About this cigar
Ernesto Perez-Carrillo has been up to big things over the last decade. Just take a peek at Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 list and you’ll see dozens of EPC winners on the board, including a couple of #1 Cigar of the Year honors (the 96-rated Encore Majestic and the 98-rated Pledge Prequel). That said, it’s certainly no secret that Ernesto and his Dominican factory make one heckova cigar. Enter E.P. Carrillo’s Essence, a new core line focused on showcasing different wrappers at a pretty affordable price point.
