E.P. Carrillo Dark Rituals

Great Maduro, decent flavor, burned well, and good ash control.

This is an excellent full bodied cigar and has that EP Carillo signature taste. Always good with just the right amount of spice.

Good sticks, great price.

They are smooth and full of flavor. One of my go to sticks.

A real tasty cigar will purchase again

Excellent cigar

Excellent smoke, full of flavors and body. Great price and very good shipping price. I bought 2 boxes!

Construction is ok, favor is not what I expected in this brand. I know why they have discontinued this cigar.

nice cigar but has a bit of a bite.

Very nice full bodied smoke.

Fairly good..Decent smoke...

Very nice box. Full-bodied. A treat cigar for me.

It starts out ok, harsh finish.

I usually love carrillos but this one was a disappointment. The price point made me skeptical but reviews were decent.

Loved this stick.. I smoke every one down to a stub. Full bodied and oily. E. P. Carrillo has done it again. Highly recommended

E.P. Carrillo cigars are just about Alway good. This one has an excellent amount of spice and it just tastes like good, quality aged tobacco. I will buy more of these.

Nice flavor, good burn

A little disappointing this time…I like the flavor profile but maybe I was expecting something else

This is well constructed, flavor enriched and easy draw with minimum effort.

The EP Carrillo Dark Ritual is a well balanced smoke. Pre-lite you can taste raisins and sweet tobacco. The construction was very good with an even burn throughout. Gentle hints of pepper and spice with an earthy tobacco core and dried fruit for the duration of the smoking experience make for an enjoyable smoke. Not my favorite Carrillo, but definitely worth trying.

Another perfect stick from E.P.

Hints of espresso and dark chocolate with a peppery bite.

Typical EP perfect even burn good draw great cigar ????

Excellent

Awesome

Great smoke ! No issues with burn or draw. Good flavor profile. Would definitely purchase them again. Thank you Cigars International for your customer service !

The look was just what I was hoping for. Cigar construction was great, Good aroma and easy to light with an even and slow burn. Draw is very good producing loads of flavorful smoke. A recent convert to the EP Carrillo products, this one didn't disappoint. Also, a big fan of the Maduro wrapper too. What a fantastic combination. How is it that you could offer such a purchase price for this product blows my mind? Cigar International rocked it on this sale! A real winner for me.

If I would’ve known what I now know about these sticks I would’ve bought 3 boxes. Draw is perfect. Good amount of smoke. Rich cocoa and leather. I’m probably not going to smoke anymore until they are available again.

One of the best cigars I've ever experienced in my 20+ years. If you’re looking for a daily cigar, the MF E.P. Carrillo Dark Rituals offers one of the best experiences that you’ll find.

Dark and thoroughly enjoyable.

Ive had this cigar in the past and it is one of my favorites. complex delicious flavors. got 2 boxes of 10 on special. will buy this every time there is a special. EP Carillo makes great cigars like AJ Fernandez. these 2 guys are my favorite cigar makers

Exactly what you’d expect from EP. great smoke, even burn, full of flavor.

A rich medium rated beauty of a cigar. My new find and I will be ordering them on a regular basis. Smooth and tasty this is fitting the bill perfectly. Highly recommended!

What a beautiful cigar! Expert construction, smooth, even draw, and so full of rich flavors! It’s just a shame I only bought ten! I will definitely be leaving a few of these in a corner of my humidor to age. If you get a chance to get your hands on these, do it!

The only negative was a little harsh

A fine cigar, full body. Sweet draw and burn.

Excelente cigar

Full flavor

Good flavor and smooth draw. I really like this cigar.

Excellent draw.

Really enjoyed the smoke

Very good

If you are a fan of strong full body cigars then you will love this one. Starts out very peppery and then gradually gets smoother as you get into the last 2/3rds of the cigar. Excellent smoke for the price.

What a great cigar, smooth, full of flavor with a subtle {not infused} cocoa semi sweet finish. Highly recommended!

Great quality for the price. Burns smoothly and pleasant cigar if you need to share. I’ll buy them again.

I bought on special and it was a value for the money

As advertised

Nice draw, burn, and smoke, like every Carillo cigar I’ve ever had.

nice smoke good constuction and draw

Very rich flavor, good to the end. Great cigar for the price !!!

Not sure how this man does it, but consistently produces amazing cigars. Have yet to smoke a bad Carillo stick. This one pleases the palate with nice black coffee and espresso notes. Beautiful wrapper and burn.

The best

Ernesto does it again with another hit. This full flavor, medium body gem deserves space in your humidor!

Great flavor throughout.

a good medium bodied cigar

This was my first time trying these smokes, but definitely will not be the last. Smooth and burns good.

Full body but not overly heavy. Excellent tasting cigar.

Well constructed, decent draw, balanced flavor. Not as full-flavored as anticipated.

I really like EP Carrillo New Waves, and am moderately fond of darker, bolder cigars so take this for what you will. It's a really enjoyable smoke. Great flavor, not too rough. The reason I knock it down a start is cause the cigar smell/taste stuck with me for over a day after smoking one. Even after brushing twice I could tell I had smoked one of these. Great cigar but heavy residuals.

Terrific smoke at a great price

Good cigars

Very smooth and taste

a good smoke

I think I'm in love. My newest favorite.

A very good, relaxing smoke! Draws well, tastes nutty and rich. Paired well with Bowmore 18 y.o. Scotch. Very even burn, and a pleasure down to the nub.

Good, smooth smoke. Enjoy it very much,sometimes it has an uneven burn, but I can usually straighten it out.

A chocolate, spicey sweet blockbuster! Beautifully crafted

A very good cigar from the beginning and gets better at the end , holds a long ash burns slow with an easy draw, has a dark chocolate tast , one of my favorites

Good smoke

Deep, smooth, rich, & flavorful. If you're a fan of maduros, cop these. Notes of cocoa with moderate spice. A really good stick.

Went to an E.P. Carillo event , and have been very impressed with most of the products. Dark rituals is extremely good. Smooth, full of flavor, consistent, and burns well.

real smooth and bold

Great

Fabulous cigar, one of my favorites. Clean even burn, smooth draw and great flavors. Whenever they are on a special, I order up. Unfortunately, they seldom go on special. Ernesto really did himself proud on this one.

Great stick

awesome cigar. a must try

I give it a five. However, stronger than I like...quality is good and smokes great. Lots of pop/flavor.

Great aroma, construction and draw. Enjoyable. I'm sure the size, robusto, has a lot to do with it.

Full flavored , amazing, smoke. I will be keeping a supply in the humidor.

Good cigars

Surprisingly good flavor bought it on the whim

A great smoke!

Decent

Easy smoke. Not harsh, but still has bold flavor!

Been smoking these the past year. I like all of E.P. Carrillo cigars but the Dark Rituals is a sleeper. For those who like a deep tasting cigar with spicy overtones then you will enjoy this one. It is a smaller robusto and if you want a quick 1/2 hour to 45 minute smoke time then you will enjoy Dark Rituals by E.P. Carrillo.

Nice smoke

All EP CARILLO cigars are great. This one has a great draw starts off great and finishes fantastic. Often burn my fingers trying to make it last. The burn is excellent and never have to relight. These are always in my humidor and I don't like to share them lol. Take my word for it if you like a full flavored cigar with excellent taste and smell try these.

Dark, smoky chocolate flavors, perfect burn! Slow smoke! Not for for beginners or small children! Great smoke, value priced!

Tightest cigar I've ever smoked. Poor glue job. Did not enjoy the flavours. Bitterness was overwhelming and it had to be put out during the 1st third. Would not recommend!

Only one flavor throughout. Good for cutting the yard if you can catch them on sale. Not what I expected from E.P. Carillo.

A flavorless pepper bomb. I am a big fan of EP but this was just a failure.

E.P. Carrillo Dark Rituals Torpedo is an everyday smoke. The flavor is underwhelming and boring. However the Cigar gets better half way through. Be patient and wait for the full quality and flavor

My favorite smoke

One of the best smokes!

it smokes with lot of Flaver of leather, coffee, chocolate,and earth tones.

first got these in the gentlemens sampler. just a great tasting cigar. and you can smoke it down to the nub if you so desire.

Medium earthy flavor, very little cream, nice burn, good construction. Just not my kind of cigar.

I like full flavor and strength. These puppies hit the mark. Burn even too. I have grabbed several sizes, all fit the description. Good purchase.

I really enjoyed these cigars. For being sub 2nd mortgage price they were tasty and slow burning.

Excellent construction. Good draw and burn. A bit strong for my tastes though. Carillo's are certainly a quality smoke.

Very well balanced. Smooth all the way through. Excellent smoke from all points of scoring.

These cigars are very enjoyable. Nice burn, good draw. lots of creamy smoke. Will always have some on hand

Got one of these in the free sampler with a box of La Historias, started out fine the flavor was unique but smooth, ash held on well past one third, flawless construction,the draw was a little tight but nothing to be concerned about. Until about half way through the stick, the draw tightened up and the rest of the cigar was a loss, totally unsmokable. Maybe I got a bad stick, all in all great in all aspects other than the draw. I'd give it another chance.

I have been a loyal CI customer going on 8 years now & for the most part have always been happy with the value & level of customer service offered. Unless its a brick & mortar I have my eye on & cant make the trek to beautiful Northeast PA you pretty much have my business on lock! Thanks & keep up the good work. See you at the '16 Fest!!

A deep, rich combination of cocoa, spice, and aged tobacco. Perfect construction and excellent draw. Stays smooth and cool. I have smoked each one down to about a half an inch.

I know Carrillo has created great Cigars but not with this offering. I prefer the full bodied dark Oscuro or Esteli blends. Also, i love Carrillo's La Historia, so I bought 10 of these sticks. Smoked one hours after receipt and put all the others in the humidor with a clean and consistent 72 % humidification level. First cigar tasted odd to me and it seemed earthy, unpleasant, and vastly devoid of what I fibd in La Historia or any of Ernesto's legacy in La Gloria Cubana smokes. i ignored the issue and let all the others sit in my 72% humidity and four in my 65% humidity box fir 2 months. Tried one from each humidor a few weeks ago and they are the same in flavor. Up close, they smell like potting soil for African Violet plants, and that encouraged me, but the flavor, well into the 3-4" smoked through range still disappointed me and I do not know why or what is in this cigar but, it is something I do not like, however YOU may. Live and learn.. I am new at this, a little over 2 years as a 90+ sampler but this is the most unpleasant smoke I have tried in the past two years. Best! JDG...

trying samples of ep carrillo before, the price made it possible to buy a box of this new cigar.. biggest complaint is, draw is not as good, maybe more aging be me required..i enjoy strong cigars, so taste is fine
