How do you follow up Encore, EPC's #1 Cigar of the Year? With another: the Prequel size of Pledge by EP Carrillo has been named 2020's #1 Cigar of the Year! Ernesto Perez-Carrillo of Carrillo Cigar Company has gone the extra mile with this award-winning follow-up. EPC made and repeatedly tweaked six blends, cutting the rejects one by one until a single cigar remained. "With each sample of the six blends for Pledge I worked on, I asked myself, 'Is this cigar worthy to follow La Historia and Encore?'" said Ernesto in Pledge's press release. "And I was very pleased when I found the one." The heart of the cigar is a blend of an Ecuadorian binder and Nicaraguan fillers with a hand-picked Connecticut-seed Habano.
We found that it offers a savory sweetness from thick, creamy smoke, with peppers and spice on the finish. Another crown-worthy cigar from Carrillo's Family Series, and a must for any cigar lover's humidor at this Famous price. Get your box today!
