The story of Montecristo Espada is one of collaboration and innovation. By striking a deal with famed tobacco grower and cigar maker Nestor Plasencia, Montecristo's 'Grupo de Maestros' was given access to Plasencia's world-renowned library of tobaccos and state-of-the-art factory. This collaboration yielded an exquisite Nicaraguan puro, overflowing with flavor and complexity. Montecristo Espada sports a Habano wrapper from 2010 grown in Jalapa, Nicaragua and an all-Nicaraguan blend of bold, well-aged long-fillers from Jalapa, Ometepe, and Condega. This puro is a delight, offering rich and hearty notes of wood, pepper, coffee, cream, nuts, and sweetness. Montecristo Espada is elegant, refined, and incredibly complex. It was even honored with Top 25 honors for 2015 (#20 overall) and a 92-rating, noting its gingersnap spice and sweet, spicy finish. Pick one up today and experience true excellence.
