The limited edition 601 La Bomba Warhead line from Espinosa Cigars celebrated its tenth anniversary this year. The initial releases focused on a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, but the blend evolved into a Nicaraguan Puro. Although the name La Bomba Warhead suggests strength, which it has, the cigar still manages to be balanced and complex at the same time.
It begins with toasted bread, herbs, and cocoa, accompanied by a subtle sweetness in the background. The toasted aromas morph to notes of coffee, along with wood and nuts. The flavor profile shifts to a darker tone as leather and earth emerge in the final third.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Those who scored the highest among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews get re-selected. These products are then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are created.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5.
