Shirtless Mike’s Cigar of the Week- August 2, 2023 – Espinosa Laranja Escuro Toro

Espinosa Laranja Escuro Toro

Wrapper: Brazilian Mata Fina
Binder: Nicaraguan 
Filler: Nicaraguan

This week I am reviewing a cigar that is new to our Humidor but not new to the market, Espinosa Laranja Escuro Toro!

This beautiful cigar has a Brazilian Mata Fina Wrapper and Nicaraguan Binder and Filler and is the 2nd offering to the Laranja Line up. This cigar is a full bodied cigar.

Upon first lighting I started to taste some black pepper notes with leather in the background. I also got some dark cocoa notes and slight hints of espresso in the background. I then tasted some citrus notes the more I smoked this cigar. This cigar is packed with many transitions including red pepper, baking spice and a little bit of earthy undertones. At the halfway mark I tasted some mineral notes, notes of cedar and red cherry just to name a few.

This cigar remained full bodied throughout the entire smoking process and was a definite treat to my palette the entire time!

I know I have been mentioning that we are bringing in Espinosa for quite a while, so next time you come in ask about The Laranja Escuro we carry in 2 sizes Robusto and Toro. If you are a full bodied cigar lover this is the next cigar that you need to try! See you soon!
