Sweetness, spice, earth, and dark wood hit first on the Ricasso, then chocolate and white pepper settle into the mix. Rolled as a 5 x 54 double robusto, Espada Oscuro By Monte Ricasso uses fully aged Nicaraguan tobaccos under a rare Habano Rosado Oscuro wrapper for a bold, smooth smoke. Montecristo’s work with Plasencia gives this shorter size a chewy, concentrated character that never feels rushed. It smokes like a compact pour of dark cocoa, spice, and woody depth.
