There were no specifics around blend information. The report on the Cigar Dave show did mention that the blend has still not been finalized. No information on sizes has been mentioned as well. The cigar is being targeted for an 2013 IPCPR launch.
This information starts to shape E.P. Carrillo’s 2013 release plans. Information on the Cigar Dave Show also mentioned the upcoming E.P. Carrillo Short Run 2013.
Just sampled the 5 7/8 x 60 in both Maduro and Ecuadorian Sumatra. I usually detest 60+ ring gauge cigars, and I am bored by the vast majority of maduros on the market, but, despite these two reservations, the Inch maduro instantly entered my personal top 25 list of American-market cigars.
Also got to see the final version of the "antique ruler" band. It's excellently rendered, and will look beautiful on the dark maduro wrapper.
I look forward to finding out what consumers make of this cigar–I know I'll be recommending it to anyone who'll listen!
