This was my first time with this E.P. Carrillo Pledge Prequel (Robusto) by E.P. Carrillo Cigars and Wow, this is quite the departure from what I was expecting as the evolution of one of my other favorite E.P. Carrillo cigars… This one is definitely a Full-Bodied award-winner!

Deep rich and smooth dark cocoa and leather come to me at my first few puffs through a decent draw delivering satisfying smoke with a pepper spice on the retrohale.

I just discovered that the rare Connecticut Habano (USA) wrapper on this beauty is also used on some other hard-to-find Premium Cigars… hmmm, I should be on the lookout for these… just sayin’

I like what I had today… I can’t wait to blaze it again soon!
