Espinosa Cigars Details Three IPCPR Releases

Espinosa Premium Cigars has announced a trio of new cigars that will be unveiled at the 2018 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show in July.

Headlining the new releases is Las 6 Provincias LHB, a name that means The 6 Provinces, which the company calls “Espinosa Premium Cigars’ reminiscent tribute to Cuba, before its post-revolution decline.” The line is made up of six limited edition releases, each of which will pay tribute to Cuba’s six original provinces.

The first release will be LHB, named for La Habana, and is a 6 x 54 box-pressed toro packaged in a 20-count, numbered and commemorative box, with production limited to just 300 boxes.

The second new release will mark Erik Espinosa’s 20th year in the cigar industry, and is aptly named the Espinosa 20th. It’s a 6 x 46 corona larga with a Nicaraguan binder and filler underneath a habano rosado wrapper. It too is a limited edition, as the company says that the 2018 release will be limited to 500 20-count boxes.

The third cigar that the company will unveil is the fourth installment in the 601 La Bomba Warhead series. It’s a 6 x 48 short Churchill that keeps the same blend as the previous three, meaning a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper and Nicaraguan binder and filler. The 601 La Bomba Warhead IV will also be packaged 10-count boxes.

The company said in a press release that pricing for all of the releases is yet to be set, while no specific blend information will be released, other than what the company has disclosed above.  Additional information such as shipping dates have not yet been announced.

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.
