EP Carrillo Inch No. 62
EP Carrillo Inch No. 62
Blended specifically for a large-ring format, the EP Carrillo Inch No. 62 is a 5 x 62 cigar that reflects Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s long-running interest in giving big gauges their own distinct character rather than simply scaling up a smaller blend. The line was built around oversized vitolas, and this No. 62 delivers the broad, slow-burning profile that made the Inch series a recognized name among fans of fuller, thicker cigars.
Expect a medium to full-bodied smoke with notes centered on cocoa, spice, and a creamy finish. The blend is built with Nicaraguan Viso and Dominican long-fillers including Piloto Cubano, Corojo, and Criollo ’98, finished in either an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper or a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper depending on the version. In this 5 x 62 format, a measured smoking pace generally puts it in the neighborhood of 75 to 105 minutes.
The No. 62 also earned a 90 rating from Cigar Aficionado, adding useful third-party recognition to a cigar already known for its substantial ring gauge and steady, flavor-forward profile. It is a natural fit for smokers who appreciate broad-gauge cigars with richness, body, and enough balance to keep the experience composed rather than overpowering.
