Quick Smoke: E.P. Carrillo Short Run 2011 Delirios

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

I was a big fan of the 2010 version of Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s Short Run cigar, enough to secure a box before they sold out. So I was  excited to try the 2011 edition. It’s a medium-bodied smoke with woody notes, pleasant cafe au lait flavors, and a slight sourness. Construction was good up until the end when the wrapper fell apart on me. The 2011 Short Run is not a bad cigar, but the obvious comparison is to the 2010 Short Run, which I found to be a superior cigar.

Verdict = Hold.
