E.P. Carrillo is one of the most respected names in cigar making, founded by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo — a Cuban-American master blender who previously created the legendary La Gloria Cubana brand. After selling La Gloria Cubana to General Cigar in 2000, Ernesto launched his own company and proceeded to win Cigar Aficionado's #1 Cigar of the Year not once but twice — with the E.P. Carrillo Encore in 2018 and the Pledge Prequel in 2020. CigarFinder compares E.P. Carrillo prices across 17+ trusted retailers.

About E.P. Carrillo Cigars

Ernesto Perez-Carrillo's cigar legacy spans decades. Born to a Cuban cigar-making family, he grew up rolling cigars in his father's small Miami factory. In the 1990s, he transformed La Gloria Cubana from a tiny operation into one of the most acclaimed cigar brands in the world — a brand so successful that General Cigar acquired it in 2000.

Rather than retire, Ernesto launched E.P. Carrillo in 2009, determined to prove he could do it all over again. Working from his Tabacalera La Alianza factory in Santiago, Dominican Republic, he immediately began producing critically acclaimed cigars. The La Historia earned a 96-point rating. The Encore won Cigar Aficionado #1 Cigar of the Year in 2018. The Pledge Prequel made it two #1 wins in 2020 — a feat almost unheard of in the industry.

The Inch series is the value champion — a 60-ring-gauge powerhouse at everyday prices. Seleccion Oscuro showcases dark, rich Maduro character. Allegiance is a Nicaraguan puro. The INCH Nicaragua extends the popular large-format concept with Nicaraguan tobaccos. Every E.P. Carrillo cigar reflects Ernesto's decades of Cuban blending tradition.
