    Espinosa - that was unexpected. I don't think I've tried a lot of his stuff. I think the last blend I tried of his was the Wasabi, and it was really good.

    Anyone who can blend a smokable candella deserves a chance. Espinosa partnered with EPC, if I am recalling correctly, on the original Mercelago cigar. His factory, produces the Protocol lines, Moya Rueyes, at one point some of the La Sirena lines. Not sure the on the current La Sirena lines they kinda fell off the radar and are not widely available anymore.

    On an unrelated note its had to not count Don Peppin Garcia and Lito Gomez up there as well.

    Amen to the candela quote. I remember the original la sirens blowing my socks off. Didn't know he blended it. Will have to give his blends a second try

    First La Sirena was out of My Father. Later runs moved over to La Zona (Espinosa). One of the Port Hole blends was his for sure.
