Meet the EP Carrillo INCH Natural No.60 - a chunky 5⅞" x 60 beast that'll make double coronas blush. This Dominican-made stick comes in boxes of 24 at $234.36, packing Nicaraguan binder and fillers from both Nicaragua and DR under an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. Designed for session smokers who dig two-hour smoke times without the nicotine punch, it's like smoking a comfort blanket with decent flavor evolution.
First Third: Opens with walnut shells and cinnamon tea - mild but pleasant. The Ecuadorian wrapper does heavy lifting here with honeyed notes, though some might find it too subtle. Draw resistance feels like sucking a thick milkshake through a straw.
Middle Third: Earth shifts to dry cocoa powder territory. Retrohale reveals black pepper that's more tickle than punch. Construction holds up surprisingly well despite the girth, burn line straighter than most 60+ ring gauges.
Final Third: Sweetness ramps up with burnt caramel notes. Watch for tar buildup around the 1.5-hour mark - a quick purge helps. Strength never crosses into full-bodied territory, making this accessible for afternoon sessions.
Newbies transitioning from smaller RG cigars will dig the forgiving strength. Veterans might scoff at its simplicity, but it makes solid yardgar material. Pair with light roast coffee to amplify the nutty undertones.
