Great news for those who enjoy dark, chocolatey, and chewy smokes because Erik Espinosa’s famous Laranja Reserva cigar is now available with a sultry Mata Fina wrapper to become the Laranja Reserva Escuro. The gorgeous Brazilian leaf that coats each vitola like a candy shell adds a touch of strength to the same blend of the finely-aged Nicaraguan longleaf filler and binder found in the original, bumping the potency to a rich Medium-Full. To ensure a steady supply of what is certain to become the favorite cigar of innumerable aficionados, Espinosa decided to have these premium sticks rolled at AJ Fernandez’ bustling San Lotano factory instead of his own smaller La Zona, so you know the quality is top notch.
While admiring the Laranja Reserva Escuro gilded band and reveling in the cigar’s box-pressed beauty, resist the temptation to read the word ‘Escuro’ as the more familiar ‘Oscuro’. They carry the same meaning but the former’s Portuguese origin is more appropriate to the dark, oily, and toothy wrapper’s Brazilian provenance. A cold draw through the skillfully rolled filler offers hints of dark cocoa, cedar, and spicy red pepper, a collection of robust tastes that bear fruit once the cigar is aflame. Sitting atop these base flavors, a variety of savory and sweet essences bring both excitement and intensity, from rich espresso and mesquite barbeque to marzipan, caramel malt, vanilla bean, and a touch of blood orange tartness.
If you enjoy the Brazilian-wrapped profiles of the CAO Brazilia or San Lotano Dominicano, the latter of which is surprisingly not rolled at its namesake factory, it’s your duty to try some Laranja Reserva Escuro cigars. Well-priced for the enjoyment you’ll receive each and every time you smoke one, especially if paired with a simple Caipirinha cocktail, you’ll marvel at Espinosa’s skill and foresight in crafting such a fine upgrade to an already marvelous smoke.
