The EP Carrillo New Wave Reserva, a part of the Elite Series, was originally revealed to cigar aficionados at the Inter-Tabac Cigar Show in Dortmund, Germany in 2014 and it’s an revamped version of the popular, New Wave Connecticut blend. EP Carrillo, who has more than 20 years’ experience in the cigar business including being the man in charge of La Gloria Cubana brand, took his time to blend this unique and high-quality Connecticut cigar just right in his own factory in the Dominican Republic. The Elite Series New Wave Reserva uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, Connecticut broadleaf binder and a filler blend from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. If you’re a fan of EP Carrillo cigars, then you'll definitely enjoy the complex aroma of white pepper, toasty, nutty, creaminess, vanilla, and woodsy notes. The New Wave Reserva Connecticut will be a fine addition to your humidor as this cigar is perfect to smoke any time of the day.

I like EPC smokes so i try out everything that the make at least once. This one was not bad but it didn't move me like some of his newer offerings. It is something that can be enjoyed almost anytime of day and would be a good intro to the brand for novice smokers

Great size for this blend
Tried this one for the first time in the robusto and wasn't that moved but recently I tried it in the 6x60 and found it to taste like a completely different cigar. Lots of woody notes and a bit of spice that wasn't present in the smaller gauge. Definitely will smoke again

This is a super slow burner. Took me just over 2 hours. I enjoyed it with some nice spiked lemonade and a neighbor's house warming. Will definitely be trying it i a shorter format ad i don't always have the luxury of such a long smoke. Over all very consistent and flavorfully with a hit of power.

Sweet and savory
Delish, such a creamy sweetness, almost reminds me of the Bavarian cream donuts @ Dunkin. Needless to say it pairs well with coffee or port due to it's slightly sugary nature.

Lots going on here. Nice big gauge without getting up to the 60s. Not too strong but it's definitely no lightweight. Flavor wise...lots of creamy sweet Tones with that cedary butter flavor coming from the wrapper.

Picked up one of these in a churchill sampler. It surprised me as I have never been a big CT seed wrapper fan. Nice sweet profile to balance out the buttery wrapper. Glad I stumbled upon this one.

EP Carrillo New Wave Reserva Corona Extra
Sleeper Smoke
This really caught me off guard. I wasn't expecting all the complexity i got out of it. The closer to the band I got the more it amped up. By the end it was completely different from when it started. Oak, nougat, light pepper and coffee were a couple things i picked up on...but I'm no pro, i just know i really enjoyed it.

Gotta say I wasn't a big fan of the first New Waves...they just left something to be desired. That space had been filled with theses reservas. Better rounded & richer flavors

This is what makes Ernesto’s so great. Always burns perfect, no touch ups. Great volume of smoke on all his cigars. Always smooth with great flavor. Ecuador is making some of the best wrappers. Think he has moved beyond rookie stage in his blending lol.
