E. P. Carrillo Allegiance In good company Ernesto Perez-Carrillo has received more acclaim and awards in the short time he's been producing cigars under his own name than others do in their entire careers. He simply has a knack for creating the right blends. His new blend, the »Allegiance«, is the fourth release in a series unmatched in success. It began with »La Historia«, which ranked second on Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 list in 2014. In 2018 and 2020, the »Encore« and »Pledge« performed even better, each being crowned number one.
For the »Allegiance«, Ernesto partnered with Oliva Cigars, using tobaccos from their nearly legendary aging warehouses. He selected Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos, topped with an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. The »Allegiance« was created as an ode to Ernesto's roots and the friendships and close connections he has formed throughout his career. The partnership with Oliva is clearly evident—the Allegiance distinctly carries the characteristic refinement of both brands. Once lit, it delivers a delicious, medium-bodied profile with the silky-smooth flavor notes expected from a collaboration between these two cigar giants.
Do yourself a favor and pick up the new Allegiance today. If history is any indication, this cigar is sure to become another highly cherished classic.
Taste: The »Allegiance« is a medium to full-bodied cigar that impresses with complex, flavorful aromas. It offers spicy notes masterfully balanced by a hint of honeyed sweetness. Expect nutty flavors and a touch of black coffee.
