Montecristo Espada
Montecristo Espada cigars are medium to full-bodied with a Habano Jalapa Vintage 2010 wrapper, Habano Jalapa Vintage 2009 binder, and Habano Jalapa Seco Vintage 2008 / Habana Jalapa Viso Ometepe Vintage 2008 / Habano Condega Ligero Vintage 2008 fillers - all carefully chosen by the Plasencia family. It's the result of an extraordinary collaboration between two renowned tobacco families, Altadis USA and the Plasencia family. This innovative blend introduces a new chapter in the storied Montecristo legacy, showcasing a modern twist on tradition. The Montecristo Espada is characterized by its bold and flavorful Nicaraguan blend, a difference from the predominantly Dominican profile that the brand is known for.
The blend provides a memorable journey through various flavor transitions, ensuring that each moment of the smoke is an exploration of taste sensations. Crafted with impeccable attention to detail, Montecristo Espada cigars showcase a sleek design that complements the opulence of the blend. The emblematic sword-shaped band pays homage to the cigar's name, "Espada," which means "sword" in Spanish. Montecristo Espada is a testament to the passion, artistry, and heritage that both the Montecristo and Plasencia families bring to the world of cigars. It's a union of tradition and innovation, resulting in a blend that captures the essence of both brands. Whether you're a dedicated Montecristo enthusiast or a cigar aficionado seeking a unique and flavorful experience, the Montecristo Espada promises a journey into the heart of premium cigar craftsmanship.
