Espada Oscuro Guarde

The Montecristo Espada Oscuro Guard is a full-bodied Nicaraguan puro that serves as a darker, more intense follow-up to the original Espada line. Produced at the Plasencia factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, the blend features a rare, dark Habano Rosado Oscuro wrapper that has been aged to achieve a high oil content and deep color. This leaf covers a Nicaraguan Criollo binder and a complex filler core of well-aged tobaccos sourced from the Jalapa, Condega, Estelí, and Ometepe regions. This 100% Nicaraguan construction creates a bold, sophisticated profile designed for enthusiasts seeking significant depth and strength.

The top tasting notes of the Espada Oscuro Guard are led by a rich foundation of dark chocolate, espresso, and leather. The smoking experience typically begins with a punch of black pepper and spice that gradually settles into smoother flavors of earth, oak, and cocoa. As the cigar progresses, many smokers detect a subtle, natural fruit sweetness and nuances of toasted nuts or cedar. The finish is long and robust, characterized by a persistent smoky richness and a light creamy texture that balances the blend’s intense spicy undertones.
