Glenjamin says: “Crazy what changing the wrapper but keeping the binder and filler the same does to the smoking experience.”

Murcielago Shikaka Cigars

4.53 · 12 reviews·More from Espinosa →

The Murciélago Shikaka is a special-edition cigar from Espinosa Premium Cigars, made just for the Tobacconists' Association of America (TAA) in 2024. It uses a light Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed wrapper, the lightest ever used in the Murciélago series, along with Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. Rolled at AJ Fernandez's San Lotano Factory in Nicaragua, only 1,000 boxes of 20 cigars were made, making this a rare and highly wanted release for cigar fans.

Love the whole murcielago series, this one is buttery smooth with some vanilla and nut.

AJ blend so even though it is a Connecticut it has some bite. Bready quality with some spice. Very nice.

Had one before they were released. Pretty interesting. Wonder how they'll taste with some age.

Good balanced smoke. Worth a try

Evan Salas · TAA Exclusive 2024 Toro Oval · Sat Jan 25

A very mild cigar compared to the normal version but full of coffee forward notes. I paired it with a dessert like bourbon which definitely pairs well with this lighter and milder version. Another solid Espinosa cigar.

Espinosa has done it again. An absolutely tasty cigar with the right amount of smoothness and spice along with great construction.
