EP Carrillo Short Run, have you tried them?
 
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?

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Populares=good. The LE10 is also very tasty.

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.
