Introduced in 2015, EP Carrillo Seleccion Oscuro was created around a darker, richer profile than many of the company’s earlier releases. The line pairs a Mexican San Andrés wrapper with an Ecuadorian binder and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos, a combination that gives the blend its identity across the collection.
Made at Tabacalera La Alianza in the Dominican Republic, the cigars are generally described as medium to medium-full in strength rather than overwhelmingly heavy. The profile is known for pepper at the start, layered wood and nut notes through the middle, and a measured sweetness that keeps the darker wrapper from turning harsh or one-dimensional.
That balance helped define Seleccion Oscuro within the broader E.P. Carrillo portfolio. It offers a more robust expression of Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s blending style while maintaining the control and finish that have long distinguished his work, making the line notable for smokers who want depth and structure instead of sheer power alone. ...Read More

This is a smoke for those of us who search for palate busters. Cigars that make your taste buds wake up and pay attention. Flavors here are all over the place from sweet and savory to dry and spicy. Carrillo is at the top of his game.

Mexi Can
Pure magic water Ernesto does with the Mexican San Andres wrapper. The rapper alone can only do so much but when it's paired with the right filler combinations....case in point....it take this ga to a whole nother level.

Why not?
After smoking the majority of the career lineup and seeing the blends that have one such great accolades my question always goes back to the same thing why hasn't this profile placed in the top five because it is absolutely amazing.

Real Deal
This is a serious cigar for the serious cigar smoker. It may not be promoted as big as the encore or the pledge but when you discover this gem within the EPC lineup it's going to change what you have on your go to rotation.

Superior
I'm my mind one of the superior blends from EPC. A bit Heavy handed and a bit slow burning but if you like long, robust and flavorful smoke you just can't go wrong with this Churchill

Dark Horse
This reminds me of the original serie Rs. What great presence in the box and on the pallete. Love the San Andrés on just about anything. Great blend, might be the dark horse on his entire portfolio.
