Over the years manufacturers have boomed, while others kind of get stuck in trying to release brands just on their name.
This series will focus on manufacturers that consistently release brands that rank high and kill it!
EP Carrillo brands are always highly rated and win awards.
Elite Oscuro
This one might not be in top 10 lists but it’s extremely high quality and also priced as an every day smoke. I always keep them in stock and buy box after box. for a Oscuro it’s not too strong and has a dark chocolate hint. I really like these.
Pledge
COTY in 2020, it’s a great cigar. I had the pleasure to meet Ernesto at Big Smoke Meets Whisky Fest 2021. Very mild mannered guy and this brand is a super premium but not super expensive. Well worth keeping some in stock for special occasions.
New Wave
Similar to Elite, not real expensive and a must smoke for any occasion. Want to impress all your golfing friends with a lower cost, excellent smoke? This is a perfect choice.
Allegiance
A newer release and another winner. Awards are already coming in for this one. I'd recommend watching their videos of how this was developed and the flavor palette they were going for. I think they were spot on.
For any cigar lover and enthusiast, follow their pages on the socials. They are very active and also have fantastic contests from time to time. Give away some great stuff live on YouTube or Facebook. I've never won, but always watch.
