What type of cigar cutter is best?

The best cigar cutter depends on personal preference. Guillotine and double blade cutters offer clean, straight cuts, V-cutters create a focused draw, and punch cutters provide a compact cutting option.

Do cigar cutters affect the draw?

Yes. A proper cigar cutter helps preserve the cigar cap and allows consistent airflow, which contributes to an even and enjoyable draw.

Can one cigar cutter be used for all cigar sizes?

Many cigar cutters are designed to accommodate a range of ring gauges, but larger cigars may perform better with wider cutters or V-cut styles.

How do I properly cut a cigar?

To properly cut a cigar, remove only the cap just above the shoulder using a sharp cutter. Cutting too deeply can damage the wrapper and affect performance.

E.P. Carrillo Maduro Cigars | San Andres & Broadleaf

E.P. Carrillo Maduro

This collection gathers the dark, decadent maduro expressions in our E.P. Carrillo range. It brings together two distinct blends: the Essence Maduro, finished with a Mexican San Andres wrapper for notes of bitter chocolate, anise, and espresso, and the big-ring INCH Maduro, wrapped in rich Connecticut Broadleaf for leather, pepper, and dark coffee. Together they represent two of the most rewarding routes into maduro tobacco. We invite you to explore both.

Two maduro blends: the Essence Maduro (Mexican San Andres) and the INCH Maduro (Connecticut Broadleaf).
Essence Maduro: San Andres wrapper, Honduran binder, Nicaraguan filler, with bitter chocolate and espresso.
INCH Maduro: Connecticut Broadleaf over Nicaraguan binder and a Nicaraguan and Dominican filler, in large ring gauges.
Profiles: Both run medium to full, rich in chocolate, espresso, leather, and spice.
Range: From the Essence Robusto and Toro to the INCH Nos. 60, 62, 64, and 70 (up to a 7 x 70 Gigante).

What is the difference between the Essence Maduro and the INCH Maduro?

The Essence Maduro uses a Mexican San Andres wrapper for chocolate and anise, while the INCH Maduro uses a darker Connecticut Broadleaf in much larger ring gauges for leather, pepper, and coffee.

How strong are these maduros?

Both blends are generally medium to full-bodied, rich without being harsh.

What is a maduro wrapper?

Maduro refers to a darker wrapper brought to a deeper color and sweeter, richer flavor through extended fermentation. Here that includes Mexican San Andres and Connecticut Broadleaf.
