The much talked about Espada by Montecristo is here. The Espada is the first Nicaraguan puro released by Montecristo, combing several different Nicaraguan tobaccos. The wrapper and binder are comprised of Cuban-seed Habano leaves from Jalapa and the filler combines several different Nicaraguan tobaccos from Jalapa, Ometepe and Condega. This cigar is named after the Espada Ropera, an ornate sword worn by civilians as opposed to those used on the battlefield. The lavish character of the Espada can be found not only in the strong spicy flavors, but also in the three decorative bands and ornate box that showcases the cigars. Unlike the original Espada sword, these cigars are made to be handled and enjoyed. Get yours today.

A cigar box is a box container for cigar packaging. Traditionally cigar boxes have been made of wood, cardboard or paper. Spanish cedar has been described as the "best" kind of wood for cigar boxes because of its beautiful grain, fine texture, and pleasant odor and ability to keep out insects. Eucalyptus and yellow poplar have been popular substitutes that were sometimes stained and scented to resemble it. Other typical woods for cigar boxes include mahogany, elm, and white oak; less-popular are basswood, Circassian walnut, and rosewood. There are several types of cigar boxes, differing both in construction and purpose. There is a growing movement of guitars and ukuleles being made from cigar boxes and other materials not usually used for musical instruments. The following are common boxes:

• Cabinet selection, slid-lid or hinged lid, typically storing 25 or 50 cigars;

• 8-9-8, round-sided box with three layers, counting 8, 9 and 8 cigars respectively;

• flat top or 13-topper, two layers with 12 on bottom and 13 on top;

• boxes of box-pressed cigars, stored two layers with same number of cigars.

• Cigar boxes, labels, and bands are considered a subject of art, with businesses specializing in them and books printed on their design, meaning, and significance. As a result, cigar boxes and their corresponding labels can be considered collectible items.
