Montecristo adds a fresh chapter to its acclaimed Espada series with Espada Conquistador, a Nicaraguan puro crafted by Plasencia Cigars in Estelí. It’s built with a Jalapa wrapper, an Ometepe binder, and fillers from Condega and Estelí, coming together for a medium to full profile highlighted by creamy cedar, coffee, and white pepper. The cigars come in ten-count boxes and carry forward the attention to detail that made the original 2014 Espada a milestone for Montecristo.

Conquistador joins a line known for earning consistent 90 plus ratings across releases like Estoque, Oscuro, and the base Espada. Rafael Nodal worked closely with the Plasencia family to shape this new blend, aiming for balance, complexity, and a clear expression of Nicaragua’s major growing regions. It stands firmly within the Espada tradition while offering its own confident voice.
