The Espinosa Laranja Reserva Escuro is the first line extension to the highly acclaimed Laranja line. It was unveiled during the annual La Zona Palooza event. The cigars got released shortly after that, due to the success. A smoke with a decidedly unconventional flavor profile. The cigar shows a pronounced complexity and a long persistence.
It develops notes of earth, black pepper and a mix of walnut and hazelnut. Everything is supported by an intense citrus flavor. The peppery component becomes more pronounced in the second half, culminating in hot spices. Wood and balsamic herbs alternate in the finale.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews, those that scored the best score get re-selected. These products were then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared and the TOP 5 are made.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs, in order to give the right space to all the producing countries.
From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. This list, together with the Best Brands, the Best Buy and the Best Boutique Brands, will be published in Winter 2019 issue of CigarsLover Magazine.
