E.P. Carrillo 15 Year Anniversary celebrates 15 years of the company's cigar-making history with a limited-edition blend built around extensively aged tobaccos from Mexico, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic. Created as a commemorative release, this medium-bodied cigar showcases the blending experience of Ernesto Perez-Carrillo and the Carrillo family through an unusually diverse selection of aged tobacco.
The blend begins with a Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper aged for 10 years, contributing dark, earthy character and natural sweetness. Beneath it is a Nicaraguan binder from Jalapa aged for 15 years, giving the cigar another distinctive component selected specifically for this anniversary release.
The filler incorporates eight different tobacco components, including Dominican Corojo '99 Ligero along with Criollo '98 Ligero, Seco, and Viso tobaccos sourced from three prominent Nicaraguan growing regions. According to the blend specifications, these long-filler tobaccos have been aged between five and seven years, bringing together different primings, origins, and maturation periods in one carefully composed blend.
Generally medium-bodied, the E.P. Carrillo 15 Year Anniversary offers tasting notes that may be reminiscent of dark cocoa, espresso, cedar, earth, roasted nuts, leather, black pepper, and warm spice, complemented by underlying natural tobacco sweetness. The combination of its aged San Andrés Maduro wrapper, long-aged Jalapa binder, and diverse filler recipe creates a layered profile designed to develop throughout the smoking experience. Individual flavor, aroma, strength, construction, and overall smoking characteristics may vary by cigar and individual palate.
Handcrafted at Ernesto Perez-Carrillo's factory in the Dominican Republic, the 15 Year Anniversary reflects the Carrillo family's approach to tobacco selection, aging, and blending while commemorating an important milestone for the company.
Production is limited to 5,000 boxes of 15 cigars, making this anniversary blend a particularly limited addition to the E.P. Carrillo portfolio. For adult cigar enthusiasts and collectors drawn to aged tobaccos, Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrappers, complex multinational blends, and limited-edition releases, the E.P. Carrillo 15 Year Anniversary offers a distinctive opportunity to experience a cigar created specifically to commemorate 15 years of the company's cigar-making history.
