Default Gifted a Esencia Cigar.
My little brother is a waiter here in Vegas. One of his guests is involved in Esencia Cigars. The gentleman asked him if he smoked, and he said no, but my brother does. So I now have an Esencia waiting for me at his place. My little brother said they were good people.

I know nothing about them, or their cigars other than the quick Google search. Anyone have an experience with the people of Esencia, or their cigars?

The owners of Esencia and Palio are good people and BOTLs. One of them is a member here (OpusEx). He is a good friend and epitomizes top notch customer service.

I'm wondering who your brother's guest was who is "involved" with Esencia.

btw - Esencia is one NC I would never turn down. Excellent cigar.

It would only be one of a small number of people LOL

A finer group of people you will never meet. And the cigars are absolutely fantastic. You will definitely enjoy them.

Great cigars but a bit hard to find. A Nicaraguan puro to my recollection. You wont be disappointed with this smoke.

+1 to everything said. Great cigars. The pc is firecracker of a cigar. The lancero is just as good. I'm afraid I like the churchill the most and I hear it is hard to find.

I'd also like to say I have met and herfed with the owner and he is a great BOTL with great taste in cigars. If he is making it I'll be smokin it!

I've been wanting to try one for a long time. I've only heard good things. If they make cigars half as nice as their cutters, they would be a treat indeed!

Great cigars. They are one of my favorites. I even have the Esencia Palio.

I think the lancero was part of the limited edition gift set that came with the cutter.
