E.P. Carrillo Inch Nicaragua No. 70 (7x70 / Box 24)

INCH Nicaragua by E.P. Carrillo brings a distinctly Nicaraguan identity to Ernesto Perez-Carrillo's celebrated large-ring-gauge INCH portfolio. Created specifically for adult cigar enthusiasts who appreciate substantial formats and Nicaraguan tobacco, this release marks a notable first for the series: an INCH cigar produced in Nicaragua and crafted as an all-Nicaraguan blend.

Ernesto Perez-Carrillo has built a distinguished career spanning decades in the premium cigar industry, from his influential work with La Gloria Cubana to the development of the E.P. Carrillo portfolio. The INCH Series was created to showcase blends specifically developed around larger ring gauges, giving enthusiasts who prefer substantial cigars a collection designed with those dimensions in mind.

For INCH Nicaragua, Perez-Carrillo partnered with the Plasencia family, drawing on their extensive tobacco resources and cigar-making experience in Nicaragua. The blend is a Nicaraguan puro, featuring a shade-grown wrapper from Jalapa complemented by Nicaraguan tobaccos that include leaves from Estelí and Condega. Together, these prominent growing regions provide the foundation for a tobacco-forward expression that highlights the diversity of Nicaraguan leaf.

INCH Nicaragua offers tasting notes that may be reminiscent of black pepper, cedar, earth, roasted coffee, caramel-like sweetness, and warm spice. Pepper and spice provide a lively foundation, while woody and earthy characteristics are complemented by an underlying sweetness that adds another dimension to the profile. Individual flavor, aroma, strength, construction, and overall smoking characteristics may vary by cigar and individual palate.

Like other cigars in the INCH portfolio, the blend is presented in substantial ring gauges, providing ample room for its different Nicaraguan tobacco components to develop throughout the smoking experience. Its combination of large-format construction and an entirely Nicaraguan tobacco recipe gives INCH Nicaragua a distinctive identity alongside the Natural and Maduro expressions.

For adult cigar enthusiasts drawn to Nicaraguan puros, large ring gauges, Jalapa tobacco, and profiles featuring pepper, spice, earth, and caramel-like sweetness, INCH Nicaragua by E.P. Carrillo offers a compelling addition to the humidor. Combining Ernesto Perez-Carrillo's blending approach with Plasencia craftsmanship and tobaccos from several of Nicaragua's prominent growing regions, INCH Nicaragua delivers a bold new direction for the INCH Series.
