Calling all Ernesto-Perez Carrillo cigar fans! Klaro has teamed up with Casa Carrillo (formerly known as EP Carrillo) to reward a few lucky individuals with some free stogies. But these aren't your garden variety tobacco blends, for this is the mighty Triumph Pack we speak of, and it contains not one, but three of the highest rated cigars ever reviewed by Cigar Aficionado.

But before we get to discussing the box-pressed blends found inside this cigar giveaway, allow us to explain how you can snag your own Triumph Pack for free. All you have to do is place any box of Casa Carrillo cigars in your cart, and at checkout, enter the word TRIUMPH to have your complimentary sample pack added to the order. Just note that supplies are limited, so hop on this deal ASAP, and check out the info on the blends below, all of which make the Triumph Pack one of the greatest cigar samplers ever concocted.

EP Carrillo Pledge Prequel

First up inside this little bundle of smokes comes the Pledge Prequel, a box-pressed, full-bodied Connecticut Oscuro with an Ecuadorian binder, Nicaraguan long-filler, and flavor and aroma to spare.

Not only did this cigar score an impressive 4.7/5 stars in the Klaro review linked in orange above, but it also holds the title as the highest rated blend in the history of Cigar Aficionado, with a near-perfect 98-point rating. This allowed Pledge to take home the #1 spot in 2020 as the Cigar of the Year over at Cigar Aficionado, and the title as one of the best premium cigars ever produced. Smoke one of these rich after-dinner delights, and you will see precisely why this blend continues to be one of Klaro's best-sellers.

EP Carrillo Encore Majestic

Then there is the Encore in "Majestic" format, a box-pressed robusto that is the lightest in color of the three blends in this bundle. Rated as 2018's Best Cigar of the Year at Cigar Aficionado, the 96 points that were bestowed upon this blend were not in vain, for this truly is one of the greatest cigars of our time.

While little is known about the tobaccos that are used to make this 100% Nicaraguan puro possible, we do know that a certain amount of it is aged in what are called "tercios." These are hand-built palm bark boxes, and they provide a unique, old-school approach to tobacco fermentation. Not only does this traditional style of fermentation allow the tobacco to continue its natural evolution, but it also imparts a unique tropical aromatic and flavor into each cigar.

EP Carrillo La Historia E-III

Finally, we come to the largest cigar in the Triumph Pack, which is also its most mocha and espresso-forward interpretation of what tobacco blending can be when pushed to the limits. Rocking an extremely oily San Andrés Maduro wrapper, a Sumatran binder, and all Nicaraguan long-filler leaves, La Historia hits on all cylinders without going overboard with strength and intensity. 

This resulted in the box-pressed toro "E-III" version scoring 95 points when it was first rated in 2014’s Top 25 Cigars of the Year by Cigar Aficionado. Ultimately, this led to the cigar being labeled as the #2 best smoke that year, earning it a spot as the third cigar in the magnificent mix-pack.
