EP Carrillo Inch No. 62
EP Carrillo Inch No. 62
Created specifically for smokers who appreciate a broad ring gauge without sacrificing balance, the EP Carrillo Inch No. 62 is a 5 x 62 gordo blended around substantial dimensions rather than simply scaled up from a smaller vitola. Ernesto Perez-Carrillo built the Inch line to deliver flavor and composure in a larger format, and this size remains one of its most recognized expressions.
The blend combines an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder and long-fillers that include Nicaraguan viso and Dominican Piloto Cubano, Corojo, and Criollo ’98 tobaccos. That recipe gives the cigar a medium to full-bodied profile marked by cocoa, spice, and a smooth, creamy finish. In this 5 x 62 format, expect roughly 60 to 90 minutes of smoking time depending on pace.
The Inch No. 62 has also earned notable critical attention, including a 90 rating from Cigar Aficionado, reinforcing its reputation among fans of fuller, slow-burning large-ring cigars. For smokers drawn to generous dimensions and a blend with depth rather than blunt strength, this is a thoughtfully composed option from one of the industry's most accomplished blenders.
