Montecristo Espada Guard

Montecristo Espada Guard Cigars

The Montecristo Espada Guard represents a historic milestone for one of the most storied names in the cigar industry. This 6" x 50 toro is the first Montecristo to be crafted entirely in Nicaragua, born from a landmark collaboration between the blending experts at Altadis and the legendary Plasencia family. This partnership proved to be a masterstroke, as the blend earned a remarkable 92 rating from Cigar Aficionado and secured the #20 spot on the prestigious Top 25 Cigars of 2015 list. Moving away from the brand's milder roots, the Espada is a bold, 100% Nicaraguan puro wrapped in a rich, four-year-aged Habano Jalapa leaf, supported by a five-year-aged binder and a complex filler core from the Jalapa, Ometepe, and Condega regions.

Adorned with a trio of elegant bands, the Guard makes an immediate impression of luxury. The flawless, mocha-hued wrapper gives off a deep, woodsy aroma that perfectly sets the stage for the first light. Upon ignition, the palate is treated to a sophisticated profile of rich leather and warm spice, rounded out by an astounding nutty finish. As expected from the Montecristo lineage, the construction is impeccable, delivering a smooth, effortless draw and a razor-sharp burn line. This is a full-flavored masterpiece designed for the aficionado who seeks the classic Montecristo prestige with a modern, Nicaraguan soul.
