E.P. Carrillo Short Run 2023 is the third edition of the Short Run Series.
Unlike the others, this Short Run is being made in Honduras by Oscar Valladares Tobacco & Co. using an Ecuadorian habano binder over a Nicaraguan binder and Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos.
The results? Think notes of cedar, cocoa, and a subtle hint of spice creating a nuanced and sophisticated smoking experience. The medium to full-bodied profile ensures a satisfying smoke for aficionados seeking depth and complexity in their cigars. With this in mind, it’s no surprise Halfwheel rates it at 91. No doubt, this cigar is another winner for Ernesto and Oscar as well!

When you have a chance, click the “Ask Richie” icon on the upper left hand side of the screen and check out the “Bundles of Joy” article. It was just a matter of time before Ernesto Carrillo joined the club of offering hand made premium cigars for around $3 that we could readily enjoy every day without guilt. This edition is just that. The difference between this value brand and many others is the Master Blender behind it. This five country blend produces a complexly balanced medium bodied stick yielding a great aroma, easy draw and wonderful taste. Thank you Ernesto for thinking about us mere mortals!

This is yet another occasion that a sixth star should be added to this stupendous cigar’s rating. Achieving a score of 96 and being named the #1 cigar of the year for 2018 should say enough.

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.

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!
