Cigar Dojo · Jun 22, 2018
The Espinosa Wasabi is the second candela-wrapped cigar from the company's La Zona factory (following the MoyaRuiz Pickle Juice ), released as a limited edition cigar for 2018. The cigars are rolled in a singular size and described as "a spicy candela," veering from the conventionally sweet and grassy profiles of candela cigars. In my experience, the description was accurate, being one of, if not, the spiciest renditions of a candela-wrapped cigar I can recall smoking. Unfortunately, the cigar's spices don't manage to overcome the style's lack of complexity, offering little more than cabinet spices, barnyard hay, and grass. Overall, Wasabi's most entertaining factor is watching as the cigar's strength increases, wondering how much further it can go past the conventional candela profile of mild/medium. The answer is quite a bit (medium-plus), but this isn't quite enough motivation to win over the non-candela crowd, in my opinion.

Strikingly green in appearance, this box-pressed candela is topped with a dark brown head. Notes of coffee and earth become quite herbal. The draw is inconsistent.

The Espinosa Wasabi didn't come with the billing of being "not your father's candela" or "the next generation of candela," but instead simply with a name that suggested it would be green and spicy, and for the most part, that is exactly what it is. The first third is the only one that led me to entertain the idea of the cigar having a wasabi-like spiciness, and whether it be the name leading the mind or the tobacco itself, there is a respectable execution of the type of physical sensation that wasabi generates. After that first third, the cigar abandons its name to become a more traditionally Nicaraguan profile, medium-full bodied with plenty of earth and pepper, whether or not that's actually what's being used in the blend. The Espinosa Wasabi is a better than decent cigar that doesn't show any rough spots, smokes fairly quickly despite some burn issues, and leaves a lasting punch of strength in its wake.

Developing Palates · Jun 20, 2018 · April 2018
Given my expectations, the spice delivery was met in spades, although I'm not too sure if I would call it a wasabi/horseradish delivery. Instead, it was more white pepper driven. What's interesting is, I rarely tasted conventional candela flavors (vegetal, grassy). Overall, if you are a fan of bigger spice in a candela cigar, the Espinosa Wasabi is no doubt for you.
