Espinosa 10 Years Anniversary to Ship Next Week
The first batch of the Espinosa 10 Years Anniversary, a cigar celebrating the company’s first decade in business, is scheduled to head to stores early next week.
The cigar is a 6 x 52 toro that uses an Ecuadorian habano hybrid wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and filler, with production handled by AJ Fernandez’s San Lotano factory. It is a limited edition, with 1,500 boxes of 20 cigars being produced, a total run of 30,000 cigars.
That first shipment will also be limited, as Héctor Alfonso Sr., the company’s director of operations, said that the first batch, which he expects to ship on Monday, will only be about 200 of those boxes. He didn’t have a specific date for when the remaining cigars would be ready to ship, though was optimistic more batches could ship over the next month or so.
The Espinosa 10 Years Anniversary debuted at the 2022 PCA Convention & Trade Show. Alfonso told halfwheel that he is hopeful that another cigar that debuted at that show, the Las 6 Provincias CMW, will be ready to ship before the end of September.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, the G-League's Valley Suns, and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
