EP Carrillo New Wave Connecticut

[lenguamor]

Smoked a NWC robusto at EPC thanks to Ernie Carillo and the fabulous Hernandez brothers.

A couple of things stood out to me smoking this great cigar: one, the flavor and complexity. Rare in a Connecticut, the depth and breadth of this stick blew me away. And this wasn't just power for power's sake; this was a flavor bomb. The combination of a long bout with the flu and the fact that this was the 3rd cigar in just a matter of hours prevented me from discerning any individual nuances, but they were there nonetheless.

And the other thing that stood out was that this lacked any of the bitterness, sourness or off-flavors which often accompany a Connie wrapper. This was sweet and without anything off-putting.

I was impressed, but then again it's blended by Ernesto Carillo so excellence should come as no surprise.
