5/5
The Espada is one of my favorites!!
These particular Monte's are truly exceptional. The construction of them is nearly perfect. The burn is razor sharp even all the way to the nub. The volume of smoke is just right. But my favorite element of these Espadas is the taste. I'm not one of those guys who thinks they taste wild cherries or blue cheese in a cigar. I rate the taste on consistency and sheer enjoyment. The Espadas deliver that flavor! I'd rate it just on the stronger side of medium/mild. And there is no harsh or bitter taste anywhere in the entire smoking experience. Plan at least 45 minutes to an hour with one of these cigars.. It is time well spent.
