E.P. Carrillo’s The Pledge is highest rated cigar of all-time via Cigar Aficionado Magazine – 98 Points:

“The most distinct tobacco in the Pledge is its wrapper, a Cuban-seed varietal grown in Connecticut aptly called Connecticut Habano. On its own, the E.P. Carrillo Pledge Prequel is a delicious smoke that delivers flavor in bold, zesty parcels of spicy oak, licorice, black cherry and black pepper. Baking spices sing like a holiday chorus, and when you think you’ve tasted all the cigar has to offer, a warm, familiar note of baked apple settles across the palate. That performance alone is what sent the cigar straight to the top of the list. However, when you look at Pledge Prequel as part of a larger body of work, you see that Perez-Carrillo’s trilogy nearly hit the trifecta, as two out of three were named Cigar of the Year, the other barely missing at No. 2. Achievements like this are the confluence of skill, talent and experience.”

New Wave Connecticut are gorgeous at first glance with a beautiful wrapper from Ecuador. They have a taste profile just a little different than you might expect with sweet and creamy notes but also a noticeable touch of spice. These characteristics last throughout the cigar and you will also discover increasing notes of earth and wood in the second half.
