Quick Review – E.P. Carrillo Short Run Delirios
By Allen on Jun 15, 2010 in Cigar Reviews
I’ve been away from the site for a few days and while I was out enjoying myself I ran across a great new cigar, the E.P. Carrillo Short Run Delirios. If you follow my Twitter feed you may have noticed me raving about this cigar.
Let me start by saying that I’ve been a huge fan of Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s offerings for many years and was both sad and excited when he left General and his beloved La Gloria Cubana brand to “start over” with a new brand baring his name. I was really excited to smoke the first offering from E.P. Carrillo (the Edicion Inagural), and have been even more excited to see how the regular production would perform. So when I was told that a local shop had juest received their first shipment I made haste.
The Short Run is an absolutely incredible stick, it’s very complex and full of flavor. This medium-full beauty offers up notes of wood and a nice spice. In my opinion one of the finest offerings I’ve seen hit shelves at the local B&M in a while. I’ve made my first purchase of several to enjoy and I am patiently awaiting the next arrival which has a full box with my name on it! This is definitely a must try, so if you haven’t done so, find them locally and BUY!
I really enjoyed these, and the flavor is just like the larger, more expensive size. I will have to pick one up again soon. This would be a good one to let rest in the humidor.

Have had the opportunity to smoke both the short and long versions of this cigar. Enjoyed the short very much, and for the $6 and change price tag, thought it was well worth it. As for the larger, the flavor was somewhat consistent, but I had many burn issues and bitter notes. For the $14 price tag I paid for the larger version, I think next time I would just opt for a couple short runs!
