E. P. Carrillo Waiting in radiant blue boxes to bring tears of joy to aficionados in Germany: »E.P. Carrillo Pledge« arrives carrying a landslide victory for Cigar of the Year. Cigar Aficionado crowned the »Pledge Prequel« with a legendary 98 points as champion. For over six months, Ernesto tried different blends, rejected them, and created new ones. The Pledge can confidently be considered a new evolutionary step in Ernesto's skill. With the Pledge, he fulfills a promise he gave to aficionados worldwide: to strive every day to create another cigar milestone. Look forward to a hefty dose of black pepper right from the first puff, accompanied by a hint of licorice. Dark chocolate and a molasses-like sweetness will delight you. Taste: The »Pledge« is hardly surpassed in intensity. Within seconds after lighting, black pepper conquers your palate. The spicy, powerful start is followed by notes of black coffee and light cedar. As the smoke progresses, the black pepper is pushed into the background by cocoa and a hint of caramel. The finale features hickory nut and a slightly fruity note.
