E.P. Carrillo Pledge

A Crowning Achievement in Cigar Craftsmanship

Introducing the E.P. Carrillo Pledge, the spectacular final chapter in the esteemed Pérez-Carrillo trilogy, following the highly-acclaimed La Historia and Encore. This cigar is not just a smoke; it’s a commitment to excellence from legendary master blender Ernesto Perez-Carrillo. Earning an almost unheard-of 98-point rating and the coveted title of ‘Cigar of the Year’ for 2020 from Cigar Aficionado, the Pledge stands as a monumental achievement and a must-have for any serious connoisseur.

The secret to the Pledge’s extraordinary character lies in its unique wrapper: a stunning, box-pressed Connecticut Habano leaf grown in the United States. This dark, oily wrapper encases a rich blend featuring a binder from Ecuador and premium long-fillers from Nicaragua. Crafted at the prestigious Tabacalera La Alianza S.A. in the Dominican Republic, the construction is flawless, promising a perfect draw and an experience that is both powerful and impeccably smooth from start to finish.

An Unforgettable Symphony of Flavors

The E.P. Carrillo Pledge delivers an incredibly complex and full-bodied flavor profile that dazzles the palate. The journey begins with a zesty blast of spicy oak and black pepper, which gracefully evolves into a rich tapestry of flavors. Deep notes of black cherry, licorice, espresso, and dark chocolate mingle beautifully, creating a bold yet balanced core. The experience is elevated by a warm, familiar note of baked apple that weaves in and out, adding a surprising and delightful layer of complexity. It’s a rich, structured, and unforgettable smoke that truly represents the pinnacle of cigar making.
