Espinosa 20th Anniversary Heads to Retailers
The Espinosa 20th Anniversary is on its way to retail shelves this week, as Erik Espinosa took to Facebook to announce that the 500 boxes have been received at the company’s Miami offices and sent on their way to stores.
The cigar, which debuted at this year’s IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, celebrates Espinosa’s 20 years in the cigar business—though he said it’s actually been 21 years—by way of a 6 x 46 corona larga with a Nicaraguan binder and filler underneath a Nicaraguan habano rosado wrapper. It is packed in 20-count boxes and priced at $10.90 per cigar and $219.80 per box, before taxes.
The cigar is made at the company’s La Zona Cigar Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
Espinosa told halfwheel that he didn’t want to make a big deal out of the anniversary last year, though finally relented at the request of his son, Erik Espinosa Jr. The cigar has been made specifically for his preferred size and profile.

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 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.
