A decadent and full-bodied treat, the E.P. Carillo Cardinal Impact Maduro 52 cigar is another hit for its maker. Ernesto Perez-Carillo is renowned for his ability to create small-batch boutique smokes that rival anything the big producers can muster, and the Cardinal line is his gift to aficionados who seek out the heaviest and most robust stogies they can find. With its ligero-laden blend of Nicaraguan filler and toothy Connecticut Broadlead wrapper this is easily the strongest blend to come from Carillo's E.P.C. Cigar company, but the man's genius is on display by not sacrificing complex and satisfying flavor in the quest for more power.
Providing leathery, spicy flavors punctuated with notes of oak wine barrel, cinnamon, and cream, the cigar stays cool burning and sweet to the end. For those not quite ready to take on the Cardinal Impact Maduro, some of Ernesto's other creations offer the perfect opportunity to experience his talents. Fans of mild cigars will love the New Wave Connecticut while those who prefer bolder smokes should go for the Core Line Maduro. Ready to go all out?
