New Wave is the mild Carrillo, and the value one — an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over Nicaraguan and Dominican filler, in four sizes from a 5.1-inch Stellas up to a 6 x 60 El Decano.
Cream, almond and light cedar, with a soft sweetness through the middle and no harshness anywhere. It is the Carrillo to smoke in the morning or hand to someone new.
