Montecristo Espada Oscuro Guard

The Montecristo Espada Oscuro Guard is a striking 6" x 50 toro that brings a darker, more intense dimension to the celebrated Espada line. Handcrafted in Nicaragua by the legendary Plasencia family, this full-bodied puro features a rare Nicaraguan Oscuro wrapper—fermented longer for deeper flavor and richer color—over a bold blend of aged tobaccos from Jalapa, Condega, and Ometepe.

From the first draw, the Oscuro Guard immerses the palate with complex layers of dark chocolate, espresso, black pepper, and roasted earth. The aging process of the Oscuro wrapper lends a velvety texture and naturally sweet undertone that balances the cigar’s spicy character. Construction is flawless, offering a consistent burn, smooth draw, and satisfying smoke density.

As a standout vitola in the Montecristo Espada Oscuro line, the Guard is ideal for seasoned enthusiasts who enjoy deep, complex cigars with a bold finish. Best enjoyed with peaty Scotch, aged rum, or dark roast coffee.

Now available at The Tobacconist of Greenwich, where every cigar is stored under optimal conditions to preserve its strength, flavor integrity, and luxurious performance.
