E.P. Carrillo New Wave Connecticut Brillantes is a smooth 5 x 50 Robusto handmade in the Dominican Republic. Designed as an approachable yet flavourful Connecticut-wrapped cigar, it pairs a silky Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper with a balanced blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobacco for a mellow-to-medium smoking experience.
A golden Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper surrounds a Nicaraguan binder and a combination of Dominican and Nicaraguan long fillers. The wrapper contributes a creamy texture and subtle natural sweetness, while the blend adds enough earth and spice to keep the profile engaging. Expect notes of cream, cedar, almonds, honey, light earth, leather and a restrained pepper finish.
The classic 5 x 50 Robusto format produces a comfortable draw, even burn and satisfying amount of smoke without requiring an extended session. E.P. Carrillo New Wave Connecticut Brillantes is an excellent everyday cigar for newer smokers, Connecticut fans and experienced enthusiasts seeking a polished, mild-to-medium profile.

It starts out mild and creamy but as it burns a pepper cedar taste gets stronger as it burns . Nice even ash,not splitting and holds together. Nice medium cigar that has flavor and proper construction. I am a rookie but need a cigar with taste and burns evenly,this one has it.

Overall very enjoyable smoke. Not too mild or strong (at least for my preference), and burnt nicely (as it should). However, at the same time, I struggled to find outstanding characteristics for this stick. The first 2/3 of this stick was very enjoyable, but it got a bit worse for the last 1/3 of the stick. Also, I got quite “cigar sick” after finishing the whole stick…could be that I smoked it too far into the end…

Not your typical Connecticut. With white pepper at the front diminishes after the first third. The Demerara sweetness and Cuban espresso . I recommend this beautiful cigar

What I get is leather and creamy almond. The retrohale is just spicy enough. What a great cigar!

First time trying this brand, Nice, mild, smooth and creamy, good construction, good draw, even burn to half way point got a little uneven after that but didn’t require any touch up, solid white ash that held to half way point. Will enjoy the rest of the bundle.

This is a great cigar, creamy at the start, woody with coffee and leather after that, with a little pepper at the beginning and end. Burned great no touch touchups required. Great value cigar. I will buy a bundle if they come back in stock.

Tastes like sawdust and burns uneven.
