Espinosa Shipping 601 La Bomba Warhead X on Monday
Espinosa’s 601 La Bomba Warhead line is about to get its 10th installment, a cigar that will begin shipping to stores tomorrow, March 4.
The Espinosa 601 La Bomba Warhead X is a Nicaraguan puro that will come in a 6 x 55 toro vitola, but one that comes in an oval-shaped press. The cigar is produced at the San Lotano Factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua.
“This year’s bomb is very special,” said Erik Espinosa via a press release. “We began teasing it at La Zona Palooza. My son worked tirelessly on the design and presentation for this release; the entire sales team has been chomping at the bit to get these to retailers. Personally, I am very happy that the PCA is in March, and we didn’t have to wait to launch the Warhead in July as usual. I have no doubt it will be the talk of the show.”
Pricing is set at $16 per cigar and $160 for a box of 10 cigars. Production is limited to 5,000 boxes, making for a total production of 50,000 total cigars.
“It’s one of several new limited cigars we are releasing at the show, but I must admit that this one is special,” said Hector Alfonso, director of operations for Espinosa Premium Cigars. “It was our first limited release, and our fans just love this cigar. With the whole team pumped up for this release, I wanted to add a little wrinkle from the previous nine releases and decided on an oval shape toro.”
The 601 La Bomba Warhead line debuted in 2013 as a stronger offshoot of the company’s 601 La Bomba line, and is known for its use of World War II imagery on the bands and packaging,

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.
