Espinosa Wasabi

Erik Espinosa isn’t one to play it safe—and with Wasabi, he flips the script on what a Candela-wrapped cigar can be. Known for his innovative hits like 601, Alpha Dawg, and the Comfortably Numb series, Espinosa brings his signature boldness to a wrapper that’s long been considered old-school. The result? A modern twist that’s as unique as it is flavorful.

Rolled at his La Zona factory in Estelí, Wasabi sports a vibrant green Candela wrapper, finished with a striking dark Habano cap. But this cigar is more than just a visual statement. Beneath the surface lies a gutsy blend of undisclosed tobaccos that fire off rich notes of earth and a sharp punch of black pepper right from the start.

With its spicy edge and unexpected depth, Wasabi salutes Candela’s roots while carving out a space all its own. It’s loud, it’s bold, and it’s built for those who like their tradition with a little extra bite.
