The E.P. Carrillo Pledge Apogee is a new gordo sized cigar (6-1/4 x 58) part of the highly acclaimed E.P. Carrillo Pledge series
Adding a near black Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper to the Natural style edition’s fillers and binder raises the needle on the taste meter into medium to full bodied territory. So if this stick’s light coated sister doesn’t give you enough strength, here’s your choice.

This is yet another occasion that a sixth star should be added to this stupendous cigar’s rating. Achieving a score of 96 and being named the #1 cigar of the year for 2018 should say enough. While most of EP Carillo entries are generally strong and full flavored, this medium bodied edition is wonderfully complex and can be totally enjoyed by everyone. From start to finish this stick delivers refined tastes of smooth tobacco, gentle spice, pops of citrus and a touch of sweetness. This stick is one of the worlds greats.

I’ve been asking our Web Master for the option to add a six star to use on rare occasions without success so far. This amazing cigar would most definitely be one of those instances. If you’re a mild to medium loving smoker you’ll have to pass this powerhouse by unless you want your taste buds stress tested to a very high degree. This stick was two years in the making to get the blend just right. After an inch or so after lighting up, your senses will be enveloped in a definitive array of cocoa, black coffee, spices and pure tobacco flavors that gain strength and intensity as you cautiously move forward. This is a true HE MAN stick that is a joy to behold and worth twice the price. Buckle Up….Big time!

EP Carrillo’s Inch series was specifically designed for smokers that prefer larger ring sizes. As each edition’s blend was formulated, the level of strength and overall character changed. The Ecuadorian Colorado wrapper encasing this stick results in an earthy tasting full bodied, fairly strong smoke not found in it’s Natural and Maduro counterparts.
