Espinosa Murciélago – Gordo Box Press (6 x 60)
Wrapper: Mexican San Andrés (Capa Negra)
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Factory: Espinosa Cigars
Strength: Medium to Full
Body: Full
Flavor Profile:
This larger format opens with a bold wave of dark chocolate, espresso, and deep earth, with a slightly heavier sweetness than the Toro. The San Andrés wrapper leans into molasses and cocoa, while black pepper and spice stay present but more rounded. As it develops, notes of leather, roasted nuts, and a subtle tangy edge come through, giving it that signature Murciélago richness with a smoother, slower progression. The 60 ring softens the sharpness slightly while maintaining depth.
Construction & Burn:
Box-pressed with a thick, dense feel and a dark, oily wrapper. The draw is more open than the Toro, producing heavy smoke output. Burn line stays mostly even with a solid ash, and the larger ring gauge provides a slower, cooler burn overall.
Overall Experience:
The Espinosa Murciélago Gordo Box Press delivers a fuller, longer smoking experience with a slightly smoother edge compared to the Toro. It’s still bold and Maduro-heavy, but the size stretches the profile into a more relaxed, extended session.
Burnt Leaf Insight:
This is for customers who want that Murciélago punch but in a longer, slower format. Big smoke, big flavor, but a little more laid back than the Toro. Great with bourbon or dark rum—this one’s built for a long sit.
