E.P. Carrillo INCH No. 62 Natural
- Would you care for a whisky?
- Just one INCH
- Don't you want a whisky first?
- What a way to go!
This N°62 natural is one of the smaller cigars in E.P. Carrillo's INCH range (5 modules in all), but it's already making a big impression! Well-dressed, with two golden rings, draped in a silky cape and firm to the touch, this cigar could be a wrestler who fears nothing. It's easy to make the connection with the story of Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, who left his native Cuba with a few seeds in his pocket and a mad desire to continue planting tobacco leaves and creating cigars in his own image. A determined man who never gives up.
Tasting note
Notes
Despite its unconventional size, this cigar is very accessible and offers rather mild aromas. The fresh hay at the start quickly gives way to earthier aromas and hints of cumin. Gentle notes of white pepper remind me of my grandmother's spice drawer. The bitterness of too-fresh nuts appears for a moment, then gives way to the creaminess. Once you've settled in, it will stay with you for the rest of your journey.
