E.P. Carrillo Core Plus Natural Golosos

When it comes down to it, all we cigar smokers want is the pure essence of great tobacco, and the E.P. Carrillo Core Plus Natural Golosos just so happens to provide exactly what we’re looking for. Being able to consistently create some of the world’s best cigars is a skill that cannot be attained on a whim, but the famed Ernesto Perez-Carrillo is up to the task. Easily bearing the weight of four generations of Cuban cigar-makers, this master of the stogie has summoned a blend of Nicaraguan longleaf aged three to five years to serve as the core (ahem) of the Core Plus Natural. Such an exquisite recipe requires a wrapper equal in stature, and so a creamy Ecuadorian-grown Sumatra wrapper was added to the team. The result is an instant medium to full strength classic.

For anyone familiar with Ernesto’s cigars, one of the hallmarks of the many brands he has shepherded into our humidors over the years is the remarkable consistency in quality and skill evident in each well-packed barrel. The E.P Carrillo Core Plus Natural Golosos is no exception. Concealing a remarkable wealth of filler tobaccos within the 6” X 60 vitola, the Sumatra wrapper exudes a sharp cedar aroma while the foot wafts cocoa and almond. After lighting, the pleasure of watching thick clouds of aromatic smoke burst from your lips will compete with the palate’s thrill at tasting not just the trademark creamy cedar and warm spice found in most Carrillo sticks, but also cocoa, molasses, loam, black coffee, and hints of dried fruit.

When a boutique cigar brand makes it big, usually the first thing that happens once the success goes to the creator’s head is the price goes way up while the quality stagnates or even goes down. This is a problem wholly alien to Ernesto Perez-Carrillo. His whole stable of smokes are some of the best premium cigar bargains to be found anywhere and nowhere cheaper than here at CigarPlace. Grab yourself a box of E.P Carrillo Core Plus Natural Golosos right now and see if it doesn’t satisfy that particular itch you’ve been feeling in your soul.
