Espinosa Thai Tea Slated for New Year’s Eve Release
Thai Tea, a new cigar made by Espinosa Premium Cigars and released via Privada Cigar Club and the Limited Cigar Association, will be getting its release on New Year’s Eve.
The cigar uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and fillers, and is being offered in a 5 x 52 robusto vitola. Pricing is set at $10 per cigar, before taxes. The cigar was made at La Zona Cigar Factory in Estelí, although production numbers are not being disclosed.
According to a video posted by Privada Cigar Club, the cigar had originally been developed for another project, though the deal with the individual buying the cigars fell through and they became available. While such a release might normally be included in the monthly shipments to Privada Cigar Club members, Brian Desind said that due to limited supply the cigars will instead be distributed through retailers that are members of the Limited Cigar Association.
LCA retailers who purchased Thai Tea will be able to offer it for sale to their customers as of 5 pm local time this Thursday, Dec. 31.
The Thai Tea announcement also came with news that the Limited Cigar Association is now preventing its retailers from bundling LCA exclusives with other cigars in order to purchase them, as well as preventing any pre-sales of LCA exclusive releases.

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.
