Espinosa is kicking off the new year by releasing a new core line, the Espinosa Sumatra, which is also the first Sumatra blend to be made at the La Zona Cigar Factory.
“This is just another example of us finding the right cigar to fill a void in our portfolio,” said Erik Espinosa, via a press release. “It’s right in my wheelhouse, nutty but with the spice note I love,” he noted.
The blend of the cigar features an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder and filler. The Espinosa Sumatra is being offered in three vitolas:
- Espinosa Sumatra Robusto (5 x 52)
- Espinosa Sumatra Toro (6 x 54)
- Espinosa Sumatra Gordo (6 x 60)
“Unlike the Laranja Azulejo or the Knuckle Sandwich Maduro, this has its own distinct and unique flavor profile,” said Hector Alfonso, director of operations at Espinosa Premium Cigars. “This is (a) great cigar for us to start off 2024,” he added.
