EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?

[jimmyk26]

I recently picked up both the Populares (4 7/8" x 50) and Delirios (5 7/8" x 52. After smoking one of each I am really impressed with the Populares and found the Delirios lacking. The Populares was full of flavor and smoking beautifully while the Delirios seemed young and unrefined. I think that the Delirios may need some more time, but the Populares are smoking great right now. Anyone else try these yet? What were your thoughts?

[E.J.]

Thinking seriously about picking up a box of the populares blind.....

[elderboy02]

I picked up a single at the B&M last week. Hopefully they don't suck as bad as the Inaugural edition did.

I've hada few and loved them. Right now it's in my top 5 sticks I've smoked in 2010.

[Don Fernando]

No I haven't tried them, I do want to though, but I guess they will be sold out by the time I get to the US.

[Brooks W]

Great stick :)

What sizes did you try? Did you like one over the other?

[JJG]

I lit one last weekend and it wasn't bad, but I didn't end up smoking it either. I say stick to the Inaugurals if you can keep from wincing at the price tag.

Really? No disrespect, but how can you say they sucked? I get that you and other people might not like it, but it definitely did not suck. It's not a cigar I would really reach for to smoke on a regular basis as I like a more full bodied smoke, but I thought it was a good cigar for being on the mild/medium side and read a lot of good reviews.

Well, everyone was saying how it was in the Top 10 cigars of the year. My B&M even gave it the #1 cigar of the year.

It was horrible and tasted like pipe tobacco :pu

I have to agree and I'm picky. mild sure, but they taste pretty balanced and smooth to me. nothing weird or sucky that I can recall and I've smoked probably 5 or so Inaugurals now. :hm

[Adriftpanda]

Smoking one right now, it's very different from the EP... not bad so far, a lot more flavors than I thought.

[Made in Dade]

Smoking one right now, and I'm lovin it. Medium flavored, medium strength. perfect burn and draw. Alittle spice and some coffee like flavors.

[neoflex]

Picked up a couple but have not had a chance to smoke them yet. Hoping to catch up on some much neglected smoking once my vacation hits.

[Katmancross]

There's a lot of hype swirling around this guy's cigars. Are they worth the price point?

[Smokin Gator]

I have had a few and they were all the Populares. I really enjoyed them and just got a box last week!!

[enlightenedcigar]

I love this cigar. I have smoked close to a box of them and have yet to have one with any bad burn issues. Will probably be getting a box soon.

With the exception of the Inaugural editions, they're all priced fairly reasonably.

Most recently I tried the Core Line and thought it was very good. The Short Run didn't make much of an impression on me, but I also put it down without giving it a fair chance. I'll make a point to grab another one soon.

[bigliver]

Populares=good. The LE10 is also very tasty.

[smokinpeace]

I loved the Short Run. Very unique flavors from most cigars. I can understand how one would dislike it based on these flavors but I loved it. Nice for something truly different to hit the market.

[BryanB]

I really like the Populares. The others are ok.

[e-man67]

The Inaugural is the WORST cigar I have ever had in my life...hated it..and the Short Run is a close second tied with the Acid Nasty. These taste like sweet aromatic pipe tobacco mixed with a nasty cone incense smell...YUCK!

[captain53]

I paid full retail $ then waited 2 months for a box of EPC Inaugural Editions and was so disappointed I would never purchase anything else they come out with. I have had them aging and try one about every 3 months, while somewhat improved over arrival they are still a pretty crappy cigar. :td

[W.B.]

I've had a few, based on the one's I've had I think they are pretty good but just not for me. I think folks who really like a stronger cedar flavor in the cigars they smoke will love them, that's just not me.

[captain53]

If I did not already have good reason for not buying anymore EPC products this would certainly keep me from buying them. Posted on CI Banter this morning:

Regarding EPC - We just ordered this line. However, it is brick and mortar only and cannot be sold online.

That's odd, I bought all of mine online.

LE 10 is OUTSTANDING

I completely agree with you. I've smoked a box worth or more and none of them "sucked" in my opinion. Im more of a full bodied smoke guy myself too...but it is a very balanced smoke that I would recommend to anyone that is looking for a smooth mild/medium bodied cigar. Now the 2010 is a different smoke all together, and one of my favorites right now. His "core" line is also a very good smoke for the price and i'd recommend it to anyone.

[Vegan702]

One of my favorite sticks.

[scottdurand]

The Short Run is one of my favorites! The LE 10 is superb but not sure if it's worth twice the price of a Short run.
