MIAMI, FL – E.P. Carrillo Cigars has announced the release of their E.P. Carrillo Short Run 2023 cigars. Expected to arrive at cigar retailers later this month, this annual limited edition release marks the first time the selection is being made in a factory outside of the Dominican Republic; for this run, it’s the Oscar Valladares Tobacco & Co. factory in Honduras. Moreover, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo has made it a point to create new blends with cigar makers from other factories and countries.
E.P. Carrillo’s Short Run series is renowned for its unique, one-of-a-kind blends handcrafted with the rarest tobaccos. This year’s creation is no different, promising to deliver an unforgettable smoking experience that expertly balances complexity and smoothness.
Known for its richness and depth, each Short Run 2023 cigar is skillfully rolled in an Ecuadorian Habano seed wrapper. A Nicaraguan binder plus fillers from Nicaragua and Honduras complete the recipe.
“I’m thrilled to be working with the cherished Copan tobacco from Honduras after over two decades,” said Ernesto Perez-Carrillo. “Crafting this blend at Oscar Valladares’ factory with his team is a perfect fusion of tradition and innovation.”
“Working together with Don Ernesto Perez-Carrillo has been a formidable experience and a great honor for us,” replied Oscar. “And it fills us with satisfaction to have used tobacco from Copan, Honduras. This tobacco has been a fundamental part of our history and one of my favorites.”
The Short Run 2023 selection is presented in boxes of 24 cigars as follows:
Robusto (5” x 50) $10.75 msrp/cigar (1,250 boxes made)
Toro (6” x 52) $11.75 msrp/cigar (1,250 boxes made)
Gordo (6” x 60) $12.75 msrp/cigar (625 boxes made)
The packaging showcases the iconic E.P. Carrillo design complemented with a Honduran flair that reflects the cigars’ country of origin.
“Our Short Run Cigar line stands as a testament to our dedication to crafting excellent cigars for aficionados around the globe,” added Ernesto. “Our 2023 Short Run is a tribute to the timeless character of this unique tobacco, brought to life with a modern touch.” CA
