Description
The EPC New Wave Connecticut Brillantes is a creation of the legendary master blender Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, aimed at redefining the perception of classic Connecticut cigars through added complexity and subtle spice. Produced in the Dominican Republic at Tabacalera La Alianza, it offers a creamy yet dynamic smoking experience that appeals to both beginners and seasoned smokers.
The flavor profile is mild to medium-bodied and characterized by excellent balance. Dominant are nutty and creamy notes (fresh hazelnut), complemented by hints of roasted coffee beans, cedar, and leather. A delicate natural sweetness (honey, caramel) is supported by a fine peppery spice in the background, adding structure.
