Taking its cue from its iconic logo (of three pairs of swords forming a triangle) the Montecristo Espada Signature is a collaborative creation by three cigar industry greats: Rafael Nodal, Altadis U.S.A. Grupos de Maestros, and the Plasencia Family. Working in concert this impressive trio have developed the Espada by Montecristo Signature. This is a Nicaraguan puro that uses carefully aged tobacco, which has been grown on the Plasencia Cigars farm in Nicaragua. The Montecristo Espada Signature joins the famous Espada line, which includes the Estoque and Oscuro.
