E.P. Carrillo flies high with this latest release.

Ernesto Perez-Carrillo founded the El Credito Cigar Company in Miami, Florida and became the manufacturer of the highly popular La Gloria Cubana cigars. Born in Cuba, he mastered the art of cigar making and is one of the best blenders in the industry. He has since moved on to form another fantastic cigar operation, EPC Cigar Company, and with that the E.P. Carrillo brand was born.

E.P. Carrillo's cigars have an amazing reputation. Their blends use premium, well-aged tobaccos that fit any enthusiast's taste preference. For their Cardinal Series, the same principles are set forth: well-balanced blend, quality tobaccos, and attention to detail. Where the Cardinal Series differs is that the blend is more intense. Much stronger than the rest of his portfolio, Cardinal Series is loaded with ligero from Nicaragua and the Dominican. The blend is then finished off with a Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper. Notes of espresso, spice, and hints of cherry are present and potent. Make sure you sit down for this one.
