It's not often that a green (candela) cigar becomes the most sought-after blend within a series, but that is exactly the case with Espinosa's limited Wasabi cigar.
Wasabi was originally released in 2016 as part of Espinosa Premium Cigars' special Backroom Series, where unique blends became available strictly to Espinosa-branded lounges across the country. It wasn't long before the reviews poured in, with Wasabi suddenly appearing on the radar of collectors and enthusiasts across the country.
The cigars are the creation of Héctor Alfonso Sr., Director of Operations for Espinosa Premium Cigars and blender of many Espinosa projects. For Wasabi, the goal was to create a new experience that stood out from the pack, with a profile unlike the mellow candela cigars smokers are familiar with. For starters, Wasabi is box-pressed, a format you'll be hard-pressed to find on a candela-wrapped cigar. But it's the top-secret blend that really sets the cigar apart, described by Espinosa as a "spicy candela," known to pack a creative profile of white pepper, lemon grass, bell pepper, barnyard hay, and fresh jalapeños!
Country of Orgin : Nicaragua
Strength : Medium
*Please note that all SKUs have two product lines. The top line is the box/bundle count. The second line is less than a box/bundle count and will be shipped as loose cigars in a humidified bag.

Nice medium body cigar. Certainly has an interesting taste but everything I've had from espinosa has been great, this one is no different. If you're looking for something different to try that is on the "spicier" side give this one a shot!

For being a Candella wrapper, this is one of the best candellas I've had. Very good flavor and also a light smoke.

My favorite candela. Excellent construction and draw. Medium+ strength. Full body. Earth and spice, balanced with a nice sweetness from the flawless wrapper.
