Casa Carrillo announces that the E.P. Carrillo Connecticut is now shipping to retailers nationwide. As the fourth blend in this line, following Sumatra, Maduro, and Honduras, the Connecticut is also the second Essence cigar crafted outside Casa Carrillo, produced at the Agroindustrias DIADEMA factory in Honduras.
“The E.P. Carrillo Connecticut was born out of a desire to create a cigar that pairs creamy, mellow flavors with exceptional craftsmanship,” said Ernesto Perez-Carrillo. “This blend is perfect for both seasoned smokers seeking a refined, nuanced experience and those new to the world of premium cigars.”
The blend features an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. Beneath that lies a Honduran Criollo 98 binder; the filler is a mix of Honduran and Dominican tobaccos.
The E.P. Carrillo Connecticut is available in three sizes, all offered in 24-count boxes. The Corona (44 x 140mm – 5 1/2″) is priced at $9.25 MSRP, the Robusto (50 x 127mm – 5″) at $9.75 MSRP, and the Toro (52 x 152mm – 6″) at $10.50 MSRP.
