Podcast appearances and mentions of ernesto perez carrillo

For PCA 2025, La Gloria Cubana turned to an old friend for its signature release. For the past couple of years, we have seen La Gloria Cubana work with some experimental tobaccos and a crowd-sourced project. At the same time, La Gloria Cubana has been a brand looking to reconnect with its roots. First, there was the La Gloria Cubana Eighth Street, which saw La Gloria Cubana return to making a cigar in Little Havana for the first time since Ernesto Perez-Carrillo owned the brand. La Gloria Cubana now turns to Ernesto for an all-new regular production line called Los Gloriosos. This cigar was shown off at the Forged Cigar Company booth at PCA 2025.

Let's Get Pairing talks pairings with Ernesto Perez-Carrillo PCA 2024 Report: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-sDr

The #15 2023 Cigar of the Year is the E.P. Carrillo INCH Nicaragua No. 60. In 2012, E.P. Carrillo launched a line focused on large ring gauge cigars known as the INCH Series. Large ring gauge cigars are nothing new to Ernesto Perez-Carrillo as he was considered a pioneer in this area while he was with La Gloria Cubana. Released in a Maduro and a Natural (Sumatra), it quickly became one of E.P. Carrillo's most successful lines. In 2022, a new regular production addition to the INCH line, the INCH Nicaragua, was added. As the name indicates, INCH Nicaragua is not only a 100% Nicaraguan cigar, but it's a cigar that's made in Nicaragua - and it's made at the Plasencia factory in Nicaragua. This marked the first time E.P. Carrillo worked in a factory outside its Tabacalera La Alianza facility. Since then, E.P. Carrillo has done the Allegiance at the Oliva factory (which landed on the Countdown at #22) and Short Run 2023 out of Oscar Valladares' factory. Full Details: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-raO

The #22 2023 Cigar of the Year is the E.P. Carrillo Allegiance Sidekick. The Allegiance is the fourth installment of the Perez-Carrillo line. The Allegiance is a cigar that Ernesto Perez-Carrillo blended, but it is being produced from Oliva's TABOLISA factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. It was the second project by E.P. Carrillo to be produced outside its Tabacalera La Alianza factory. Other projects we have seen are the E.P. Carrillo INCH Nicaragua out of Plasencia and the Short Run 2023 out of Oscar Valladares' factory. The name Allegiance pays homage to the many partnerships and alliances the Perez-Carrillo family has forged over the years. In the case of the Allegiance, the partnership is strong, as Oliva had one of its Cuba Aliados projects produced at Tabacelrera La Alianza. Full Details: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-r7t Note: On this audio/video recording, we incorrectly said E.P. Carrillo had eight appearances on the Countdown. In reality it was nine.

Over the years, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo has become synonymous with creating legendary cigars and establishing a factory (Tabacalera La Alianza) that has produced many releases for industry leaders. However, at the 2023 Premium Cigar Association (PCA)Trade Show, things were a little different. The two releases that E.P. Carrillo featured were not being done at their own factory. Last year Ernesto started an initiative where he would go out to other factories, work with their tobaccos, and develop a blend. The company's two releases for the 2023 PCA Trade Show, Short Run 2013 and INCH Nicaragua 7 x 70, were developed at the Oscar Valladares and Plasencia factories. The company has also moved to focus on charitable and philanthropic efforts – most notably the Pledge 98 campaign in support of Els for Autism. This was an effort spearheaded by Ernesto's granddaughter Skye McPhillips. This year we talked with Skye and Ernesto's daughter Lissette. While we had a conversation about cigars, we also dived into the story of the Pledge 98 campaign. Full PCA Report: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-q30

Cigar Aficionado magazine loves EP Carrillo cigars. And they should. The cigars are fantastic. The patriarch of the company is Ernesto Perez-Carrillo. He's third generation in the business after his (thankfully) failed attempt to become a jazz drummer in New York City as a much younger man. Today he leads the company as they develop new product, supervise the growth of a variety of tobaccos in Central America, train rollers, and market across the world. His son and daughter - both brilliant - are also in the business and he's grooming them to lead. This year they're on track to make four million cigars. We talk family business, hurricanes, the youth market, and much more. And you'll hear me geek out a bit because Mr Carrillo is a bit of a celebrity to me - so dang cool to get to talk to him. Check out What Works - my book highlighting the top ten business lessons I learned from the first 200 episodes of the show.  Show Sponsors: Allison Horner - State Farm Agent E3 Termite and Pest Control Roy Lewis Construction Angelo DePaola - The Coastal Connection Realty Trey Langus - Transworld Business Advisors Persons Services Corp

The Smoking Syndicate Roundtable reconvenes tonight as we smoke Oliva's Cuba Aliados by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo in the Torpedo size. A year ago, Oliva stunned the cigar world indicating it was acquiring three Honduran brands from the Reyes family: Cuba Aliados, Puros Indios, and Roly. Just before the Trade Show, Oliva relaunched the Cuba Aliados brand and would stun the cigar world a second time by announcing it would be turning to two third-party factories to handle production of Cuba Aliados: Julio R. Eiroa's Fabrica de Puros Aladino S.A. in Honduras and Ernesto Perez-Carrillo's Tabacalera La Alianza in the Dominican Republic. Our attention for this show will be on Ernesto's blend. Cuba Aliados by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo is a limited production cigar with 10,000 boxes produced for 2022. It features an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and a combination of Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers Tune in and find out what the Roundtable thinks of this release.

One of the biggest stories of the 2022 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show was Oliva Company. It was easily the biggest PCA Trade Show since Oliva was acquired by J. Cortès in 2016. One can argue this might have been the biggest Trade Show Oliva had in a decade since the launch of Melanio. A year ago, Oliva stunned the cigar world indicating it was acquiring three Honduran brands from the Reyes family: Cuba Aliados, Puros Indios, and Roly. Just before the Trade Show, Oliva relaunched the Cuba Aliados brand and would stun the cigar world a second time by announcing it would be turning to two third-party factories to handle production: Julio R. Eiroa's Fabrica de Puros Aladino S.A. in Honduras and Ernesto Perez-Carrillo's Tabacalera La Alianza in the Dominican Republic. In addition, Oliva had other offerings including the 2022 edition of its Advent Calendar, a Melanio sampler offering, and a new cigarillo. This was a booth our team was personally very excited to cover! PCA 2022 Report: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-nqq

Wir rauchen die EPC Ernesto Perez-Carrillo NEW WAVE Connecticut im Divinos (Toro) Format. Neben der Zigarre an sich, geht es unter anderem darum, ob man Empfehlungen von (Online)Händlern wirklich vertrauen sollte ... ;-)

I've picked the Crowned Heads Four Kicks for Night 7 of the Festival of Lightation. This medium-bodied boutique cigar was created with Ernesto Perez-Carrillo and uses an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and Nicaragua filler tobaccos which burst with notes of richness and complexity.

For Episode 144, we are honored to welcome another legend to our show, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr. This will be a fun episode as we catch up with Ernesto on the happenings at E.P. Carrillo, including the new Pledge cigar set to hit stores this summer. We will also talk plenty of blending and industry talk with Ernesto as well. Ernesto also sticks around for our Live True segment.

Ernesto also sticks around for our Live True segment.

Ernesto Perez-Carrillo has built a reputation as being one of the cigar industry's most celebrated cigarmakers with an amazing story. Ernesto grew up in Cuba and moved to America where he wanted to become a musician. That dream evolved and cigars entered his life and he went on to understand tobacco on a level that few have. Ernesto talks about blending cigars and building his own brand, E.P. Carrillo Cigar Co., a company he runs with his family. He also looks back on his career, from experiencing the Cigar Boom in the '90s to creating a new trend, big ring gauged cigars. Ernesto also talks about winning Cigar Aficionado's Cigar of the Year, collaborating with others, and how he ultimately hopes to be remembered.

Carrillo's "Cigar of the Year, 2018" and neither left me with positive feelings about the brand.However, the Balmoral Dueto is a collaboration between Ernesto and someone else, so this Serie Signaturas can't be ALL bad, can it?But, honestly, I'm still cautiously optimistic about this cigar. It looks great, the wrapper is beautiful, and the label on the cigar was designed with great care. So, what's not to look forward to?My first impressions of the cigar were that it was a decent stick with a decent draw. The flavors were ok, but the burn started off a little uneven.Brand: BalmoralLine: Serie Signaturas, DuetoSize: 5 1/2 x 50 (the CIGRco info sheet was wrong)Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $13 - CIGRcoWrapper: Nicaragua (Jalapa) (the CIGRco info sheet was wrong)Binder: Nicaragua (Esteli)Filler: Nicaragua, BrazilLearn About This Cigar - https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-balmoral-signaturasduetoFinal Thoughts:After enjoying the Balmoral Serie Signaturas Dueto Ovacion for right around 70 minutes, I have to say that it was good, but not great. I just don't like spending $13 on something that takes just over an hour to smoke. The burn was good. The draw was good. But, I wish it had lasted longer.But, at the end of the day, if you really wanted to try this cigar, I'd have no problem grabbing one and smoking it with you. For that reason and because this cigar hits most of the right points, the Balmoral Serie Signaturas Dueto Ovacion earns a CigarScore 3.#CigarScoreTV #CIGRco:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigarsat https://www.cigarscore.com:::::Where I buy my cigars: https://click.cigarscore.com/famoussmokePremium Cigar Samplers: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-premiumsamplers:::::Subscribe to my YouTube Channel! - https://click.cigarscore.com/subscribeonyoutube::::: Gear I Used or Mentioned in This Video :::::Main camera: https://www.ellorywells.com/yt-canon80dMain lens: https://www.ellorywells.com/yt-canon18125mmMusic: https://www.cigarscore.com/musicLapel mic: https://www.ellorywells.com/yt-movolv1Sturdy tripod: https://www.ellorywells.com/yt-tripodTravel camera: https://www.ellorywells.com/yt-canong7xiiHandheld tripod: https://www.ellorywells.com/yt-manfrotto:::::SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscore:::::AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.
