EP Carrillo Pledge Prequel

A dark, box-pressed beauty with a genuine Connecticut Habano wrapper — a Cuban-seed varietal grown in Massachusetts that delivers a richness and structure rarely found in American-grown leaf. The Pledge Prequel opens with a bold blast of black pepper before settling into thick, chewy layers of cedar, leather, peanut, and espresso. The rye bread and molasses notes that weave through the profile create an almost savory complexity that builds beautifully to the finish.
