They come in a variety of shapes such as Churchill, Corona, Gordo, Presidente, Pyramid, Robusto and Toro. Ecuador-Sumatra wrappers are used in these Dominican Republic originated cigars.

• After taking a puff off the celebrated E.P. Carrillo Club 52, we knew that it is an above average maduro for it has a noticeably smoother draw which is consistent in every stick! It is highly recommended for maduro smokers and they can invest happily in a No. 4 5 pack.
• The Churchill special is also praiseworthy for it renders a spicy and fairly full-bodied taste. It is not overwhelming, yet rich, spicy and everything that a perfect cigar should be like.
