"Flavors and construction were all good throughout. However, the format is on the larger size and the smoke time being as long as it was with a profile this linear has me a little bored by the end. This would be a great smoke with morning coffee, but I’d prefer it in a smaller size. " -Bill C. (Bill)
Espinosa Premium Cigars has announced a new exclusive cigar for Binny’s Beverage Depot called “The Expo." This is part of Binny’s “Four Star Society” series, which
gets its name from the City of Chicago’s flag that features four stars across it.
Espinosa Premium Cigars has announced three new releases for the 2018 IPCPR Trade Show:
The Knuckle Sandwich maduro might be my favorite cigar of the last year, and this one comes close to it. It is more refined, but without the power and spice that define the Knuckle Sandwich Maduro. I only have one of these cigars and I can't wait to pick up more to age and enjoy. This collaboration between Espinosa and Guy Fieri knocks it out of the park at every opportunity, and everyone should try a Knuckle Sandwich whether it's this one, or one of the other options.

·"The first two third ebbed and flowed with that savory meat and cappuccino creaminess and finally a dry cedar but I think the last third really takes a bunch away from the overall smoking experience. I feel like this cigar was made to experience with great friend and even better conversations. Making it a good everyday smoke." -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)
Espinosa Premium Cigars has announced the 601 La Bomba Warhead VII. This, as the name would imply, is the seventh in the series of limited cigars. The 601 La Bomba Warhead VII (7) is a 7 x 50, box-pressed Churchill. The blend is the same as previous releases consisting of a Nicaraguan broadleaf wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and fillers.

·"This was a decent smoke for me. The cigar had a lot of flavor notes that I like such as leather, coffee and cocoa. The added hickory and campfire were nice also. I sort of wish the initial mix of spice and mixed peppers would’ve stayed on longer, albeit in the background. The cigar became more monotone for me as it progressed but it still remained a tasty smoke and I would definitely revisit it again with a nice espresso or Cuban coffee." -Diana (ArmyRN)

Cubariqueño Cigar Co. has announced their fourth regular production line: Protocol Sir Robert Peel. This is a regular production cigar that will make its debut at IPCPR 2019. Protocol Sir Robert Peel will come in both natural and maduro blends, a first for the company to offer more than one blend of a line. Like all other Cubariqueño cigars, it is rolled at Erik Espinosa’s La Zona Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
2018 was the first time Cigar Dojo and Cubariqueño Cigar Co. collaborated on a cigar, "Protocol K9." The next year the duo released "Protocol Night Stick." And now, in 2021, we get the "Protocol Taser." The idea of all their collaborations has been instruments of law enforcement, now including the tactical taser. It is a valuable asset to many law enforcement agencies as a non-lethal way to incapacitate perpetrators.
