Winner Of Cigar Aficionado’s 2020 Cigar Of The Year Award
Ernesto Perez-Carrilllo is a legendary master cigar blender who was raised in the industry by his father who owned a small cigar business in Miami. He saved the business from being sold shortly before his fathers death. Years later he would go on to work for the General Cigar Co before opening his own factory in the Dominican Republic.
The Pledge Prequel is another smash success by Carrillo. Released in September 2020, it was crowned Cigar Of The Year only months later. A fantastic blend of Nicaraguan fillers are treated to an Ecuadorian binder and USA Connecticut Habano wrapper. When describing the sensational profile of the Pledge Cigar Aficionado stated:
The E.P. Carrillo Pledge Prequel is a delicious smoke that delivers flavor in bold, zesty parcels of spicy oak, licorice, black cherry and black pepper. Baking spices sing like a holiday chorus, and when you think you’ve tasted all the cigar has to offer, a warm, familiar note of baked apple settles across the palate.
