E.P. CARILLO · DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

E-Stunner

While the first third of the E-Stunner begins sweet, it quickly turns bitter with cereal and cedar being the dominant notes. There’s a bit of spice around the lips, but the rest of the flavor is bitter and sour, particularly on the finish. Smoke is pouring off the front of the Robusto, but there isn’t the abundance in the mouth, although it’s nice. Given the way the cigar has been described, I would have assumed medium-full at least in nicotine, a level that it definitely has not started at. The cedar turns into a more of a cherry wood flavor with some generic woodsiness and cedar notes up front as well. There’s spice in the back of the throat with some cocoa through the nose. On all three of the cigars I smoked for the review there was a slight metallic taste for various amounts of time in the first third and a distinct jalapeño note through the nose.
