Montecristo pushed Espada into darker territory here, with Plasencia rolling a Nicaraguan puro under a rare Habano Rosado Oscuro wrapper. The 6 x 50 Guard sits in the medium-full range and layers chocolate, cocoa, earth, white pepper, and a little fruit over a sweet tobacco core. Richness takes the lead, but the profile stays smooth and polished instead of heavy. Expect dark roast flavor with a faint caramel-like sweetness hanging on the edges.
