Going into this review, I knew almost nothing about the Espinosa Comfortably Numb Vol. 4. However, I did review the Espinosa Comfortably Numb Vol. 1 back in 2019, and I don't remember being all that impressed. That said, over the past few years, Espinosa has made some amazing cigars, specifically the Knuckle Sandwich Maduro Corona Gorda, which I loved.
Initial Thoughts
The Espinosa Comfortably Numb Vol. 4 toro, with it's psychedelic colors, is a very eye-catching cigar. The greens, yellows, and oranges of the label stand in stark contrast to the medium-brown, Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper leaf.
On the cold draw, the flavor of the tobacco was very green and under-aged. Also, while inspecting the cigar, I found what could be a hollow spot behind the label, and I suspected significant draw issues. However, once lit, the Espinosa Comfortably Numb Vol. 4 toro was somewhat sweet and delicious.

Final Thoughts
I was able to smoke the Espinosa Comfortably Numb Vol. 4 toro for about 70 minutes. And, for the most part, it was pretty good. The flavors were pretty good. The construction was pretty good.
Though it wasn't overly impressive it was… you guessed it – pretty good. The hollow spot that I noticed early didn't develop into anything super negative. In fact, other than it being squishy, I barely noticed it.
I didn't love the flavors that were a little citrusy and sweet, but they were good. And, though the hollow spot didn't impact the experience, it was there. For these reasons, the Espinosa Comfortably Numb Vol. 4 toro earns a CigarScore 4.
