It's good to be the king.

Anybody even remotely familiar with fine cigars knows the name E.P. Carrillo. Ernesto Perez-Carrillo is the king of cigars in Miami, and his portfolio includes knockout cigars like the 94-rated E.P. Carrillo Seleccion Oscuro (#4 Cigar of 2016) and the highly coveted, 96-rated E.P. Carrillo Encore Majestic (#1 Cigar of 2018), just to name a few. For his newest release, Ernesto started with 6 different sample blends, and thought long and hard about which was worthy enough to follow in the footsteps of his previous hits. The blend he chose is the one he knew best paid homage to cigar smokers everywhere. 

Hailing from the company’s factory in Santiago, Dominican, E.P. Carrillo Pledge is well on the path to becoming its own success story. An enticing dark Habano Connecticut wrapper encases an Ecuadorian binder and Nicaraguan long-fillers, creating a medium-to-full bodied masterpiece with notes of creamy cedar, leather, earth, bread, peanut, espresso beans and hay. The complexity teases the palate in a steady progression of strength from start to finish, and the finish reflects all the blend’s best qualities long after the nub is extinguished. The high quality, solid construction that E.P. Carrillo is known for is carried out in this line as well, giving this cigar an even burn and satisfying smoke production throughout the entire experience. Definitely not one to be missed, Pledge is sure to eventually be added to the long list of fan-favorites created by E.P. Carrillo. Don't miss out on your chance to try this hidden gem. 

Good news! E.P. Carrillo Pledge has been named the #1 Cigar of 2020 and the #11 Cigar of 2022! The award comes with an impressive 98-point rating, noting: "...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."

These cigars are packed with complexity, I just wish they were a larger cigar! They are so good that I really want more. Just a perfect cigar with a morning espresso. I gave two to a couple of lady friends and they loved them. Both of these gals are real cigar smokers I've known for many years so so when they are impressed I know it's a winner.

I regularly buy Pledge when I visit Florida (most cigars are too expensive in Canada - and good ones even more so!). Why? Pretty well everything you want in a good cigar - not too tightly packed that you feel your cheeks changing shape but tight enough that you can enjoy for a good long time; always seems to burn evenly with good even ash slowly developing; great flavour that lingers well with a pleasant (not bitter) aftertaste.

EP Carrillo is hands down the best blender and roller of cigars in the world. The Cuban brands don’t even come close. My humidor is chock full of EP from pledge to endurance and everything in between.

This is a superb cigar, albeit not the best construction and burn given its price. I smoked the Robusto, which is not a full size in its category, but a good 45 minutes of burn. If these go on sale you should jump on it.

This is very possibly my new favorite smoke. Full bodied, but it starts out a bit mellow. By the time you get 1/2 way through it gets bolder. Excellent Draw, very even burn all the way to the nub & very flavorful. Pricey, but well worth the extra $$$. This a a perfect after dinner smoke with a cup of coffee. Highly recommended to those people who like a bit more bang in there cigars.

Picked up a box on the strength of reviews and recommendations alone, and again was reminded of why I shouldn't do that. Don't get me wrong, these are good, but they have a few caveats that cost them two stars, imho. They're quite light and so they burn quickly. That, coupled with the fact that they just don't feel that special. That is entirely subjective. While they smoke easy and seem to have good construction, I can't say that I'd pick up another box. For me, an alternative would be the Aging Room Quattro or one of its variants. YMMV.

These are really nice. A full flavor, but more complex and subtle than bold I would say. Kind of a cross between an Aging Room Nicaragua and an Oliva Melanio V
