EP Carrillo Pledge Apogee - Gordo
EP Carrillo Pledge Apogee - Gordo
The largest regular-production size in the Pledge lineup, the EP Carrillo Pledge Apogee - Gordo presents Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s celebrated blend in a 6 1/4 x 58 format that gives this cigar a broad, unhurried feel in the hand. Made in the Dominican Republic, it follows the same blend family that brought the Pledge line exceptional recognition, pairing a Connecticut Habano wrapper with Nicaraguan tobaccos for a profile known for richness, structure, and depth.
Expect a full-bodied smoke with layered notes of cedar, baking spice, roasted nuts, earth, and a measured sweetness that keeps the blend balanced rather than heavy. The larger ring gauge does not change the identity of the cigar so much as let its darker, savory character unfold at an easy pace. Smoked leisurely, this 6 1/4 x 58 vitola generally offers about 75 to 105 minutes of smoking time.
