Esteban Carreras Cashmere Sixty

The Esteban Carreras Cashmere Sixty is a premium, handcrafted cigar from Nicaragua, prized for its mild character, creamy aroma and generous size. It features a high-quality Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper, which gives it an elegant appearance and a well-balanced depth of flavour. It is produced at the Tabacalera Carreras in Estelí, which is renowned for its excellent craftsmanship and distinctive boutique blends.

Origin and Size

The Cashmere Sixty measures 152 mm with an impressive ring gauge of 60. This large-format Parejo cigar offers a cool, long-lasting smoking experience with a particularly creamy draw. The blend combines a silky Ecuador Connecticut wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder and filler – perfectly balanced between smoothness and subtle spice.

Appearance and Construction

The wrapper is light golden to straw-coloured with fine veins and a silky-matt sheen – typical of high-quality shade-grown tobacco. The construction is precise and even: a classic Parejo with a round head, cleanly rolled and with good compression. The elegant white band with gold accents rounds off the stylish appearance.

Taste experience

On a cold draw, gentle notes of hay, vanilla and almond emerge. Once lit, a creamy aromatic base unfolds with nuances of butter biscuit, cream and light wood. In the middle third, subtle hints of white pepper, cedarwood and a delicate grain note emerge. The final third brings gentle roasted flavours, a slight sweetness and a pleasantly smooth finish. The strength remains mild throughout, reaching a maximum of medium.

Review and Conclusion

The Esteban Carreras Cashmere Sixty is a large-format Connecticut cigar for connoisseurs who value balance, elegance and creamy mildness. Its size ensures a particularly cool and long-lasting smoking experience, accompanied by subtle spice and a soft sweetness. Ideal for a relaxed afternoon or as a stylish start to a day of cigar smoking.
