"Love the milky smoke on these!"

These are mellow and milky, great flavor and burn.

"Poorly made cigar."

Disappointed. Poorly made cigar that fell apart while smoking.

"Tastes Like An Inner-tube"

The pros for this one was that it burned great and evenly, and the aroma was rather pleasant. The cons were everything else. It tasted like hot are and plastic, had quite a rip in the wrapper under the band, and had a tight draw. I could not get beyond the halfway point with this one. Quite a disappointment.

"A med body, full flavor Conny"

A nutty creamy smoke, not your normal mild Connecticut. Med strength and great full bodied flavors.

"I like em--repeat buyer"

I ve bought 5-ers of these Brillantes several times. I like them as a midday cigar. They re lovely, never had construction problems, draw is neither loose or tight, and flavor is really fine. I smoke about 3 cigars a day and I like to keep these around for when I want a milder moderate-bodied smoke.

"how sweet it is"

im not a big connecticut fan but i am a huge ep carrillo fan and the nwc is a very nice relaxing smoke priced just right i had no problems or complaints with this stick burn,draw and taste are as good or better than cigars twice the price great job !

"Fell Apart"

I did everything right with this stick yet halfway through it literally started to fall apart on me. Perhaps I had the one bad stick out of the box, but I would not try another. Too bad because it really tasted goid.

"good...if you like smoking air."

Got a couple of these with a boutique sampler. After letting them chill out I'm the humidor for about a month smoked the first one on a nice sunny afternoon. The wrapper cracked in 3 different places upon lighting it up and my humidor is set at around a constant 75, as I like my cigars more on the moist side for a slower burn, so i know it wasn't dry. The cigar had little to no flavor and was literally like smoking air or maybe a Marlboro light. Was not creamy and felt like a cheap and poorly made stogie. It did burn fairly even and had a decent draw on the last half to one third, but still did not gain any flavor throughout. Also had a bitter after taste, reminiscent of a cheap cigar. Maybe the other will be better but honestly i will probably give that one out to a friend the next time i have people over and we smoke a stogie. At least i know i won't be losing anything. Definitely a straight filler in that sampler. Would never buy again for sure.

"So much better out there"

Burned uneven for me and it had little to no flavor. I ended up just throwing it away. It was bit like smoking a cigar. I'm not a Pro at this stuff so take my comments with a grain of salt. Try one before you buy more.

"Brillantes has a bad drawn and poor favors"

The E.P.Carrillo New Wave Connecticut Brillantes size has construction problem. It was tighted; therefore, I didn't enjoyed good favors of the cigar like I did on the Stellas size.
