Esteban Carreras cigars launched a new line in 2012 called the “Esteban Carreras Chupacabra,” after the creature from Central American folklore that has been scaring young children for generations. For grownups this name now signifies a great medium to full-bodied smoke made of 100% Nicaraguan tobaccos. The Esteban Carreras Chupacabra cigars are available in either a dark brown Habano Oscuro or a darker Maduro wrapper. The cigars are rolled with a closed foot and a pigtail head, and come packaged in 20 & 10 count boxes. The blend starts off slow but soon builds in flavor and strength, delivering notes of wood, spice, coffee, chocolate and good amounts of pepper on the finish. The Esteban Carreras Chupacabra cigars are a very good smoke and at a great price point that won’t scare you away, despite its name.
