Description
Espinosa Laranja Reserva is one of this company’s highest rated cigars. To begin with, Erik initially worked is sales with brands like Camacho, Drew Estate, Rocky Patel, Gurkha, and Alec Bradley. Since beginning Espinosa Cigars and the La Zona factory in Nicaragua in 2012, he is now know as one the industry’s finest boutique cigar makers. Today he oversees every aspect of his production.
With attention to detail, the Laranja Reserva is the first Espinosa cigar incorporating a Brazilian wrapper. Laranja which is the Portuguese word for orange, hence the orange tint. Underneath this unique wrapper are vintage grade Nicaraguan filler and binder leaves. The result is what you’d expect.
At the time of its release, noted reviewer KATMAN says it was Espinosa’s best cigar to date with a draw better than perfect. The critics at Cigar Dojo rate it a stellar 93 and rave. “Full flavor, full strength, full everything! An abundance of flavors, combined with premium tobaccos with a nice body to back makes this an absolutely stellar cigar.”
Not to mention the best words of praise by Cigar Aficionado. “Laranja serves as a bright and flavorful showcase for the wrapper, offering plenty of graham cracker flavor. We also detected a distinctly citrus-like quality and zest.” They give this jewel a score of 94 bestowing it one as of the top 25 cigars of the year.
To sum up, Espinosa Laranja Reserva comes in six popular sizes of 20 count boxes including a rare size Lancero.

When this edition hit the streets in 2021 C/A quickly bestowed it with a 90 rating and gave us their impression;
“A box-pressed toro with a dark, silky wrapper and lopsided cap. The excellent draw and burn deliver an interesting medley of mocha, nuts, black cherry and clove.”
