The EP Carrillo Pledge Apogee is a full-bodied premium cigar with a rich complexity of flavors that will appeal to experienced aficionados, but it makes for an excellent transitional cigar for the novice smoker. Its delectable, oily USA Connecticut maduro wrapper is expertly placed over an Ecuadorian binder and long-filler leaves from Nicaragua. This full-bodied toro offers a potent but not overwhelming smoking experience and delivers rich spicy, woody, and peppery notes with a long creamy finish. The EP Carrillo Pledge brand was created as a tribute to cigar aficionados. The cigar is hand crafted at the Tabacalera Alianza in the Dominican Republic.
