Espinosa Laranja Escuro blend is incorporating a darker Brazilian mata fina wrapper covering Nicaraguan tobaccos in both the binder and filler. The Escuro versions are all box-pressed instead of round and are being sold in boxes of 10 instead of boxes of 20. In addition, while the first blend is rolled at  La Zona Cigar Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, the new line is being produced at the San Lotano Factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua.

While the wrapper of the original Laranja Reserva does have a noticeable orange tint to my eye, that is definitely not the case with the leaf covering the Laranja Reserva Escuro. In fact, it is extremely dark and silky smooth to the touch with quite a bit of oil but almost no overt veins to speak of. As mentioned above, the box-press is significant without coming close to what I would consider sharp, and the cigar is nicely spongy when squeezed. Aroma from the wrapper is a combination of pine nuts, hay, leather, manure, earth and honey sweetness while the cold draw brings flavors of barbecue mesquite, gritty earth, freshly roasted espresso beans and almonds along with some noticeable black pepper and honey sweetness.
