Hi Andrew,
Thank you for you kind review

E.P Carrillo’s Pledge Prequel. I have to admit that when I read that this cigar was awarded a 98 tasting score by a panel of connoisseurs on Cigar Aficionado magazine I was somewhat dubious given that even the most memorable cigars from years gone by e.g the Punch Double Corona ( early 1990’s ) only achieved a score of 97 ! But right from the outset this cigar met with my approval. After just an inch an effortless draw gave way to a wonderfully rich, pungent, aroma. A solid cap and dark Maduro wrapper caught my eye. The construction of this hybrid impressed throughout the length of the cigar. All three bands peeled off without an issue as I consumed its length. A beguiling complexity of aroma filled the room.
This box pressed cigar is a real pocket rocket right the way down to the last inch ! An impressive performance from such a relatively short smoke. Go out and buy a box while you can …..
