Inch Natural by E.P. Carrillo No. 60

The Inch Natural by E.P. Carrillo No. 60 opens with a robust medium body, delivering a rounded mix of sweet cedar, toasted almond, and creamy coffee over a base of leather, light earth, and gentle baking spice. The retrohale adds black pepper, cinnamon, and a touch of dried fruit, giving the profile warmth and a hint of complexity. By the second third, the flavors expand into honey-drizzled brioche, roasted cashew, and light caramel, while the pepper smooths into a mellow, lingering undertone. A subtle maple sweetness emerges, binding the cedar, cream, and spice into a cohesive mid-palate. In the final third, the cigar deepens into milk chocolate, toasted oak, mild espresso, and a trace of clove, finishing smooth, warm, and slightly sweet with a nutty aftertaste.

The No. 60 vitola is expertly rolled with an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers, showing tight seams, a clean triple cap, and a firm yet responsive pack. Cold draw reveals cedar, cocoa, and a touch of honey. Upon lighting, the draw is ideal—slight resistance producing dense, aromatic smoke with a creamy texture. The burn line remains sharp and even, and the ash stacks into tight, light-gray coins that hold impressively between taps. Combustion stays cool and steady despite the large ring gauge, rewarding slow, deliberate puffs.

Pair with Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 14 Year or Zacapa 23 Rum; both complement the cigar’s cream, cedar, and cocoa while enhancing its natural sweetness.

Aging potential is strong: 4–7 years will integrate the cedar, cream, and spice into a more seamless, velvety profile while softening the pepper into a polished undertone.

A bold yet approachable large-format smoke that showcases E.P. Carrillo’s craftsmanship in balancing flavor, texture, and impeccable construction.
