The sixth and possibly final installment of Espinosa Premium Cigars’ Las 6 Provincias Series, the ORT, is on its way to stores today.

The cigar is named for Oriente, the easternmost of the country’s six original provinces, and it’s a a 6 x 56 box-pressed toro that uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper and a Nicaraguan binder and filler. The blend was developed by Espinosa Premium Cigars and produced at the San Lotano Factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua.

“We are very proud of this series,” said Hector Alfonso, director of operations at Espinosa Premium Cigars, in an e-mail to halfwheel. “From the cigars to the individual packaging, the opportunity to showcase the Cuba of old, prior to that disastrous revolution, was very special to us.”

Espinosa launched the Las 6 Provincias Series in 2018. Each cigar is named for one of the original six provinces of Cuba and features artwork by Edin Gutierrez as well as distinct packaging that celebrates each province’s culture.

Oriente is no longer a province in Cuba, as in December 1976, the Cuban government reorganized the island into 14 provinces and what was called a special municipality. In 2010, a 15th province was added when the La Habana province, which did not include the city itself, was divided into Artemisa and Mayabeque. Today, the area that was once considered Oriente is the home of five provinces: Granma, Guantanamo, Holguín, Las Tunas and Santiago de Cuba.

The company has not gone on record as saying if the release of the ORT marks the end of the series, and there has been speculation that a seventh release could be added. The company has also not said if it might re-release the earlier releases.
