E.P. Carrillo Essence Series Connecticut Robusto

E.P. Carrillo Essence Series Connecticut Robusto

Crafted by the "Godfather of Cigars," Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, the Essence Series is his ultimate exploration of the charm of single-origin wrappers in his blending career. This Connecticut Robusto features a golden, oily, and silky Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. Unlike the common mild cigars on the market, this creation maintains an extremely delicate and smooth texture while achieving a complexity and strength that can surprise even Cuban cigar aficionados, thanks to the precise blending of aged tobaccos within. It is not only a perfect choice for all-day enjoyment but also an elegant elevation of the "Connecticut style."

First Third: Upon lighting, a burst of creamy notes reminiscent of premium white chocolate and roasted cashews emerges. The smoke is exceptionally clean and light, with a delicate undertone similar to Davidoff or high-end Cuban cigars, completely devoid of any grassy harshness, showcasing an ultimate smoothness.
Middle Third: As it transitions to the middle, the core flavor evolves into rich roasted walnuts, cedarwood, and a hint of honey sweetness. The inclusion of Nicaraguan binder and filler adds a well-balanced structure to the originally delicate profile, giving the nutty oils a velvety smoothness on the tongue. The flavor development is incredibly nuanced.
Last Third: Towards the end, the flavor shifts to deep hay notes and a refreshing mineral finish. Thanks to Ernesto's rigorous fermentation process, even when smoked to the very end, it maintains astonishing purity. The aftertaste has clear creamy nutty notes, with a long and never dry finish.

• "Essence" Blend by the Godfather of Cigars: Represents Ernesto Perez-Carrillo's modern definition of classic Connecticut leaf flavors, pursuing ultimate balance and elegance.
