Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s award-winning blend is back in Black – and in a new size, that amplifies everything there is to love about Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro. It was a 6-year wait to get to the next iteration of 2018’s Cigar of the Year, the Broadleaf Encore Black. And we all got a year older before EPC released these Encore Black Bulwarks. The Bulwarks is a Zeppelin-esque 6 inches by 58 ring gauge Perfecto made with that super-dark Connecticut broadleaf wrapper, Mexican San Andrés viso binder, and a slew of Nicaraguan fillers from Condega, Estelí, and Jalapa. Craftmanship? Please. It’s Ernesto Perez-Carrillo – it’s a given. So is the boldness and complexity that have come to define EPC’s style. “The Bulwarks offers a slower burn and more pronounced transitions that really show what this blend can do,” says Ernesto. Burn it for yourself and believe – but hurry, supply is limited. Order now!
