E.P. CARRILLO ALLEGIANCE | CIGAR REVIEW

AUGUST 20, 2023 - PHIL KURUT, COMEDY - CIGARS - MUSIC

E.P. CARRILLO ALLEGIANCE SIDEKICK (5 x 50)

WRAPPER: ECUADORIAN SUMATRA

BINDER: NICARAGUA

FILLER: NICARAGUA

Allegiance’s smooth draw presents mild coffee, dark earth, charred wood, and a dash of spice. Nothing punches me in the face. Doesn’t have to.

Earth, wood, and milder coffee drop through the nose. Spice lightly dances over the palate, joining hands with sweetness on the finish. A bit of tea watches quietly.

Generous smoke output. Solid ash, and dimes are stackin’, as they say.

Allegiance burns rather slow and straight, waving a bit here and there. Smoke rolls™ help things stay a touch more stable.

Consistency was the game here. From start to finish, Allegiance held on and kept riding.

SMOKE TIME: 1 hr. 22 mins.

RATING: 3 / 4 - Consistency was the game.
