The original Montecristo Espada was the company’s first Nicaraguan puro, which was a big deal. For a company with such a rich history in the Dominican Republic and Cuba, a move like that signaled that the company was ready to try and write a whole new chapter. It was made in partnership with the Plasencias, and right out of the gate, it was on Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of the Year list. With 92 points, it was certified “tasty.”

Now, we’re pulling down the shades and basking in the earthy darkness with an Oscuro wrapper that takes the blend in a new direction.

Many blenders will follow a similar path with a popular natural blend. There are several wrapper options, but a well-fermented Maduro or Oscuro leaf is always a top choice to explore as a special edition. The Montecristo Espada Oscuro cigar has taken to the new cover leaf well. Cigar Aficionado described it as “a well-made smoke that burns evenly, delivering notes of hickory and earth with touches of ground clove and citrus.” The spiciness and acidity aren’t gone. The bright notes aren’t lost. Instead, we’re adding the earthy flavors we all love from the fermented leaf.

An “Espada” is a sword that all Montecristo fans will recognize from the company logo. As of the first release, this blade comes in a Robusto and a Churchill, so you’ve got your choice between long and short. We’d battle with these cigars if we weren’t afraid to break them. Instead, we’ll have to smoke this flavorful stick and find our weapons elsewhere.
