Handmade in Nicaragua with Mexican San Andres wrapper and Nicaraguan tobaccos, Murcielago cigars first appeared in 2009 and quickly became very popular. After a couple of years hiatus while Erik Espinosa, the brand owner, restructured his company and worked on establishing his own cigar factory in Nicaragua (La Zona), Espinosa Cigars announces that "the bat is back". Murcielago means bat in Spanish, and the cigar is named after the bats Erik encountered while visiting a cave in Mexico. The blend has been reverse engineered by Espinosa and relaunched in 2015.

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.
Strength

Medium
Wrapper Color
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper
Mexican
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Mexican tobacco is very dark and the best leaves can be used as maduro wrappers. In San Andres de Tuxtla (in the state of Vera Cruz), there is a very interesting production of Sumatra seed wrappers. Dark air cured tobaccos are produced in Mexico, mainly in Vera Cruz and Tampico provinces, on the East Coast along the Gulf. There is also some production in Yucatan. Mexico's volcanic soil yields tobacco that is spicy and earthy, with a very distinctive flavor.
Binder
Nicaragua
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.
Filler
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
AJ Fernandez
Cuban expatriate AJ Fernandez produces handmade cigars in Esteli, Nicaragua at the Tabacalera Fernandez factory. Fernandez learned everything he knows about tobacco and cigarmaking from his late grandfather, cigar legend Alejandro Robaina.

Tom Gumm Why isn't your Gordo shown here? I was able to buy these in New Orleans but they are not sold here.

NeptuneCigar.com At this time the manufacturer only produces 3 sizes, the ones seen on this page. What size was the Gordo you purchased in New Orleans(length/ring gauge)?

THOMAS G.08/30/2022About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52

I have looked many years for a cigar with the characteristics of this one. The medium blend of this cigar is just right for me.

Andrew M.08/13/2022About: Murcielago Rabito 6"1/2 * 46

Great draw and flavors. No complaints

Theodore Z.06/29/2022About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52

Murcielago Toro - This full-bodied gem requires some time to fully enjoy and appreciate. It is slow even burning, packed with slightly sweet aroma and flavors of earth and leather that dominate gentle overtones of dark coca and roasted nuts! If you are desiring, or if you are searching for, a smooth, hardy, full-bodied smoke with no bite or peppery aftermath, and delivers gentle notes that are slightly sweet without hindering the pleasures of full-bodied cigars, and where each puff yields generous amounts of smoke that do not irritate the eyes, then this is it! You have found it! Enjoy! This is a wonderful cigar experience that you will not forget, and will keep you coming back for more! Thank you NEPTUNE for offering us such wide varieties of cigars.

Jose M.06/24/2022About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52

Awesome

05/31/2022About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52

One of my favorites , a very strong cigar .

John Y.04/05/2022About: Murcielago Robusto BP 5" * 54

What can I say. When my regular sources couldn’t get me these sticks, I came to Neptune. This cigar, I have found to be one of the most consistent around. I can always depend on the wonderful strength and spiciness, the nice firm texture, the easy draw and the abundance of smoke. The size is perfect for a quick, midday smoke. Try some. You won’t regret it.

Scott Byron03/20/2022About: Murcielago Robusto BP 5" * 54

Full bodied , Awesome flavor and aroma. My personal favorite with an afternoon coffee or a glass of Bailey's in the evening.

Gabriel A.02/15/2022About: Murcielago Robusto BP 5" * 54

Excellent flavor. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking these up.

Brad V.02/15/2022About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52

My new favorite, perfect draw, spicy start and bold flavors all the way down to the fingertips.

Not for me

Ronnie P.12/29/2021About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52

Smoked a ridiculous number of these in 2021! One of my all time favorites. Spicy cocoa puffs is the best way to describe this one when it gets in gear!

A good stick with a great draw and burn. A little more mild flavor than expected but still good

Philip B.08/19/2021About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52

Ok but was hoping for more to it unfortunately

Fernando C.07/30/2021About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52

Solid cigar for the price… surprised me. 2nd time ordering.

Omer H.07/15/2021About: Murcielago Robusto BP 5" * 54

Had this bad boy for the first time last weekend. Appearance-wise this is one of the coolest looking cigars. It drew attention immediately from my friends and jump-started a hefty conversation (even before I lit it). The first draw was intimidating, it burned perfectly, but the taste was off. After giving it a few blows, I was blown away by the depth of flavors, the aroma, and the richness of the smoke. Overall I highly recommend this stick to intermediates who don't feel afraid of something a tad different.

Benjamin R.07/08/2021About: Murcielago Robusto BP 5" * 54

A very smooth draw with a medium taste. I enjoy pairing it with a smoky whiskey

Ruthie M.06/05/2021About: Murcielago Robusto BP 5" * 54

heavy flavored, too strong head ache

SH L.06/01/2021About: Murcielago Rabito 6"1/2 * 46

Full of character

Ivon05/16/2021About: Murcielago Robusto BP 5" * 54

excellent construction. very pleasant aroma pre light. dark bold flavors on an earthy background. pairs very well with bourbon. not not a strong cigar as far as nicotine kick but definitely would challenge the pallet of an inexperienced smoker. consistent from start to finish not very complex and does not have a lot of transitions. not my preferred flavor profile but I can see those who love boldness enjoy this very much.

tim05/11/2021About: Murcielago Robusto BP 5" * 54

Very good smoke pairs well with a bourbon.

Eric S.05/04/2021About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52

Francisco T.03/09/2021About: Murcielago Robusto BP 5" * 54

Prefer the longer ones but this one is fine in a bind.

Francisco T.03/09/2021About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52

An amazing box pressed version of the regular Rabito.

Joaquin O.03/03/2021About: Murcielago Robusto BP 5" * 54

The Murcielago Robusto BP is a beautiful dark black cigar made by Espinosa Cigars in collaboration with AJ Fernandez. “Murcielago” is the Spanish word for bat. The combination of a dark Mexican San Andres wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder and filler represents what a premium cigar should be. When I first saw this stick, its dark color made it look like a strong cigar, but the first draw quickly provided a mix of sweet spices, earth, and cocoa notes. I found this to be a solid medium cigar from start to finish. The burn line and burn path remained relatively straight, and the resulting ash was nearly white in color with some dark speckling. I found this cigar had excellent combustion as it maintained an ideal burn rate and burn temperature with an amazing draw. There was plenty to hold my interest in this cigar, and I found it cigar maintained an excellent flavor from start to finish. I would recommend it to an experienced cigar enthusiast. If you are looking for a cigar that emphasizes flavor over strength, Murcielago Robusto BP is going to be the cigar for you.

Doug S.02/24/2021About: Murcielago Robusto BP 5" * 54

Love it!

Hamad A.02/08/2021About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52

Beautiful sitck! a powerhouse smoke

Junior S.12/16/2020About: Murcielago Rabito 6"1/2 * 46

Burnline can be an issue that mexican wrapper will do that. But the flavors are great and so is the smoke output. Love seeing a cloud of smoke.

Israel D.12/15/2020About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52

Big fan of the Mexican San Andres Maduro wrapper. Sweet tones of cocoa.

al t.11/07/2020About: Murcielago Robusto BP 5" * 54

Amazing stick amazing price box worthy

Ralph M.09/10/2020About: Murcielago Robusto BP 5" * 54

I purchased two sticks, I smoked the first one and was not very impressed. Bit of charcoal/pencil wood notes and a bit metallic flavors. Not a bad cigar by any means, its just not necessarily the flavor profile that I enjoy.

08/14/2020About: Murcielago Rabito 6"1/2 * 46

Ull enjoy this stick all the way to the nub with a good kick

Sergio P.08/08/2020About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52

Definitely worth a try

Felix G.07/09/2020About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52

great cigar

Semois_Ligero06/30/2020About: Murcielago Robusto BP 5" * 54

indeed i was seduced by the band. however, it does hold itself up. a sexy SA wrapper, pressed with solid heft in hand, the draw and aroma are tops. the burn can go wild if pursued too aggressively. it's taste (smoke) is rich, chewy, velvety & smooth. the retro yields a nice spicy finish that lasts. if you haven't tried this yet, i suggest you do. it will serve the dual purpose of a one off novelty for yourself (or as a gift); as well as a legitimate placeholder in your humidor.

Maurice R.06/25/2020About: Murcielago Rabito 6"1/2 * 46

Don't let the appearnce fool you, it offer a very mild smoke. A good early in the dat cigar, pair with a good strong cup of coffee.

Andrew M.06/07/2020About: Murcielago Robusto BP 5" * 54

Excellent cigar. Flavors are bold and tasty. Perfect draw

Leo R.05/12/2020About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52

Found this gem in a grab-bag sampler and quickly became a favorite in the rotation. Check off all the boxes

Zach Z.04/28/2020About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52

Espinosa is definitely not on my preferred mfg list, however this cigar blew me away. It is a very tasty cigar. Box worthy one my opinion. It’s actually the cigar that made me realize I absolutely love the Mexican San Andres wrapper/binder sticks. Burn was great. Age these for 6 months to a year and you won’t be disappointed.

Duane C.01/31/2020About: Murcielago Robusto BP 5" * 54

Amazing smoke, glad I bought more than one.

Chuck V.01/26/2020About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52

This one is really dark and chocolaty. Good construction and burn time. I will definitely keep a few of these in my stash.

Van R.12/29/2019About: Murcielago Rabito 6"1/2 * 46

I really didn't like this cigar. Mushy, not as well crafted as I expected, and I found the taste bitter.

Jose B.12/28/2019About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52

Amazing for the price

Guillaume k.12/14/2019About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52

John F.04/24/2019About: Murcielago Rabito 6"1/2 * 46

Better than expected. Surprisingly different from the old red label Murcielago. Medium strength and a nice sweet and spicy profile.

Jonathan O.04/18/2019About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52

Amazing Stick, full of flavor.

02/02/2019About: Murcielago Rabito 6"1/2 * 46

The bat is back with a vengeance. Espinosa is a can't miss.

Kenneth M.12/11/2018About: Murcielago Robusto BP 5" * 54

Nice and spicy. Full bodied and full of flavor. Lots and lots of smoke which I love. Definitely keep this in rotation

Larry W.10/18/2018About: Murcielago Robusto BP 5" * 54

Strong start mild finish

Ozzie H.10/06/2018About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52

Excellent

justin F.09/27/2018About: Murcielago Robusto BP 5" * 54

A decent little stick that did not have any defining notes throughout the smoke. The tobacco flavor was solid and there were hints of some sweetness in the last third. It is what I would put in the “morning coffee” category. Only a few touch-ups required and the draw was good - just slightly on the tight side.

Jermaine W.04/26/2018About: Murcielago Robusto BP 5" * 54

Nice Medium to full

Marwan A.03/10/2018About: Murcielago Toro BP 6" * 52
