Montecristo's Grupo de Maestros struck a deal with the Plasencia family that gave them access to their tobacco, and Espada is what came of it — a genuine Nicaraguan puro from a Dominican house.
Bright, clean and quite unlike anything else wearing the band. Sweet cedar, pepper and a mineral edge. Four sizes including a seven by fifty-six Quillion.
Wrapper: Nicaraguan Jalapa
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan long-filler
Strength: Medium to full
Sizes: Guard (6.0" x 50), Ricasso (5.0" x 54), Quillion (7.0" x 56), Magnum Especial (6.0" x 60)
A Montecristo that tastes nothing like a Montecristo. That is precisely the appeal.
