Montecristo Espada Guard Toro (6x50 / 5 Pack)

Montecristo tradition meets Plasencia’s legendary tobacco. The result is Espada—a 92-point Nicaraguan puro unlike anything else in the Montecristo portfolio.

The Montecristo Espada represents a remarkable collaboration between two of the cigar world’s most respected names. Montecristo’s renowned Grupo de Maestros joined forces with the legendary Plasencia family, gaining access to their extraordinary library of Nicaraguan tobaccos and generations of cigar-making expertise.

The goal was ambitious: create a Montecristo that remained true to the brand’s reputation for refinement while showcasing the strength, richness, and complexity of Nicaragua. After months of blending and experimentation, the result was Espada—Spanish for “sword”—a sophisticated all-Nicaraguan cigar with a character distinctly its own.

At the center of the blend is a beautiful 2010 Habano wrapper grown in Jalapa, Nicaragua. Beneath it lies a carefully selected combination of premium Nicaraguan tobaccos from Jalapa, Ometepe, and Condega, with each region contributing its own distinctive elements of strength, body, aroma, and flavor.

The result is a richly layered yet exceptionally balanced smoking experience. Expect evolving notes of seasoned wood, black pepper, roasted coffee, cream, toasted nuts, and natural sweetness, all working together with the structure and complexity expected from a world-class Nicaraguan puro.

Despite its bold Nicaraguan foundation, Espada never sacrifices the elegance associated with Montecristo. The richness is balanced by creaminess and subtle sweetness, creating a cigar that offers complexity without becoming overwhelming.

Its pedigree has earned serious recognition. Montecristo Espada received an impressive 92-point rating and was named the #20 Cigar of the Year in Cigar Aficionado’s 2015 Top 25, earning praise for its combination of sweet spice, cinnamon-like character, and a lingering spicy finish.

For Montecristo enthusiasts, Plasencia followers, and smokers who appreciate refined Nicaraguan puros, Montecristo Espada offers an exceptional meeting of heritage, terroir, and masterful blending.

92 Points. Top 25 recognized. Pure Nicaraguan character. Add Montecristo Espada to your humidor and experience what happens when Montecristo craftsmanship meets the extraordinary tobaccos of Plasencia.
