Let's cut to the chase - the EP Carrillo INCH Maduro No.64 throws down the gauntlet for jumbo ring gauges. This 6 1/8"x64 beast rocks a glistening Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper hiding Nicaraguan firepower and Dominican finesse. Priced at $284 for 24 sticks, it's bold enough to convert "size queens" and accessible enough for curious medium-full explorers.
That initial punch combines espresso grounds with burnt caramel sweetness - think barista-style affogato. Smoke output stays surprisingly manageable for the ring gauge. The draw? Like sucking milkshake through a firehose - effortless but demands slow pacing.
As the ash builds, expect roasted cashews and dark cherry compote. There's enough black pepper to keep your sinuses clear without the Cuban-style nasal assault. Pro tip: retrohale cautiously - the nicotine starts creeping up here.
Leather and mineral notes emerge like a well-worn baseball mitt. Sweetness shifts from caramel to molasses, while the smoke texture thickens. Cut time at 1.5" nub unless you're chasing that post-lunch nicotine coma.
Perfect for size-curious traditionalists and after-dinner flavor chasers. Not recommended for quick smokes or nicotine lightweights. Pair with black coffee or bourbon - sugar bombs like rum clash with its natural sweetness.
