E.P. Carrillo INCH No. 64

The No. 64 is the cigar that gave the INCH line its name: at a 64 ring gauge it measures a full inch across. This 6 1/8 x 64 gordo is the biggest size in the range and the flagship of E.P. Carrillo's big-ring experiment.

What it tastes like

The blend wraps an Ecuadorian Sumatra leaf around a Nicaraguan binder and a filler of Nicaraguan and Dominican tobacco, including Piloto Cubano, Corojo, and Criollo '98. INCH set out to prove a huge ring gauge could still be bold, and it succeeds: earthy and robust, with black pepper, cedar, coffee, and leather. The enormous draw stays cool and the smoke pours out, while the body sits medium-full from start to finish. It is a slow, substantial cigar.

Who it's for

Built for experienced smokers who love a true one-inch ring gauge and want flavor to match the size. If you mostly smoke thinner Cuban shapes, this is a different experience entirely; see Cuban vs Nicaraguan cigars.
