Quick Smoke: E.P. Carrillo Short Run 2010 Delirios
20 Feb 2011
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.â€
I enjoyed this robusto when it came out early last summer, enough to go pick up a box before they were gone. Eight months of age hasn’t made this cigar markedly better, but it certainly hasn’t made it any worse. I still found the same sweet honey and graham cracker flavors. And it still has excellent balance, a long toasty finish, and flawless construction. These cigars have been sold out for some time now, but if you’re offered one I wouldn’t recommend passing on the opportunity.
Verdict = Buy.

If you are in the northern Virginia area, Old Viriginia Tobacco still had some short runs as of last week.
I must lead off by saying this one is not my flavor profile. I tried a fiver and found very little of anything from all five. I just do not get this one…a good upside was a got a pretty good deal on the five. I would much rather have an air bender chisel!
