Espinosa Releases Laranja Reserva Escuro
Espinosa Premium Cigars has released the first extension to its Laranja line, the Laranja Reserva Escuro that uses a dark Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper.
Underneath the wrapper is a Nicaraguan binder and filler, with the cigar made at the San Lotano Factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua. It is offered in three sizes, all of which are box-pressed:
- Laranja Reserva Escuro Corona Larga (6 x 46) — $10
- Laranja Reserva Escuro Robusto Grande (5 1/2 x 56) — $10.50
- Laranja Reserva Escuro Toro (6 x 52) — $11
All three of the sizes are presented in 10-count boxes.
“We teased the Escuro at our annual La Zona Palooza event this past November 2018,” said Erik Espinosa in a press release. “I was just overwhelmed with how well it was received and how the people raved about it. I couldn’t wait for the IPCPR, I had to get it out to our retailers as soon as I could.”
The original Laranja Reserva line debuted in 2014 in the same three sizes as the Escuro and uses a Brazilian-grown wrapper. This new version is designed to be a fuller-bodied, fuller-flavored profile, according to the company.
The word laranja is Portuguese for orange, a nod to the distinct color of the original line’s wrapper leaf, and a color that was used on the bands of the original line.

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.
