GuardI was initially excited about this new Monte. It wasn't IMO a $12 smoke though. Rich aromas yes but lacking in flavor. Honestly should be about half what it goes for anywhere and even then it'd have stiff competition351

GuardI was expecting greatness but didn't get it when I smoked it. It was decent maybe I just didn't get a good one in the sampler. Draw was okay but flavor wasn't what I wanted it to be. Was slightly peppery but not floral or sweet and the smoke wasn't creamy.451

GuardVery nice cigar. This is fantastically made with delicious flavor. Becomes spectacular around the last 1/3 or so. End up burning your fingertips. One of two I've smoked was a little tight on the end but I was able to easily loosen that up and it smoked very well. This is an excellent cigar. I bought three boxes of them to have on hand.451

GuardI bought an Espada on a whim at a local cigar store and was surprised and delighted when I smoked it. I couldn't wait to order a box from JR at the earliest opportunity. Cigars come in all types of flavors and forms and this one has become my favorite. If I knew how I'd nominate the Espada for Cigar of the Year. It's perfect in every respect.551
June 6, 2015
ROBERT K.
GuardI received my order of 5 and I had to see if these were as good as the sample one I smoked last week. No question about it. These are some of the best cigars I've ever smoked in my 30 plus years of smoking. When you lite it the draw is smooth. These are what cigar smoking is about. I will always keep some on hand.451

GuardThis was a very nice smoke for a NC Monte. For a company that has to spend so much on litigation I generally find their cigars overpriced. This one is a bit pricey but actually delivers. Lots of earthy leathery flavors medium strength and great body. Perfect burn and construction451

Isaac G.
GuardThe perfect aging cigar. I keep at least five of these cigars song for smoking and some for aging it is amazing how with every month they seem to get better and better.

GuardIt's about time Monte got into Nicaraguan tobacco. This one is dynamite! Sometimes I'm concerned by a band that covers the entire cigar. Have no fear what's underneath is lovely.451

GuardThis stick is all out FANTASTIC!! Great flavor and smell razor sharp burn. This stick isn't a everyday stick you can't just grab an go. This stick burns for over an hour and 40min to 2hrs.

GuardLike all in the Montechristo line, these cigars are supurb! The difference is the flavor profile. These are smooth and creamy and delicious. Great with coffee or conac! It's like smoking dessert!551

GuardGreat to see Monte go full bodied as well as over packaged and overpriced. Fabulous gift from a buddy, way out of my price range.551

GuardThese are fantastic. They always burn straight and have a tight white ash. Flavor doesn’t change too much but it is very good and gets stronger in the last third.551

GuardHands down my absolute favorite Montecristo; pepper (but not overpowering), spice, leather, with earthy notes. Best cigar in the Montecristo line, in my opinion.551

GuardThe Montecristo Espada Guard has a very dry grassy taste to me. I found the construction a bit tight from the other Montecristo lines. Not a stick that I would introduce to cigar aficionado! But not everyone has the same tasting notes
therefore others may find this a real tasty treat! Just351

GuardNice Maduro wrapper, with a tight draw. While not a large stick, the draw makes it a long smoke so be patient. Notes of dirt earth and cedar.551

GuardAs someone who collects all the bands this is nice. The cigar itself was well made and smoked evenly like most Montes. If you wanted, you could probably only ash this cigar once.451

GuardGreat smooth consistent draw. its packed with flavor and most importantly it is an even burn. I dont have to relight every so often, and I dont worry about taking this one down to the stub. Its price for the flavor is pretty spot on.551

GuardThis is the cigar that you want to write home about!! This is a quality smoke from beginning to end and you are sorry when it does end!
Of course people will think..it's a monte Cristo...but if everything was perfect then there would be nothing to hold as a standard..
This is worthy of being the standard.551
