Espinosa Announces 601 La Bomba Warhead VII
Espinosa Premium Cigars has announced the upcoming release of the seventh installment in its 601 La Bomba Warhead series.
The 601 La Bomba Warhead VII is a Nicaraguan puro, using Nicaraguan-grown broadleaf for the wrapper. It is offered in a 7 x 50 box-pressed Churchill vitola that has an MSRP of $10 per cigar and comes in 10-count boxes. It was produced at AJ Fernandez’s San Lotano factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua, with an initial run of 2,000 boxes produced for 2021.
According to Héctor J. Alfonso Sr., the company’s director of operations, the company is anticipating having to make more based on the demand of previous versions. He did note that the cigar will cease production after December, as the line is limited to the year of its release.
The 601 La Bomba Warhead series launched in 2013 as a stronger version of the 601 La Bomba, which is itself one of, if not the strongest offerings in the 601 brand’s portfolio.
The company will have the cigar on display at the 2021 PCA Convention & Trade Show, which runs from July 10-13 in Las Vegas. Alfonso said the cigar is scheduled to ship in August.
Update — Shortly after this story was published, the company confirmed a tentative shipping date, which has been added to the story.

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.
