E.P. Carrillo Honduras Robusto Cigars
In early 2024, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo unveiled his ambitious Essence Series, a premium lineup showcasing a variety of wrappers and tobaccos from diverse origins. Following the acclaimed Sumatra and the distinctive Maduro, the EP Carrillo Honduras Robusto has made its grand entrance. This release is a tribute to the rich and flavorful profile of Honduran tobacco, a rarity for Carrillo and his team, who seldom explore this region's offerings.
Adding to its uniqueness, this cigar is handcrafted at Tabacos de Oriente in Honduras rather than Carrillo’s Dominican Republic factory. The blend features aged Honduran and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos, a Honduran binder, and an exquisite Olancho San Agustín wrapper leaf. This wrapper has been aged and fermented for over two years, resulting in a sophisticated, complex flavor profile. True to his reputation, Carrillo demonstrates masterful blending skills, making this cigar a must-try for enthusiasts.
Each cigar is presented in an elegant cedar chest with vibrant decorative accents. The blue and red bands, adorned with gold details and the iconic EP Carrillo logo, elevate its visual appeal. As expected from the "Godfather of Cigars," the construction is flawless, ensuring an exceptional smoking experience.
From the first draw, this Robusto delivers notes of oak and pepper, which transition into a creamy medley of spicy chili pepper, dark chocolate, and earthy undertones. Subtle hints of citrus, characteristic of aged Honduran tobacco, add a refreshing dimension. The finish is spicy and clean, leaning toward a full-bodied experience.
The 5” x 50 Robusto offers a perfect introduction to the blend, providing a rich, satisfying flavor in a shorter format. With its crisp burn, effortless draw, and ample plumes of blue smoke, this cigar is a testament to Carrillo’s legacy and craftsmanship.
Medium-bodied, full-flavored, and delicately balanced, EP Carrillo Honduras is a cigar worthy of a spot in any seasoned connoisseur’s humidor. The beauty of it is that even though it is a true premium cigar, the flavor profile is straightforward enough that even less-experienced cigar enthusiasts can enjoy its easy-going demeanor and use it as a steppingstone on the venture into the world of stronger Honduran cigars. It pairs well with bourbon, scotch, or medium-bodied beer and is a delight to enjoy at any time of the day. Fans of famed Honduran sticks such as Camacho Corojo or the original Punch will likely be taken for a stroll down memory lane as they enjoy the incredible nuances that only a premium Honduran cigar can offer. EP Carrillo never ceases to amaze us as he introduces the cigar world to new and exciting things on what seems like a daily basis. Enjoy the latest from this dominant force in the cigar world with EP Carrillo Honduras Robusto, and we promise you’ll be back for more.
