Espinosa Laranja Azulejo Robusto is defined by its rare Brazilian Arapiraca binder, which adds a savoury, earthy dimension to a bold all Nicaraguan filler blend. Handmade at AJ Fernandez’s San Lotano factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua, this medium to full bodied box pressed Robusto Grande presents a dark Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper and delivers a slow burning, richly textured smoke.
The 5 1/2 x 54 format combines an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper with a Brazilian Arapiraca binder and Nicaraguan fillers drawn from the country’s key tobacco growing regions, including Estelí, Jalapa, Condega, and Ometepe. The blend develops with dark earth, cedar, leather, roasted nuts, black cherry, mocha, dark chocolate, coffee, white pepper, paprika, and warm baking spice. Its broad, box pressed shape offers a comfortable hold and an even draw.
Azulejo takes its name from the blue glazed decorative tiles associated with Portugal, reflected in the line’s blue accented presentation. It is a structured, flavourful choice for an evening smoke or for experienced smokers who appreciate Nicaraguan tobacco depth balanced by sweet spice and a long, earthy finish.

I prefer this over the knuckle sandwich maduro and the knuckle sandwich off menu.
