E. P. Carrillo Allegiance is a cigar completely made in Nicaragua except for the Sumatra-seed wrapper grown in Ecuador. The mix produced with the collaboration of Oliva Cigars is intended to have a medium-to-full body and it's a tribute to the longstanding relationships, friendships, and alliances that EPC has forged during the years in the business.

You can feel notes of cinnamon, earth, dark coffee, and nuttiness, making for an unforgettable smoking experience.

This cigar contains only Nicaraguan tobacco that has been aged for two years and married in tercios. EP Encore is a complex blend that offers a sumptuous flavor rich in baking spices, mild tobacco notes, subtle cedar, and touches of sweetness. It's elegant, refined and nuanced from first puff to last puff, but it's also the culmination of a long career in tobacco and the result of a man who was never afraid to follow his instincts. This stick scored an unmatched 96 points rate and was awarded the #1 Cigar of 2018.

With a 95 rating, the "E-III" version of the EP Carrillo La Historia was named the No. 2 cigar of 2014 by Cigar Aficionado, and over a decade later the blend continues to earn rave reviews. 

Flavor wise, La Historia is a robust cigar with notes of warm coffee and cocoa and hints of spice, nutmeg, and earth. Its Ecuadorian Sumatran binder and Nicaraguan fillers are covered by a dark chocolate accentuated Mexican San Andres wrapper, which, at the time was the first blend from EPC to sport such a wrapper leaf. This cigar has a long-lasting finish that is intended to enthrall even the most experienced connoisseur with its aromatic mocha sweetness and full-bodied textures.

The delightful E.P. Carrillo Pledge provides taste in big, zesty chunks of spicy oak, licorice, black cherry, and black pepper. A warm, recognizable note of baked apple settles across the tongue just as you think you've experienced everything the cigar has to offer. 

The EP Carrillo Pledge Prequel vitola was rated #1 Cigar of the Year for 2020 by Cigar Aficionado with a total of 98 points, the highest in history. It was also awarded the Best Dominican Cigar of 2021.

The Casa Carrillo Pledge Purple is a limited-edition release celebrating the 5-year anniversary of the award-winning Pledge line. Built on the legacy of the 2020 Cigar of the Year, this blend features a Havana-seed Connecticut wrapper from the original crop, aged for nearly a decade to enhance depth and smoothness.

Handcrafted in the Dominican Republic, it uses a Mexican binder and Nicaraguan fillers from Estelí, Condega, and Ometepe, delivering a full-bodied profile with notes of cocoa, earth, spice, and subtle sweetness.

With only 3,500 boxes produced worldwide, Pledge Purple is a rare, collector-worthy cigar offering exceptional balance and complexity.

Tasting Notes:

Paving the way for the "new" Connecticut cigars, this mild yet flavorful cigar boasts notes of cedar and chocolate while still maintaining the smooth creamy lusciousness of the typical Connecticut cigar.

Tasting Notes:

If you like peppery cigars, this is the one for you. Loads of baking spice and nutty flavors sit alongside splashes of white and black pepper, while a touch of espresso rounds out the finish of this spicy, yet super smooth cigar. 

Tasting notes:

Full-bodied with subtle sweet notes throughout. The well-balanced first half is trickled with notes of almonds, nutmeg, and other earthy flavors. The second half becomes richer with even more sweet notes and hints of spice, making this one of the most balanced cigars on the market.
