About this cigar
EP Carrillo's New Wave Connecticut is the lighter side of a storied Dominican legacy. Ernie Carrillo's New Wave line channels the brand's signature balance of refinement and approachability, wrapping a Dominican and Nicaraguan core in creamy Connecticut shade leaf. At 5.75 x 44, the Brillantes size finds that sweet spot between a quick morning smoke and a proper midday ritual. Expect a gentle creamy opening with hints of cedar, light almond, and a whisper of white pepper on the finish. The tobacco is clean and well-constructed, without the heaviness that deters newer smokers or those between heavier duties. This Connecticut won't overwhelm; instead, it rewards attention with subtle transitions across the first hour. For lounges and upscale retailers, the New Wave Connecticut occupies that profitable middle ground. It's the cigar customers reach for after a business lunch, or hand to a guest who wants sophistication without intensity. The 20-count box makes for smart inventory turnover while maintaining your house brand positioning.
