E.P. Carrillo TAA 2023

Cigar maker Ernesto Perez-Carrillo has come out with the E.P. Carrillo Box Pressed Toro as his TAA exclusive for 2023, a 6-by-52 smoke packed 10 to the box. Made with Ecuadoran wrapper, Connecticut Broadleaf binder and a Nicaraguan and Dominican filler blend, with production limited to 1,000 boxes. Notes of pepper, earth, nuts and cocoa, with a finish that is long and creamy with a touch of cedar. Perez-Carrillo called this “a cigar with many nuances…that is balanced and complex and can be enjoyed at all times of the day.”
