E.P. Carrillo New Wave Connecticut
”The Gold Standard for a Flavorful Morning Smoke”
If you think Connecticut wrappers are always mild and flavorless, the New Wave is here to change your mind. Ernesto Perez-Carrillo (the man behind the #1 Cigar of the Year Pledge) crafted this blend to be silky and approachable, but with a surprising “kick” of spice that sets it apart from the competition.
The Experience
The first thing you’ll notice is the flawless, golden-blonde Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. It feels like silk in your hand. Upon lighting, you’re greeted with an effortless draw and plumes of dense, white smoke. It starts with a classic creamy sweetness, but as you move through the first third, a subtle white pepper spice kicks in on the retrohale, giving it a sophisticated edge.

Owner’s Note: This is my go-to recommendation for anyone playing a round at the local Cathedral City courses. It’s light enough to enjoy in the sun but has enough “body” to satisfy a seasoned palate. It’s a “Best Buy” for a reason—premium quality without the premium price tag.
