EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

I recently picked up both the Populares (4 7/8" x 50) and Delirios (5 7/8" x 52. After smoking one of each I am really impressed with the Populares and found the Delirios lacking. The Populares was full of flavor and smoking beautifully while the Delirios seemed young and unrefined. I think that the Delirios may need some more time, but the Populares are smoking great right now. Anyone else try these yet? What were your thoughts?

Thinking seriously about picking up a box of the populares blind.....

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

I picked up a single at the B&M last week. Hopefully they don't suck as bad as the Inaugural edition did.

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

I've hada few and loved them. Right now it's in my top 5 sticks I've smoked in 2010.

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

No I haven't tried them, I do want to though, but I guess they will be sold out by the time I get to the US.

Great stick :)

What sizes did you try? Did you like one over the other?

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

I lit one last weekend and it wasn't bad, but I didn't end up smoking it either. I say stick to the Inaugurals if you can keep from wincing at the price tag.

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

Really? No disrespect, but how can you say they sucked? I get that you and other people might not like it, but it definitely did not suck. It's not a cigar I would really reach for to smoke on a regular basis as I like a more full bodied smoke, but I thought it was a good cigar for being on the mild/medium side and read a lot of good reviews.

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

Well, everyone was saying how it was in the Top 10 cigars of the year. My B&M even gave it the #1 cigar of the year.

It was horrible and tasted like pipe tobacco :pu

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

I have to agree and I'm picky. mild sure, but they taste pretty balanced and smooth to me. nothing weird or sucky that I can recall and I've smoked probably 5 or so Inaugurals now. :hm

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

Smoking one right now, it's very different from the EP... not bad so far, a lot more flavors than I thought.

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

Smoking one right now, and I'm lovin it. Medium flavored, medium strength. perfect burn and draw. Alittle spice and some coffee like flavors.

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

Picked up a couple but have not had a chance to smoke them yet. Hoping to catch up on some much neglected smoking once my vacation hits.

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

There's a lot of hype swirling around this guy's cigars. Are they worth the price point?

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

I have had a few and they were all the Populares. I really enjoyed them and just got a box last week!!

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

I love this cigar. I have smoked close to a box of them and have yet to have one with any bad burn issues. Will probably be getting a box soon.

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

With the exception of the Inaugural editions, they're all priced fairly reasonably.

Most recently I tried the Core Line and thought it was very good. The Short Run didn't make much of an impression on me, but I also put it down without giving it a fair chance. I'll make a point to grab another one soon.

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

Populares=good. The LE10 is also very tasty.

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

I loved the Short Run. Very unique flavors from most cigars. I can understand how one would dislike it based on these flavors but I loved it. Nice for something truly different to hit the market.

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

I really like the Populares. The others are ok.

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

The Inaugural is the WORST cigar I have ever had in my life...hated it..and the Short Run is a close second tied with the Acid Nasty. These taste like sweet aromatic pipe tobacco mixed with a nasty cone incense smell...YUCK!

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

I paid full retail $ then waited 2 months for a box of EPC Inaugural Editions and was so disappointed I would never purchase anything else they come out with. I have had them aging and try one about every 3 months, while somewhat improved over arrival they are still a pretty crappy cigar. :td

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

I've had a few, based on the one's I've had I think they are pretty good but just not for me. I think folks who really like a stronger cedar flavor in the cigars they smoke will love them, that's just not me.

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

If I did not already have good reason for not buying anymore EPC products this would certainly keep me from buying them. Posted on CI Banter this morning:

Regarding EPC - We just ordered this line. However, it is brick and mortar only and cannot be sold online.

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

That's odd, I bought all of mine online.

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

LE 10 is OUTSTANDING

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

I completely agree with you. I've smoked a box worth or more and none of them "sucked" in my opinion. Im more of a full bodied smoke guy myself too...but it is a very balanced smoke that I would recommend to anyone that is looking for a smooth mild/medium bodied cigar. Now the 2010 is a different smoke all together, and one of my favorites right now. His "core" line is also a very good smoke for the price and i'd recommend it to anyone.

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

One of my favorite sticks.

Re: EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 

The Short Run is one of my favorites! The LE 10 is superb but not sure if it's worth twice the price of a Short run.
