  Murcielago

  Handmade in Nicaragua with Mexican San Andres wrapper and Nicaraguan tobaccos, Murcielago cigars first appeared in 2009 and quickly became very popular. After a couple of years hiatus while Erik Espinosa, the brand owner, restructured his company and worked on establishing his own cigar factory in Nicaragua (La Zona), Espinosa Cigars announces that "the bat is back". Murcielago means bat in Spanish, and the cigar is named after the bats Erik encountered while visiting a cave in Mexico. The blend has been reverse engineered by Espinosa and relaunched in 2015.
• Cigar Shape
  Robusto

  The Robusto is a short Churchill size, traditionally 5 to 5.5 inches by a 50 ring gauge.
• Cigar Section
  Box-Pressed (Square)

  A box pressed cigar is a cigar that has a square shape. Originally, this shape came from the practice of packing round cigars tightly in cardboard boxes which are then compacted using a manual press. The cigars are thus pressed into each other and become a "squarish" or semi-square shape. Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.

  This cigar is 5 inches long, or 127 mm.
• Origin
  Nicaragua

  Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
  Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

• Cigar Wrapper
  Mexican

  The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
  Mexican tobacco is very dark and the best leaves can be used as maduro wrappers. In San Andres de Tuxtla (in the state of Vera Cruz), there is a very interesting production of Sumatra seed wrappers. Dark air cured tobaccos are produced in Mexico, mainly in Vera Cruz and Tampico provinces, on the East Coast along the Gulf. There is also some production in Yucatan. Mexico's volcanic soil yields tobacco that is spicy and earthy, with a very distinctive flavor.
• Cigar Binder
  Nicaragua

  The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
  Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.
• Cigar Filler
  Nicaragua

  Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
