Altadis has long produced its Montecristo cigars in the Dominican Republic, but with the 2014 release of the Montecristo Espada, the brand ventured into Nicaragua for the first time. Expertly crafted by the renowned Plasencia family, this exceptional cigar is made entirely from specially aged Nicaraguan tobaccos grown on Plasencia’s estates. The blend features a Habano Jalapa Vintage 2010 wrapper, a Habano Jalapa Vintage 2009 binder, and a combination of Habano Jalapa Seco, Habano Ometepe Viso, and Habano Condega Ligero fillers from the 2008 harvest—culminating in a rich, complex, and deeply satisfying smoke.
