E.P. Carrillo proudly presents its latest masterpiece in the Essence Series, the E.P. Carrillo Honduras. This exceptional new release promises to enchant cigar aficionados with a rich and complex flavor profile that redefines the boundaries of taste. As the third blend in this celebrated series, following the Sumatra and Maduro, the E.P. Carrillo Honduras marks a significant milestone by being the first Essence Series creation crafted outside Casa Carrillo, exclusively at the renowned Plasencia Honduran factory.
Ernesto Perez-Carrillo III, who led this ambitious project says:
“Two years ago, our journey took us beyond the Casa Carrillo factory, leading to the creation of the acclaimed INCH Nicaragua in collaboration with Plasencia’s Nicaragua facility. Today, we’re thrilled to unveil the next chapter of our partnership, diving into the heart of Central America with the E.P. Carrillo Honduras. This blend embodies the rich heritage and unparalleled expertise of both our families.”
The E.P. Carrillo Honduras is more than a cigar; it’s a testament to the fusion of two families’ legacies, woven together over generations of mastery. Each draw offers a narrative of passion and tradition, enhanced by the Honduran Olancho San Agustín (OSA) wrapper, known for its distinctive microclimate and fertile soil that yield a unique, complex flavor profile.
Featuring a meticulous two-year fermentation process that imparts a dark, oily sheen, the OSA wrapper ensures a smooth and consistent smoking experience. The binder is from Honduras and the fillers from Honduras & Nicaragua.
The E.P. Carrillo Honduras is available in three sizes with each packaged in 24-count boxes and now shipping to retailers:
- Robusto (5×50) – MSRP $9.25
- Toro (6×52) – MSRP $10.00
- Gordo (6×60) – MSRP $10.75
The Essence Series will expand with six distinctive blends over the next few years, each distinguished by its unique wrapper. Following the debut of the E.P. Carrillo Sumatra at the 2024 PCA and the Maduro, the Essence Series will welcome the Honduras now, with Connecticut, Nicaragua, and Cameroon blends to follow.
