Montecristo Espada Guard - Toro (6 x 50)

Marking a bold milestone for the brand, the Espada by Montecristo stands as the first Nicaraguan puro ever released under the Montecristo name. Deeply rich and layered with complexity, the Espada Guard is the result of a celebrated collaboration with the Plasencia family and the acclaimed Grupo de Maestros, delivering a cigar experience that feels both powerful and refined.

The Espada Guard is crafted in a classic 6” x 50 size and built entirely from vintage Nicaraguan tobaccos. Its core features 2008 Habano Jalapa Seco, Habano Jalapa Viso Ometepe, and Habano Condega Ligero filler tobaccos, supported by a 2009 Habana Jalapa binder. A beautifully aged 2010 Habana Jalapa wrapper completes the blend, producing a rewarding smoke that lasts around an hour.

As the cigar develops, bold notes of earth, pepper, and spice take the lead, driving the full-bodied profile with confidence. Balancing the intensity are layers of sweet cream and cedar, while a subtle nutty character and faint touches of citrus emerge as the experience builds toward a rich, satisfying finish.

A striking addition to the Montecristo portfolio, the Espada Guard continues to impress enthusiasts with its flawless construction, commanding flavor, and distinctive character. Named after the Spanish word for “sword,” the Espada line fittingly represents a sharp and decisive evolution from Montecristo, offering a bold new direction for those seeking depth and adventure in every draw.
