E P Carillo Short Run...Coming Soon
 
2 Attachment(s)
The E.P. Carillo folks have a new smoke coming out soon.The concept is a "Short Run", showcasing special blends created by Ernesto Carillo and offered in limited amounts.

This latest offering will be released in three sizes,Robusto,Corona Gorda,and a 60 ring size later in the summer.There will only be 1500 boxes of each size produced.Truly this will be a small batch cigar. I am not sure yet how they will be packaged,ten to a box or twenty.

The blend has a lovely Sumatra wrapper,and the filler is Nicaraguan and Dominican.The blend is designed a bit stronger than the first release,and each subsequent "Short Run" release will be a totally different blend from the others.

The price point is intended to be in the $6.50 to $7.50 average range

The full production blend from Carillo will be released at the IPCPR trade show in August,2010,so if you want to get some of the "Short Run" you will have a narrow window,and when they are gone,there will be another to look forward to.

I really enjoyed the Short Run, though not quite as much as the Edicion Inaugural. I posted a review on the CA Review forum here.

The Inaugural Editions are :dr

I planned on buying one "just to try", and have purchased many more since. I can't speak on the short runs though, haven't seen these yet, but I highly recommend trying one of the Inaugurals.

Tom Do you work in the industry?

EP Carillo is kind of a HTF Boutique brand IMO.
Where can you find these?

The Short Run isn't on the market just yet. Looks like they will be available in early June

The Populares and Delirios will be available by sometime in early June, and the Dominantes should hit the market in July
I'm not familiar with Atlanta, but I know that Buckhead Cigar in Buckhead carries the Inaugural 2009 and would expect him to carry the new line once available.
