Quick Smoke: E.P. Carrillo Atlantic 15th Anniversary Toro
28 Dec 2012
Each Saturday and Sunday (and on special occasions midweek) we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,†“hold,†or “sell.†This Quick Smoke is part of our “Win a Big Box of Cigar Swag†contest. Leave a comment and be subscribed to our free email newsletter to enter. Full details here.
Released by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo (along with the Oliva I recently tried), this Toro is part of a series of cigars celebrating Atlantic Cigar’s 15th year of business. It features a maduro Brazilian Habano wrapper around Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos. The result is an extremely balanced cigar with medium-bodied flavors, particularly milk chocolate, coffee, and cedar. It’s another impressive creation by Carrillo with notable amounts of sweet, earthy flavors. Combine that with flawless construction and it’s easy to recommend.
Verdict = Buy.

Ernesto is a true blending magician!
this sounds great!!
That toro sounds right up my alley. I'm putting it on my list to look for.
I've never had an E.P. Carrillo that I didn't like, so I will have to try this one for sure.

Thank you for the kind words Patrick.. Ernesto has the midas touch for sure!
Just added to the wish list
E.P. Carrillo cigars are one of my favorite cigars, I would have to think that this one would also be.
Any cigar Ernesto has been involved with has been great IMO. Can't wait to try this one.
