E.P. Carrillo Essence
The Essence Series is Ernesto Perez-Carrillo's exploration of a single question: how much does the wrapper shape a cigar? Each release keeps a consistent foundation and changes the wrapper to let its character lead. This collection presents two of those expressions, the Ecuador Sumatra and the Honduras, both medium-bodied and beautifully balanced with almond, coffee, and a clean sweetness. We are pleased to offer this thoughtful study in leaf.
