Coming from one of the most prolific and prestigious blenders around, E.P. Carrillo Pledge of Allegiance cigars celebrate both America’s birthday and the American Dream. When Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr. was just 7 years old, he emigrated from San Cristobal, Cuba to Miami, arriving just as Castro was completing his communist revolution. Arriving with the American Dream, he and his father combined their Cuban roots and American attitude to revive the La Gloria Cubana brand, which quickly grew in popularity during the 1990s cigar boom. Today, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr. is an accomplished master blender and cigar maker with several top-rated brands like Allegiance and Pledge. To honor the pivotal role America has played in E.P. Carrillo Jr.’s success, he developed a top-quality blend with a focus on American tobaccos. Available as a lone 6x54 box-pressed size, the Pledge of Allegiance is composed of a dusky Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper that cloaks a silky Ecuadorian Connecticut binder and long fillers from the United States, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic. You can expect a hearty, bold, and exceptionally complex medium-full bodied smoke to pour over your palate with every puff, delivering balanced, rich flavors of dark chocolate, leather, coffee, peppery spices, oak, and tobacco sweetness. Keeping with the American theme, the cigars wear red, white, and blue bands with 1,776 boxes of 10 being made. Celebrate America and E.P. Carrillo’s journey by ordering a box of E.P. Carrillo Pledge of Allegiance cigars online today from Casa de Montecristo.
