E.P. Carrillo Pledge cigars are blended and produced in the Dominican Republic by master cigar-maker Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, the man behind the original La Gloria Cubana franchise. In 2020, the critics in Cigar Aficionado rated E.P. Carrillo Pledge an impressive 98 points and ranked it as their ‘#1 Cigar of the Year.’ A unique Cuban-seed Maduro wrapper, grown in Connecticut, embraces a binder from Ecuador and premium Nicaraguan long-fillers assembled in a series of popular box-pressed sizes. This dark and succulent smoke develops with sweet and zesty character. Tasting notes of molasses, black cherry, pepper, and hickory commandeer the senses throughout a spicy, medium to full-bodied finish. E.P. Carrillo Pledge is the highest rated cigar, and the second ‘Cigar of the Year’ titleholder, from Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s eponymous portfolio. Explore the Pledge today.
