Espinosa Premium Cigars has announced the release of the Espinosa Linked. The cigar will be exclusively offered to the ten branded Espinosa lounges nationwide. The name “Linked” emphasizes the strong connection between Espinosa and its branded lounge.
In a press release announcing Espinosa Linked, Erik Espinosa commented, “While we are thankful to all the retailers that supported us, we wanted to offer those particular shops that partnered with us something really special.”
The cigar itself features the wrapper and the size the company is known for – namely an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler in a 6 1/2 x 48 Short Churchill format. It will be packaged and shipped in a customer humidor with original artwork hand-painted by Edin Gutierrez. The art work will have an image of each lounge’s storefront.
“The Linked is blended in Erik’s wheelhouse; a medium bodied smoke with the spice notes that he and our fans love; also it was made in, what I believe, is our best vitola, the Short Churchill,” said Hector Alfonso.
Down the road, the Espinosa Linked may also feature different sizes as well as blend variations.
Production for the Espinosa Linked comments from the La Zona factor in Estelí, Nicaragua. The cigars will begin shipping to lounges this week. Pricing is set at $12.00 per cigar.
