E.P. Carrillo Pledge Sojourn

The E.P. Carrillo Pledge Sojourn is the Toro size of the line that Cigar Aficionado named its Cigar of the Year for 2020. Ernesto Perez-Carrillo blended it around a rare Cuban seed Connecticut Habano wrapper, a leaf grown in the USA that he has long favoured. The box pressed 6 x 52 format gives a slow, even burn and a firm, comfortable hold.

Beneath the dark, oily wrapper, an Ecuadorian binder holds a filler of aged Nicaraguan long leaf tobaccos. The cigar is handmade at Tabacalera La Alianza in Santiago, Dominican Republic.

Expect a medium to full bodied smoke with cedar, espresso, cocoa and leather, followed by black pepper, black cherry and earth. The finish is long and creamy, with a gentle snap of white pepper.

E.P. Carrillo Pledge Sojourn suits experienced smokers who want a complex, full flavoured Dominican cigar for a long evening, or for enjoying with bourbon or a strong black coffee.
