos. Mild to medium, balanced, forgiving of a fast draw.

Can I buy Montecristo cigarillos online legally?

Yes. If you're 18+, reserve online and collect at Pair, Jumeirah Emirates Towers, G floor. Tobacco delivery is not available in the UAE.

Do Montecristo Mini tins age well?

In the right conditions, yes — sealed tins held at 65–72% RH stay stable for years. Once opened, the cigarillos behave like any short cigar and are best smoked over a few months.
