Espinosa Cigars had two cigars on our Top-20 2025 cigar list so they were no doubt one of our first stops at this years convention and tradeshow –  PCA26.

Showcasing an impressive lineup of new releases it was hard to pick one to try first.  However, these are the hard decisions we are built for.  The first cigar we tried was the Las 6 Provincias Miami – but before we get into that let’s take a look at Espinosa’s 2026 releases and re-releases:

FROM THE SHOW FLOOR

The first cigar we were able to get our hands on was the Las 6 Provincias Miami.The PCA tradeshow is always a hard place to try cigars for the first time.  The days are filled with smoking cigars one after the other at every appointment you go to.  Sometimes it’s hard to get a good read on how that cigar performs due to the excessive palate abuse.  However – As soon as I lit up the Las 6 Provincias Miami there was no mistaking it’s rich and bold character.

It cut through the abuse from the day and immediately delivered full flavors with a full, creamy body, full strength, spice and an aroma that somehow managed to deliver amazing traits through the smoke of the thousands of other cigars being smoked on the show floor.  For any Espinosa fans – the Las 6 Provincias Miami is going to be a must try – even a new favorite – something to sit back with and savor.
