Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Makes Waves with EPC New Wave Connecticut

Posted in Product Spotlight | May 30, 2011

Ernesto Perez-Carrillo has released what could be the mild cigar of the year. Achieving the near impossible feat of melding flavor and balance into a lighter bodied smoke, New Wave Connecticut has raised the bar. A beautiful light brown Ecuadorian wrapper envelops a Nicaraguan binder to create that contrast of creamy sucrose with a dash of spice. Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers complete the flavors in this cigar perfectly by adding depth and an understated complexity.

A lovely detail of New Wave is the white band on the cigar to signify the Connecticut wrapper. This will be easily identified in your humidor as your go-to smoke when you want that mild to medium bodied selection. Another attractive feature of the New Wave Connecticut is the price. This cigar retails for only $4.50-$7.00 and is available in the following sizes:
