E.P. Carrillo Pledge Apogee Box of 10

The Pledge Apogee is the third size in the Pledge line by E.P. Carrillo, following the Prequel and Sojourn. It was released in 2021 as a limited edition, with only 3,000 boxes made. This cigar is handcrafted at Tabacalera La Alianza in the Dominican Republic. The blend features a dark, oily Connecticut Habano wrapper from the U.S., an Ecuadorian binder, and Nicaraguan fillers. It’s a bold, full-flavored cigar designed to offer a longer, richer smoking experience. Flavor-wise, it starts with cocoa powder, black pepper, and hickory. As you smoke, you’ll notice sweet notes like vanilla, marshmallow, and baked apple. There’s also cedar, licorice, spiced oak, and a creamy finish. Some reviewers mention hints of peppermint, chocolate syrup, and even cinnamon candy. It’s a complex and evolving profile that makes this one of the standout premium cigars in the market.
