EP Carrillo Inch No. 70
EP Carrillo Inch No. 70
Created for smokers who appreciate an extra-large format without giving up blend definition, the EP Carrillo Inch No. 70 is a 7 x 70 cigar built around Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s answer to the demand for substantial ring gauges. This vitola uses an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and a filler blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos, delivering the medium to full-bodied character that made the Inch line a standout among big-ring cigars.
Expect a profile centered on cocoa, spice, and a creamy finish, with enough richness to keep the oversized format engaging rather than one-dimensional. The No. 70’s broad 7 x 70 dimensions also make it a cigar for an unhurried occasion, typically smoking for about 2 to 3 hours at a relaxed pace. A 90 rating from Cigar Aficionado helped confirm what many large-ring enthusiasts already knew: this is a well-made, flavorful cigar that treats size as part of the experience, not the whole story.
