Congrats to Joshua Scarver the winner of the Inch Nicaragua grand prize who was gifted a special 78 x 6 Inch cigar.
Ernesto Perez-Carrillo and Joshua Scarver sit down to talk about this gift made just for Josh, as the Inch Nicaragua contest winner. Josh got to spend the day with Ernesto at the famed E.P. Carrillo lounge in Miami. He learned quite a few things that day, as did Ernesto.
Highlights include:
- The prize cigar is a giant size, different from what Josh is used to, but still delivers the signature spiciness and boldness of the Inch Nicaraguan cigars.
- Ernesto wanted to create a blend that would appeal to Inch enthusiasts but also offer a new experience.
- The challenge of creating a larger ring gauge cigar involves maintaining a similar taste profile while adding or reducing tobacco proportions.
- The blend consists of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos with a Sumatra Ecuadorian wrapper, delivering a flavorful experience.
- Josh enjoys tasting the complexities of the cigar, including the nuttiness in the finish and even feels the peppery notes in the retro hale.
Stay tuned for more videos made during Josh's visit!
