For the select few who grab them while they are available, smoking the E.P. Carrillo Inch Natural cigar is a like taking a master class in cigars. Big, big cigars. Ranging in size from a 60 ring gauge to the inch-wide 64 represented in the name, the Inch Natural has plenty of space available to pack full of tobacco and the EPC Cigar Company takes advantage. Years of blending experience has allowed them to pair rare Dominican leaves with stronger Nicaraguan viso filler beneath a binder also from Nicaragua. The Ecuadoran Sumatra that graces the outside is an wonderful final touch.


You don't need a PHD to enjoy the E.P Carillo Inch Natural cigar as the strength doesn't rise too far above medium at any point. The mild spices provided by the Sumatra wrapper means this cigar can be enjoyed most any time when a good coffee or iced tea is at hand. The  cigars are limited in production so for more wide-bodied Cameroon enjoyment try the Nub Cameroon or the Rocky Patel Vintage 2003 Cameroon.
