Montecristo Espada Oscuro

Montecristo Espada Oscuro cigars are full-bodied with a Nicaraguan Habano Oscuro wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and Nicaraguan filler tobacco. It's the third installment and fuller version of the original Espada line, with a rare Habano Oscuro wrapper. This blend is a result of the collaboration between two tobacco powerhouses, Altadis USA and the Plasencia family. They are hand-rolled in Esteli, Nicaragua, at the Plasencia factory. The initial draw reveals intense pepper and espresso undertones, gradually evolving into a delightful medley of dark cocoa, leather, and a subtle sweetness. Buy a box now!

The Montecristo Espada Oscuro is characterized by its bold and flavorful Nicaraguan blend, a difference from the predominantly Dominican profile that the brand is known for. It is blended by Grupo de Maestros but made by the Plasencia family. The emblematic sword-shaped band pays homage to the cigar's name, "Espada," which means "sword" in Spanish. There are several sizes to choose from, including Quillon and Guard. All come in counts of 10, with each black wooden box displaying white sword sketches. Experience the evolution of the classic Montecristo profile in a bold and exciting way, shop now!
