Espinosa Expands Product Portfolio
Espinosa Premium Cigars has a number of new products on tap for the PCA trade show, which begins this Friday.
“The goal was to have a lineup that feels complete,” says cigarmaker Erik Espinosa. “It’s built less around volume and more around clarity.”
Laranja Hybrid is the fourth installment of the Laranja series, a collection of cigars made with Brazilian tobaccos. The new cigar is rolled with an Ecuadoran wrapper the company calls “Habano Oscuro,” a Nicaraguan binder, and a filler blend made up of Nicaraguan and Brazilian tobaccos. It will come in two sizes, each of them box pressed: Short Churchill, which measures 6 inches long by 48 ring and has a suggested retail price of $11.50, and Toro, which measures 6 by 52 and retails for $12. They will ship in boxes of 10.
Knuckle Sandwich Chef Special 2026 is made in collaboration with celebrity chef Guy Fieri, and it’s a one-size addition to the Knuckle Sandwich line. The cigar is rolled with a Mexican wrapper, but it’s not the dark Mexican San Andrés Negro found on many maduros. Instead, it’s a lighter version called Mexican claro, which Espinosa combines with Nicaraguan binder and filler leaf. The smoke measures 6 by 54, and has what’s described as an oval pressing. The cigars will cost $16 apiece and arrive in boxes of 10.
Two 601 La Bomba Warhead Cigars are also joining the portfolio. Warhead 12 is the newest smoke in the Warhead series, measuring 6 1/8 by 58. The box-pressed cigar is made with a broadleaf wrapper and a blend of Nicaraguan binder and filler tobacco. Each will sell for $15, and they are packed 10 to the box. An offshoot called Warhead: Independence Day is making its return for the celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. The once limited-edition smoke will now be a regular release. The new version, called Warhead: Independence Day 250 Years, measures 5 3/4 by 56, is made with Ecuadorian wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler tobacco and will retail for $16 per cigar. They will come in boxes of 10.
