Espinosa

Sumatra

If you’re building the ideal brand portfolio for a successful tobacco shop, the name Espinosa will be synonymous with your success. Mastermind Erik Espinosa has been behind some of the most creative smokes in the business, including, but not limited to the uniquely green, eye-popping Wasabi and the Knuckle Sandwich, which was made in partnership with Guy Fieri. Now, Espinosa has a new core line that dropped in 2024 much to the excitement of smokers everywhere. At the time of its release, Espinosa said that the new Espinosa Sumatra was filling a bit of a void in the brand’s profile. While all his cigars are celebrated, the Sumatra lines up nicely in the medium to medium-plus strength profile, perfectly suited for smokers who often find themselves reaching for a Connecticut broadleaf but who would like to expand into a category of cigars at more of a robust level. A stellar line-up commencing the start of a new year, the three-vitola line offers a 5 x 52 Robusto, 6 × 54 Toro, and a 6 × 60 Gordo size, all of which add a special wrinkle to the tasting profile. Eyes will draw to the vintage-like artwork scrolled in a royal purple hue followed by its antiqued gold hardware, which once unlocked gives way to the beautiful brown cigars resting in a traditional wooden box. Like most Espinosa cigars, they all share a flawless wrapping and a thoughtful construction expertly weaving different flavors throughout a much-welcomed elongated smoking time.The covetable cigar itself boasts an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder and filler. The use of the Sumatra leaf from Ecuador is an ideal flavor choice for smokers who appreciate a certain level of complexity when smoking a cigar. While the Sumatra seed has migrated to many different countries, the growth of Ecuadorian Sumatra has coincided with a real expansion of white pepper and spice as a favorite flavor profile. Espinosa himself called the flavor combination a pairing that makes up his ideal “wheelhouse.” Coming on the heels of what is the smash hit the Knuckle Sandwich, which there, Espinosa played with both the Ecuadorian Habano and Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper for the cigar helping it expand into a truly premium flavor profile with strong hints of roasted nuts, dark cherry, and spice - the Sumatra's spicy and nutty blend is a strong successor, causing much excitement in the cigar community.
