E.P. Carrillo inaugural 2009

Same for me. Loved the Short Run 2010 Populares, and bought several of these when I found them. Totally agree that "The cigar gets a little spicier after a third. After that there is hardly no development in the flavor department."

Just had the one I had and it was very nice. Not complex but a very smooth creamy flavor till the end. It was actually better than the Partagas 898 I just finished up.

I may be one of the few who really liked these. I get why many didn't though. The flavor was just really subtle and nuanced. If you prefer full flavored NCs, this one would definitely disappoint, especially for the price they were asking.

Smooth and creamy is a pretty accurate description. Personally I found it to be a refreshing change of pace. If they had packed just a little more "zip" in there, I think these would have been a home run.

Sounds like it's similar to the New Wave; would you say that's true, Jeff?
