Espinosa Cigars is shipping the second installment of its Backroom Series, a cigar called Eminent Domain that heads to a handful of retailers today.

Espinosa Cigars Eminent Domain

Eminent Domain is being released in a single 6 x 50 toro vitola, priced at $9.50 per cigar and packed in 10 count boxes. The company is not disclosing the blend of the cigar, other than to say that the wrapper is a “rustic habano” and that it is a medium bodied cigar.

The cigar will be available at just 10 retailers across the country, which are Espinosa lounges and hangouts, according to a press release from the company:

  • Smoke Inn — Margate, Fla.
  • Cordovas — Pensacola, Fla.
  • Executive Cigar — Simpsonville, Ken.
  • The Stogie Smoke Stop — Dayton, Ohio
  • Pipes and Pleasures — Columbus, Ohio
  • Allegheny Smoke Works — Pittsburgh, Penn.
  • Blue Smoke of Dallas — Dallas, Texas
  • ZT Cigars — Oklahoma City, Okla.
  • Burn Premium Cigar — Burnsville, Minn.
  • West Coast Cigars — San Jose, Calif.

Eminent Domain is being added as a regular production release, joining The Alibi in the Backroom Series. It is made at Espinosa’s La Zona Cigar Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.

In August 2016, the company announced seven other additions to the Backroom Series: Wasabi, Reggae, Quixotic, Double Standard, Cosmos, Bootleg and Serum.

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.
