E.P. Carrillo Elite Seleccion New Wave Reserva Belicoso D’Oro

92 points, Cigar Aficionado

Part of the Elite Seires, the New Wave Reserva was originally revealed to aficionados at the InterTabac Cigar Show in Dortmund, Germany 2014, and it forms an elevation to the already popular and 90+ rated original New Wave Connecticut blend. This blend was meticulously crafted with the best filler tobaccos from Dominican Republic and Nicaragua then bunched together with a Connecticut broadleaf binder and finalled dressed in an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. Resulting in a strong smoke with a medium body.

A complex blend with rich flavours of leather, spice and walnuts. Balanced with a smooth creamy sweetness evolving into more intense notes of roasted coffee and cedar with a touch of mineral earth. A journey to be taken slow, allowing each and every aroma to flow through the palate and into your senses, taking you into a high ride through Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and into Mexico.
