Erik Espinosa, the founder of Espinosa Cigars, inherited his passion for cigars from his father at a young age. Since his enthusiasm started so early, you could say he had a jump on some of his competitors. Before starting his own companies, Espinosa worked as a sales representative for top brands such as Drew Estate and Rocky Patel. In 2012 Erik launched Espinosa Cigars and opened the La Zona Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.

A driving force behind Espinosa Cigars is to create a portfolio that provides cigar enthusiasts with the perfect cigar for any occasion, mood, or moment. Here is a man who is more than willing to experiment and walk his own walk. Espinosa Laranja Reserva cigars prove this point, named for their orange-hued Brazilian Laranja wrapper. Laranja is Portuguese for “orange.”

Espinosa has said he desired to release something different, how they had worked with the orange Brazilian Laranja wrapper and were excited about the results. He goes on to speak of the positive energy associated with the color and how “it is the color of enthusiasm, creativity, determination, and success” and how that’s what Espinosa Cigars is all about.

Espinosa Laranja Reserva cigars sport that stunning orange-hued Brazilian Laranja wrapper cultivated in the Recôncavo region of Brazil. Once you lay eyes on this orange leaf, it’s hard to look at anything else. It’s even harder to watch the cigar disappear as you smoke it. Maybe buy an extra to place in a glass display on your mantle? Nah, you should smoke both instead.

Resting just beneath this orange-hued beauty is a quality blend of Nicaraguan long-fillers. The flavor notes are citrus, spice, pepper, and cedar. The Laranja Reserva, which Cigar Aficionado rated the No.13 cigar of 2015, is not one to be missed. It’s also not one to stay on shelves long. Make sure to grab a box today!

Please enjoy Espinosa Laranja Reserva cigars at your leisure.
