Pledge By EP Carrillo Prequel Natural | Robusto | Box of 20

EPC does is again! Named 2020 #1 Cigar of the Year, Pledge Prequel cigars is actually the follow-up to Ernesto's last #1 smoke, the Encore, chosen in 2018. So what's his secret to nabbing TWO #1s in such short order? By going the extra mile, and then some, as Carrillo did. It wasn't enough to toil on just one blend for Pledge - he actually started with six high quality blends, but still culling the group stick by stick until his personal best-of-the-best remained. "Is this cigar worthy to follow La Historia and Encore?" Ernesto asked himself. And yes, he found "the one" with Prequel, earning Aficionado's top honor. Nicaraguan fillers are paired with a binder from Ecuador, then rolled in a hand-picked Connecticut-seed Habano - we tasted a savory sweetness from thick, creamy smoke, along with pepper and spice on the finish. Frankly, this would have been a 'must buy' even if it didn't win Cigar of the Year - but the award proves it. Order your box today!
