Admittedly I really enjoyed this cigar. Upfront the construction was impressive; loved the double band action. The flavor was very appealing to me, I got a creamy butter with some changing spice throughout. I did have a heck of a time with the draw as it was super tight. I originally went with a punch but loosened it up with a straight cut. I definitely think this is worth the price.

Purchased a couple of boxes of these as I am familiar with the reputation of EP Carrillo and his contributions to the cigar industry so I thought how I could go wrong. Construction was meticulously done with a beautiful outer leaf and a real nice firmness to the touch. Once it was lit it had a medium draw but I did observe that it took some time to start to discover the flavors that were at first hidden. After about 10 minutes or so the complexity started with mild spiciness appearing and soon a light earthy, caramel flavoring became apparent. The cigar was of medium body and showed me, at other times, hints of leather with touches of peppery flavors throughout the experience. What I also really liked was the wonderful aroma that the cigar produced along with a nice, steady burn and firm ash throughout the smoke. After reflecting on these cigars I would say that they are a tad young so I do plan to mature these for a few months and try them again as I am sure that they will improve with age. Many would say that for $13.00 a stick there are many other cigars out there that can compete, but, considering that these are of limited production they are, in my humble opinion, definitely worth the purchase for my enjoyment.

Who would have thought a cigar could taste like potato, olive, and cork? Muy interesante. At 13 bucks a throw I might wonder if it’s only tobacco they’re putting in there. Thanks for the cutting-edge review!

Sounds like an impressive smoke, even if the price means I won’t be dipping in for a whole box. Ill definetly want to pick up a 5er.

IMO, carrillo is one of the few people in the industry with the track record to be able to price fis very first cigar in that range.
