The Espinosa Murcielago Shikaka TAA Exclusive 2024 had all the Connecticut shade that I look for and enjoy. From a baseline of sweet and creaminess to surrounding notes of wood and spices, this is what it should be. Well done.
The flavor profile of the Espinosa Sumatra Toro was overall an enjoyable one. Tons of creaminess in cedar, stone fruit and coffee. But the creaminess didn't overwhelm as it did a good job of interplaying against the aforementioned notes. Slight tick down for the construction of burn and draw (but not a material one). With all that said, I'd be happy to smoke more of these.
Espinosa Premium Cigars is proud to announce the release of the Espinosa Sumatra. Made at the La Zona Cigar Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua; the Espinosa Sumatra is the newest eponymous core line release, joining Espinosa Habano and Espinosa Crema.
The Espinosa Linked is made exclusively and available only to the ten (10) branded Espinosa Lounges throughout the United States. We named the cigar “Linked” to emphasize the strong connection between ourselves and our lounges.
A couple main thoughts on the Espinosa 10 Years Anniversary. First off, this is very familiar Espinosa territory given it's flavor profile, which is a good thing. But how is this 10 year anniversary special? The good thing is, the cigar is well priced, pretty much in line with their regular production Habano offerings. Special "anniversary" aside, I recommend this one.
The Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Maduro Corona Gorda R offers up some fairly full strength flavors, surprisingly more intense than the Habano, which I was not expecting. I enjoyed the first and second thirds but given the intensity of the flavors, this cigar might be a bit too much for a lot of smokers. I would definitely smoke the Knuckle Sandwich Maduro again.
Espinosa Premium Cigars has announced the release of two anniversary cigars that will debut at the PCA in July 2022, the Espinosa 10 Years Anniversary and the La Zona 10 Year Anniversary.
This Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Habano Corona Gorda R is the exact wheelhouse of Espinosa that I like. Deep flavors creating a rich, sweet and spicy experience. Typically, when a product is backed by a celebrity, it's a bunch of bullshit. But not this one. If you're a fan of the typical Espinosa offerings, you will not be disappointed in this one.
The Espinosa Laranja Reserva Azulejo Toro took me all over the flavor intensity map, starting with a medium-full experience and leading all the way down to light-plus and nuanced. I would smoke the Laranja Reserva Azulejo Toro again as this cigar falls directly into my wheelhouse. If you're a fan of more intense pepper or spice notes, this might be a good choice for you too.
Espinosa Premium Cigars is proud to announce that they have teamed up with restaurateur, Emmy Award-winning TV host and cigar smoker, Guy Fieri, to create his own line of premium cigars, Knuckle Sandwich.
