601 La Bomba Warhead Independence Day 250 5 3/4″ * 56

The 601 La Bomba Warhead Independence Day 250 is Espinosa’s second annual Fourth of July release, built to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence. It carries a new blend, distinct from earlier Warheads, with a dark Ecuadorian maduro wrapper over an all-Nicaraguan binder and filler, box-pressed into a 5 3/4 x 56 and rolled at AJ Fernandez’s San Lotano factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua. The profile runs full, opening on dark cocoa, espresso, and black pepper before settling into earth and leather, with a natural Ecuadorian sweetness that builds through the second half into a long, clean finish. Production is capped at 4,000 boxes, each dressed in red, white, and blue military-inspired packaging that makes it one of the more distinctive limited editions of the year. It suits an evening or a celebration smoke, and pairs well with bourbon, espresso, or a stout.
