The Montecristo Espada Oscuro Ricasso is a robust 5" x 54 cigar that brings bold intensity and dark richness to Montecristo’s renowned Espada lineup. Handcrafted by the Plasencia family in Nicaragua, this full-bodied Nicaraguan puro features a specially fermented Oscuro wrapper grown in Jalapa—delivering enhanced depth, strength, and complexity.
From the first puff, the Ricasso envelops the palate with notes of espresso, black pepper, and dark chocolate, followed by earthy undertones and a touch of molasses-like sweetness. The thicker ring gauge offers a cool, voluminous draw, while the compact robusto format provides a concentrated burst of flavor in a shorter smoking session.
A standout in the Montecristo Espada Oscuro series, the Ricasso is perfect for those who enjoy bold, well-structured cigars with dark, nuanced profiles. Pair it with a bold red wine, barrel-aged rum, or rich espresso to amplify its complexity.
Available now at The Tobacconist of Greenwich, where all cigars are stored under optimal conditions to ensure superior flavor, construction, and freshness.
