The Espada by Montecristo is the first Nicaraguan Puro in the famed Montecristo line-up and is unlike any cigar that has born the Montecristo logo. Rich and uber complex, the Espada Guard has emerged from a partnership with the legendary Plascencia family and the illustrious Grupo de Maestros as a truly stunning smoke.
The Espada Guard is an expertly crafted 6” x 50 stick with a hearty core of Habano Jalapa Seco, Habano Jalapa Viso Ometepe and Habano Condega Ligero filler tobaccos from 2008 that are placed in a 2009 Habana Jalapa binder leaf. Another Habana Jalapa leaf from 2010 wraps it all to complete a truly magnificent hour or so experience.
As the Espada Guard hits its stride, bold earth, pepper and spice notes send the taste-buds into hyper-drive while splashes of sweet cream and cedar keep the full-bodied endeavor balanced and refined. A nutty nuance mixes with faint touches of citrus on the charge towards a wildly satisfying finish.
Another incredible addition to the Montecristo canon, the Espada Guard is enthralling cigar enthusiasts with its quality construction, immense body and unbelievably delicious smoke. The Espada which means “sword” in Spanish is the perfect name for this new breed of Montecristo that is leading aficionados to cigar smoking glory.
