E.P. Carrillo New Wave Connecticut

When you want the classic, creamy aesthetic of a Connecticut but with the kick and complexity of a boutique Nicaraguan blend, the New Wave Connecticut is Ernesto's answer. Trading the paper-thin, bitter Shade smoke of the past for a modern, medium-bodied approach, this cigar uses a gorgeous Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper to house a flavorful core of Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos. It's the perfect bridge between mellow and medium.

Traditional cream and toasted bread notes kick off the light-up, quickly joined by a surprising hit of cedar and white pepper. The smoke is exceptionally smooth, bringing a buttery texture that carries hints of cashews and sweet hay. It stays consistent and cool all the way to the nub, making it a perfect morning cigar or a first smoke for a long outing. Approachable enough for beginners but packed with enough EPC DNA to keep veterans happy. Stock up on a box and bring some new wave energy to your rotation.
