Montecristo Espada Estoque Vintage 2002 No. 2 6" * 50

Symbolizing a Spanish Matador's sword, the Montecristo Espada Estoque is a fully-Nicaraguan torpedo-shaped cigar brought to you in part by the Plasencia family. Using top shelf Cuban-seed tobacco grown in the Jalapa valley, along with premium Corojo and Criollo, this medium to full-bodied beauty cuts no corners when it comes to flavor. Black pepper leads the way at the start, and notes of espresso and leather intertwine and satisfy the palate. Smooth and wonderfully constructed, the growing partnership between Montecristo and Plasencia is one that any cigar aficionado should (and will) be extremely excited by.
