2024 / Espinosa 09: The Day Off robusto

[cabaiguan juan]

Interesting back story on this cigar (or amazing marketing by Privada cigars, take your pick). But in summary it’s a 7+ aged cigar made by La Zona for some now defunct cigar brand that Privada acquired from La Zona. Add on a interesting name that pays homage to Ferris Bueller Day Off for some odd reason and this is what you got:

1. Lots of black pepper on the retrohale but otherwise very smooth and creamy. Almost like a Crème and a Habano from Espinosa’s core line got it on and had a baby. Medium bodied.
2. Almond extract. Wheat. The retrohale gives me a bit of pepper.
3. Pepper builds and the strength picks up along with it. Almond extract still there. Medium +.

Very good. Wait until Privada’s Thanksgiving sale and pick some up.
