E.P. Carrillo Pledge of Allegiance 2023

This box-pressed toro boasts a dark, variegated wrapper with prominent veining. Upon smoking, it unleashes robust flavors of earthy undertones, rich coffee, and oak, which are initially tempered by a hint of cocoa sweetness. As the smoke progresses, these notes take on a charred quality, ultimately giving way to a refreshing, subtly minty finish. The cigar maintains an even burn throughout, although the draw is slightly firm.
