E.P. Carrillo Capa de Sol Piramides No.5

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.

E.P. Carrillo Capa de Sol Piramides No.5

The first third brings a mix of earth, undergrowth and mushrooms to the palate, which are intensified by spicy notes of black pepper and chili. The flavor profile is structured and deep. Strength is medium-full (4/5).

The second third turns to notes of coffee beans, together with rich hot spices. There are also vegetal nuances present. Strength remains constant (4/5).

In the final third, coffee beans, earth and cocoa alternate. Vegetal nuances are still present, as are the hot spices. The finish is long and dominated by black pepper. Strength grows slightly (4.5/5), just enough, however, to give rise to a satisfying ending.

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.
