Espinosa works with Cigar Dojo again
Espinosa works with Cigar Dojo again. The two reunite to showcase a fresh take on the duo’s offbeat pet project, introducing the Psychedelic Turtle II.
“What are the ingredients of a great blockbuster sequel? More color, more action, more EVERYTHING! All the while sprinkling in familiar callbacks to the original… what’s not to love? This is the Psychedelic Turtle II in a nutshell, or half shell, if we may,” Eric Guttormson writes in a press release.
Psychedelic Turtle
Psychedelic Turtle II brings back the vibrant feel and turtle-pressed shape, now boasting high-grade tobaccos from the vaults of A.J. Fernández and his northernmost factory of Ocotal, Nicaragua. This includes selections from Nicaragua’s Condega, Ometepe, and Jalapa growing regions as filler. The recipe is bound in a Jalapa leaf and finalized with a Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper. With this, Espinosa is taking the experience into darker and uncharted territory.
“In 2019 we released the Psychedelic Turtle. It was one of our more unique and fun projects we have collaborated on. We really wanted to revisit the cigar but make it even better. Yhe Espinosa team came up with a blend that, in my opinion, could be one of their very best,” comments Guttormson, owner of Cigar Dojo.
Bundles
Psychedelic Turtle II continues where the original left off, releasing the cigars in multicolored bundles; for this release, the selections are Sublime, Go-Mango, Panther Pink, Top Banana, and Plum Crazy. This now continues to the foot decoration, where each bundle contains cigars bound in Sublime, Go-Mango, Turquoise Turtle, Top Banana, and Plum Crazy ribbons. And as with the original 2019 release, Psychedelic Turtle II bundles have randomly been stuffed with the rare “golden ticket” prize. That is aninvite to Espinosa’s 2021 La Zona Palooza festival, held at the company’s headquarters in Hialeah, FL. While there were only three “golden tickets” in the 2019 release, there will be 10 tickets in circulation for Psychedelic Turtle II.
Erik Espinosa, owner of Espinosa Premium Cigars, comments, “Just like Sarsaparilla, when the Dojo and Espinosa get together, we make magic. Here is the new Psychedelic Turtle with a delicious dark wrapper, which makes this Turtle even funkier than before. It’s delicious, and for an extra treat, a ticket to LZP21.”
Psychedelic Turtle II will be offered exclusively through partner and online retailer JR Cigar. 500 bundles of 10 cigars will go live on August 6, 2021, at 12 pm (Eastern Time). Pricing is set at $89.95 MSRP per bundle, though a 10% off coupon will be made available to Dojoverse.com app members.
