Laranja Reserva Cigars owe its name to the Portuguese word for "orange", as in the orange-color Brazilian wrapper that is used to make this premium cigar. Espinoza cigars makes this cigar by hand in their Nicaraguan factory, using a wrapper leaf from the region of Reconcavo, Brazil. The flavorful and fragrant wrapper is paired with robust fillers from Nicaragua.
Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

While Erik Espinosa’s Laranja Reserva Azulejo is the third installment in the popular Laranja series, it is full of firsts. Its imposing but savory dark chocolatey Ecuadorian Sumatra-seed maduro wrapper is the first time Espinoza has used this capa on a regular release cigar. Underneath is a Brazilian Arapiraca binder, which is the first time Espinosa has used this sought after leaf in a binder. The filler is a delectable fusion of Nicaraguan leaves from this Central American country’s top-tobacco producing regions. The Azulejo cigar gets its name from the Portuguese for a tile that has a blue glaze. The Laranja Reserva Azulejo is a full-bodied smoke that is handmade at AJ Fernandez’s San Lotano factory in Nicaragua.

Ecuador is the perfect place to grow wrappers, because it is located on the Equator! And it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the wrapper plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. Ecuador supplies Connecticut and Sumatra type wrappers to many cigar factory in the world.

The Laranja Reserva Escuro is an extension of Espinosa Cigar’s already popular Laranja line. Only this time, Espinosa replaced the original orange-hued Brazilian wrapper with a very dark and sweet, Brazilian Mata Fina that shrouds a Nicaraguan binder, which is stuffed with long-filler tobaccos from Nicaragua. A full-strength, full-bodied stick, the Laranja Reserva Escuro has a flavor profile that consists of espresso, dark spices and hickory for a smoking experience designed to satisfy the flavor-starved aficionado. The Laranja Reserva Escuro is superbly hand crafted at AJ Fernandez’s famed Tabacalera Fernandez factory in Nicaragua.
