5 | Cigar | Dominican Republic, 6.25

Ernesto Perez-Carillo, the Godfather of the "Boutique Cigar," has hit another home run with his E.P. Carillo "Core Line." A cigar produced with old world traditions and the vision of putting flavor first before anything else. Medium in body, the blend is constructed with some of the finest tobaccos available from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Ecuador. The combination creates a cigar with a creamy core accompanied with hints of spice that develop to show leather and a black cherry sweetness on the finish.
