Here are the rough cut cigar review notes on the E.P. Carrillo Oscuro. This cigar is available in 6 vitolas, each in 24 count boxes.
- Dinamicos (Churchill) (6.8″x 49)
- Especial No.6 (Toro) (6.0″x 52)
- Nacionales (Corona) (5.5″x 44)
- Piramides Royal (Torpedo) (6.0″x 52)
- Robusto Gordo (5.0″x 54)
- Small Churchill (Robusto) (5.5″x 50)
For this review I sampled the Especial No.6 (Toro) which I purchased at the Mancave Cigar Lounge Fort Lauderdale.
Cigar Review Notes
- Dark brown wrapper with a touch of red clay color
- Pre-light scent; cocoa and vanilla
- Well capped
- Dark black tobacco just under the wrapper
- Tight draw
- Early pepper shot
- Citrus light to start with slight cream – like an orange Creamsicle
- Wonderful spice coming in
- Simple band the cigar
- Smooth felt-like wrapper
- Citrus is full even some cherry coming in
- Nice tight, toothy, medium grey ash
- Very smooth smoke
- Perfect burn
- Citrus and espresso at this point a third down
- Ash fell at inch and half
- The citrus lingers a little on the palate
- Smoke is very smooth through the retro-hale.
- Mid second third – some nut entering
- Final third a touch of spice enters
- Burn was impeccable
- Flavor terrific
- I just love the Oscuro wrapper
- Would pair well with a nice dark coffee
