Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The E.P. Carrillo Platinum Bash Limited Edition Toro opens with a dynamic medium-to-full-bodied profile, delivering an immediate rush of dark cocoa, espresso bean, and charred cedar layered with a subtle molasses sweetness that adds richness and depth. The retrohale reveals bursts of black pepper, baking spice, and a touch of dried cherry, creating a vibrant interplay between spice, sweetness, and a faint fruitiness. As the second third unfolds, flavors of roasted almond, leather, and bittersweet chocolate emerge, supported by a creamy undertone that smooths the edges of the spice while preserving the cigar’s bold character. The final third intensifies with concentrated coffee bean, toasted oak, and dark cacao, leaving a long, resonant finish marked by lingering earthy sweetness and refined spice.
