Espinosa Wasabi Robusto is a 5 x 52 box-pressed cigar handmade at the La Zona factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. Immediately recognizable by its bright green Candela wrapper and contrasting dark Habano cap, Wasabi was created to deliver a bolder and spicier interpretation of the traditionally mild Candela cigar.
Originally introduced as part of Espinosa's Backroom Series, Wasabi was described simply as a "spicy candela." Espinosa has kept the binder and filler tobaccos undisclosed, making the unusual Candela presentation and distinctive flavor profile the focus of the blend. The Robusto is packaged in boxes of 10 cigars.
