E.P. Carrillo Capa de Sol Piramides No.5: nutty and peppery nuances are present in the cold draw. The opening releases a mix of well balanced aromas of hazelnut and earth, joined by toasted nuances. The smoke is immediately very creamy.
Overall, the E.P. Carrillo Capa de Sol Piramides No.5 releases a smoke with a moderate evolution, but of great balance. The flavors are well blended together and the profile is structured. Very creamy and perfectly balanced. Despite the strength, flavor-wise it does not unravel even in the end.
