EP Carrillo Essence Maduro Gordo
EP Carrillo Essence Maduro Gordo
Built around a dark Mexican San Andrés wrapper, the EP Carrillo Essence Maduro Gordo brings a richer expression to the Essence series without losing the balance that has become a hallmark of Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s work. This medium-bodied cigar is handmade at Casa Carrillo in the Dominican Republic with a Honduran binder and Nicaraguan fillers, giving the blend depth, sweetness, and a steady undercurrent of spice.
In the 6 x 60 Gordo format, this cigar offers a broad, unhurried smoke that generally lasts about 75 to 100 minutes, depending on pace. Expect notes of coffee, dark chocolate, sugar dust, and black pepper, with the larger ring gauge giving the blend plenty of room to show its creamy texture and dark, rounded character. EP Carrillo Essence Maduro Gordo is a strong fit for smokers who enjoy San Andrés flavor with measured body rather than overwhelming strength.
