Espinosa: Sumatra Toro Cigars

Product Number: 007-933-0083

Erik Espinosa, the founder of Espinosa Cigars, has had a lengthy history in the cigar world, getting his start in 1997 working in a warehouse before moving on to become a sales manager. After a year, he transitioned into independent brokering, leveraging the business relationships he'd developed earlier to provide a variety of brands to various sellers. In 2004, Erik partnered with Eddie Ortega to form EO Brands, the name a portmanteau of the pair's last names, which produced a number of iconic cigar lines, including the 601 and Murcielago lines. In 2010, EO Brands merged with Rocky Patel, and Eddie left the company in 2012 to form Ortega Cigars. The same year, while still part owner of EO, Erik founded both Espinosa Cigars and the factory which would come to roll almost each of their blends: Estelí, Nicaragua's La Zona. With Erik able to oversee every facet of every cigar's construction, Espinosa has become one of the most respected names in boutique cigars thanks to their consistent, quality smokes.

Introduced in 2024, Espinosa's Sumatra is the first Sumatra-blend cigar made at the La Zona factory and joins the brand's core line of cigars alongside the Habano and Crema lines. Boasting rich flavors and a medium to medium-full strength, the cigar features an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper atop binder and filler tobacco from Nicaragua, presented here in a 6 x 54 Toro vitola.

Creamy, Medium-Bodied Cigar
April 22, 2024
Product: Espinosa Sumatra Toro
The original Don Pepin Garcia-made 601 red labels were among my first favorite cigars (the current AJF versions are good too!, so I've always generally enjoyed most of the cigars Espinosa has released. The Espinosa Habano is a very good cigar at a reasonable price, and so I was quite looking forward to this one. I wish I had a Habano on hand to make a direct comparison, but I found the flavor profile to be extremely similar to the Habano. The Sumatra is a bit creamier, and maybe a bit lighter in terms of spice, but the brown sugar/molasses sweetness is the dominant flavor profile for me, which has been my experience with the Habano. I'm knocking it a star only because it runs an extra $2 for the Sumatra. That said, it's a very good cigar, and if you like the Habano, you'll like this one. It would also make an excellent introduction to Nicaraguan cigars for those coming from milder Dominican cigars in the sense that it is rich with flavor but modest with the spice and pepper. I recommend it....Read More
