E. P. Carrillo INCH

The Gloria Cubana Série R has become one of the most sought-after brands in the United States. To meet the growing market demand for large-diameter cigars, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo creates the E. P. Carrillo INCH brand. The brand comprises four large-diameter modules: No.60, No.62, No.64 and No.70, each available in Maduro or Natural wrappers.

Production is limited to around 120,000 cigars a year, for reasons of production capacity and tobacco availability. The filler comes mainly from the Dominican Republic, from Piloto Cubano, Corojo and Criollo '98 seeds. The undergrowth comes exclusively from Nicaragua, and the wrapper from either Connecticut or Ecuador. Inch cigars are well-balanced and somewhat spicy. The ring design is based on an antique ruler.
