EP Carrillo Pledge cigars represent an enduring legacy of passion for tobacco that has reached its zenith, crafting a cigar that defies all expectations. We expected nothing less from one of the greatest living names in cigars, the one, and only Ernesto Perez-Carillo. Carillo’s mastery of tobacco has resulted in one of the finest, most complexly flavored cigars to grace the modern world. The EP Carrillo Pledge starts with its impeccable blend of Nicaraguan long-filler, encased with a sumptuous Ecuadorian binder, and finished with a rich Habano Connecticut wrapper. The end result is nothing short of a masterpiece, leaping onto the palate with the endlessly zesty flavors of cedar, leather, peanut, bread, baked apple, spiced oak, and even licorice. If you don’t believe us, just ask Cigar Aficionado, who gave the E.P Carrillo Prequel the distinction of best cigar of 2020.

Ernesto Perez Carrillo did it all over again!

The E.P. Carrillo Pledge Prequel cigar was just announced The No. 1 Cigar of The Year 2020 by the Cigar Aficionado magazine. Receiving an astonishing rating of 98.

Ernesto, or Ernie, as we all know him, is the last Mohican of the cigar giants that we all grew up to know and admire. Unlike most of them that are no longer making new cigars, Ernesto is alive and kicking! He is always cranking out amazing new stogies year after year just like he's been doing for more than 50 years, since the great years of La Gloria Cubana.

As we all stand at attention and salute this man we feel privileged to have memories of working with Ernesto, by helping him with the distribution of El Credito cigars. Starting from the good old years when his entire production facility was located in three storefronts at Calle Ocho in Little Havana, Miami.

Just two years ago in 2018, Ernesto received the coveted No. 1 Cigar of The Year designation from Cigar Aficionado with the Encore Majestic cigar which received a rating of 96. Now he did it yet again with the fantastic E.P. Carrillo Pledge Prequel. Another notable cigars to mention is the La Historia E-III cigar that received No. 2 cigar of the year in 2014 with a rating of 95.

No doubt, nobody knows the secrets of cigar making like Ernesto does and the proof is, as they say, in the pudding, - and by pudding we mean cigar!

According to The Cigar Aficionado magazine "the E.P. Carrillo Pledge Prequel is a delicious smoke that delivers flavor in bold, zesty parcels of spicy oak, licorice, black cherry, and black pepper....when you think you’ve tasted all the cigar has to offer, a warm, familiar note of baked apple settles across the palate. That performance alone is what sent the cigar straight to the top of the list. " - read everything about E.P. Carrillo Pledge Prequel cigar and Ernesto Perez Carrillo here.
