The Core Plus Maduro represents E.P. Carrillo’s commitment to creating deeply satisfying, full-flavored cigars that resonate with aficionados seeking intensity without harshness. Each stick features carefully selected Nicaraguan filler tobaccos that have undergone extensive aging for two to five years, developing remarkable depth and refinement that distinguishes this blend from ordinary maduro offerings.
The star of this composition is undoubtedly the Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, a dark and oily leaf that brings forth robust notes of dark chocolate and espresso while maintaining a creamy smoothness throughout the smoke. Combined with the Ecuadorian binder, this creates a perfectly balanced construction that burns evenly and delivers consistent flavor from first light to final draw.

The result is a complex yet harmonious profile that evolves beautifully, revealing subtle nuances of leather, earth, and dark roasted coffee as the cigar progresses. Whether enjoyed after a hearty meal or paired with your favorite aged spirit, the Core Plus Maduro provides a luxurious smoking session that satisfies even the most discerning palates.
