Cigar Aficionado · Dec 1, 2024

Topped with a lopsided cap, this cigar has a jagged burn and decent draw, imparting a leathery smoke, accompanied by notes of dark-roasted coffee, rich wood and nuts before the tobacco finish.

E.P. Carrillo Sumatra Robusto

The E.P. Carrillo Sumatra Robusto seems mostly complete, though still short of the finish line. While the repeated and consistent combustion issues are what hurt the score the most, I’d appreciate some more consistency. The second cigar—the one whose appears most concerned me—was far and away the best cigar. At that particular cigar’s highest point, it could compete with the best cigars E.P. Carrillo sells. Unfortunately, during most of the three cigars, I was left wanting more of a challenge to the damp earthy flavor, both in terms of intensity and the number of flavors. This seems like a good cigar for a redux review in a year or two.

The E.P. Carrillo Sumatra Robusto was a pleasant enough cigar to review, but I didn't find any of the thirds jumping out at me for flavor combinations or complexity. I don't think there's any question that the price point is attractive in 2024, where the average new cigar is pushing over $14. I think there is a long list of other E.P. Carrillo offerings I would reach for before the Sumatra.
