# E. P. Carrillo Pledge Prequel Review by ElCid

This was the Cigar of the year for 2020 per Cigar Aficionado and I needed to see if it met the accolades. This 5X50 box press with a US Connecticut Habano wrapper around Ecuadorian binder and Nicaraguan fillers definately met the challenge. By ElCid on April 29 2024 8:58:13 PM

## Hype or?

This was the Cigar of the year for 2020 per Cigar Aficionado and I needed to see if it met the accolades. This 5X50 box press with a US Connecticut Habano wrapper around Ecuadorian binder and Nicaraguan fillers definately met the challenge. For me it had upfront black pepepr spice, but with strong notes of molasses. I found this delicious stick to be worth all of the hype.
