The E.P. Carrillo 15 Year Anniversary cigar commemorates a milestone in the legacy of Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr. and his family’s commitment to the craft of cigar making. Since launching E.P. Carrillo in 2009, the brand has become known for its meticulous blending and dedication to quality. To mark its 15th anniversary, E.P. Carrillo has created a special limited-edition cigar, showcasing well-aged tobaccos in a refined 6½" x 54 format. Produced at Casa Carrillo in the Dominican Republic, this release pays tribute to the experience and expertise that have defined the brand for over a decade and a half.
This anniversary blend is built around a 10-year-old Mexican San Andrés wrapper, providing a rich, earthy foundation. The binder, a 15-year-old leaf (nice touch) from Nicaragua’s Jalapa region, adds depth and smoothness, while the filler combines select Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos that have been aged for several years. The result is a medium-to-full-bodied smoking experience, offering layers of cocoa, dark espresso, and subtle spice, balanced by a refined sweetness and a velvety texture.
What does the EP Carrillo 15 Year Anniversary cigar taste like?
Cigar hobbyists can anticipate a complex yet balanced profile with deep flavors of earth, chocolate, and pepper, complemented by a natural sweetness from the aged tobaccos. The larger ring gauge and aged components ensure a smooth, well-structured burn, allowing the flavors to develop progressively throughout the experience. With its meticulous craftsmanship and limited availability, this cigar stands as both a celebration of E.P. Carrillo’s history and a testament to its future.
