EP Carrillo’s Inch series was specifically designed for smokers that prefer larger ring sizes. As each edition’s blend was formulated, the level of strength and overall character changed. The Ecuadorian Colorado wrapper encasing this stick results in an earthy tasting full bodied, fairly strong smoke not found in it’s Natural and Maduro counterparts.

Adding a near black Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper to the Natural style edition’s fillers and binder raises the needle on the taste meter into medium to full bodied territory. So if this stick’s light coated sister doesn’t give you enough strength, here’s your choice.

I’ve been asking our Web Master for the option to add a six star to use on rare occasions without success so far. This amazing cigar would most definitely be one of those instances. If you’re a mild to medium loving smoker you’ll have to pass this powerhouse by unless you want your taste buds stress tested to a very high degree. This stick was two years in the making to get the blend just right. After an inch or so after lighting up, your senses will be enveloped in a definitive array of cocoa, black coffee, spices and pure tobacco flavors that gain strength and intensity as you cautiously move forward. This is a true HE MAN stick that is a joy to behold and worth twice the price. Buckle Up….Big time!
