You could write volumes of prose on the long journey of what is now known as Espinosa Premium Cigars. None of it would be possible without the Alpha Dawg himself, Erik Espinosa. What a long, strange trip it’s been to get where he is today. To keep it short, he got his start in the industry as a cigar broker in southern Florida and quickly developed a desire to become a brand owner. He first launched EO cigars with his close friend Eddie Ortega and had cigars made by Pepin Garcia in Nicaragua. When Garcia could no longer commit to producing their blends, the duo split. Erik formed Espinosa Premium Cigars and opened his own factory in Nicaragua called La Zona where many of his cigars are made today. There’s so much more to this story, but Erik is one of our favorite people in the industry- honest and trustworthy as the day is long. It’s one of the reasons his brand has developed a cult-like following. He says what he means and does what he promises.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of their brand, Espinosa cigars has released the Espinosa 10 Year Anniversary. It is available in one size and production is limited to 1500 boxes. Each of these commemorative cigars are handmade in Nicaragua at AJ Fernandez’s San Lotano factory. The blend uses Fernandez-grown Nicaraguan filler and binder tobaccos along with a elegant looking Nicaraguan Habano Hybrid wrapper also grown by AJ. Tasting notes include flavors of cedar, earth, and pepper along with hints of baking spices, coffee, cocoa, and the slightest hint of ginger (sweet and spicy). This is one heck of a celebratory blend and we can’t wait to see what the next 10 years will bring!
