Montecristo and famed tobacco grower and cigar maker Nestor Plasencia struck a deal that would give Montecristo’s blending team, known as the ‘Grupo de Maestros,’ unrestricted access to Plasencia’s world-renowned library of tobaccos and state of the art factory. With this new cooperation, the Grupo de Maestro’s spent months creating a perfect blend unlike any Montecristo had ever produced before. A Nicaraguan puro cigar that’s overflowing with flavor, far from the norm, exceptionally blended, and a welcomed addition to the iconic Montecristo brand.
Meaning ‘sword,’ Espada makes full use of Plasencia’s unique tobacco archive and employs a gorgeous Habano wrapper from 2010 grown in Jalapa, Nicaragua. Encased is an 100% Nicaraguan blend of bold, well-aged long-fillers from Jalapa, Ometepe, and Condega which were each specifically selected for their strength, flavor, or body. The result is an exceptionally well-balanced cigar, layered with rich and hearty notes of wood, pepper, coffee, cream, nuts, and sweetness. Montecristo Espada is truly a complex and world-class cigar.
Montecristo Espada received Top 25 honors for 2015 (#20 overall) and a well-deserved 92-rating noting: ” offering the spice of a gingersnap with touches of cinnamon that build to a sweet, spicy finish.”
